Identification and characterization of new long chain Acyl-CoA dehydrogenases

Abstract: Long-chain fatty acids are an important source of energy in muscle and heart where the acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (ACADs) participate in consecutive cycles of β-oxidation to generate acetyl-CoA and reducing equivalents for generating energy. However, the role of long-chain fatty acid oxidation in the brain and other tissues that do not rely on fat for energy is poorly understood. Here we characterize two new ACADs, ACAD10 and ACAD11, both with significant expression in human brain. ACAD11 utilizes substrates with… Show more

“…In CNS, VLCFA may be β-oxidized in mitochondria, because recently ACAD11, a new member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, which have substrate specificity to C20-C24, was shown to reside in the mitochondria of CNS. 29) In contrast to our results, Lageweg et al showed that VLCFA is oxidized exclusively in the peroxisomes of mixed glial cells prepared from the cerebra of a 7-d old rat. 30) This discrepancy might be caused by a species difference or the difference in the substrate used.…”

“…Compartmentalization of acyl-CoA dehydrogenases in the human CNS suggests that β-oxidation in the brain participates in different functions other than generating energy, for example the synthesis and/or degradation of unique cellular lipids and catabolism of aromatic amino acids, compounds that are vital to neuronal function; e.g. it may play a role in the turnover of lipid membrane unsaturated fatty acids that are essential for membrane integrity and structure [100,101]. …”

“…ACADs are a class of enzymes that catalyzes the initial step in each cycle of FAO. They differ in their specificity for different chain lengths of fatty acid acyl CoA substrates (34). As a proof of principle, we examined ACAD11, which specifically metabolizes longchain fatty acid substrates (e.g., palmitoyl CoA) (34).…”
