Mechanism for remodeling of the acyl chain composition of cardiolipin catalyzed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae tafazzin

Remodeling of the acyl chains of cardiolipin (CL) is responsible for final molecular composition of mature CL after de novo CL synthesis in mitochondria. Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergoes tafazzin-mediated CL remodeling, in which tafazzin serves as a transacylase from phospholipids to monolyso-CL (MLCL). In light of the diversity of the acyl compositions of mature CL between different organisms, the mechanism underlying tafazzin-mediated transacylation remains to be elucidated. We investigated the mechanism responsible for transacylation using purified S. cerevisiae tafazzin with liposomes composed of various sets of acyl donors and acceptors. The results revealed that tafazzin efficiently catalyzes transacylation in liposomal membranes with highly ordered lipid bilayer structure. Tafazzin elicited unique acyl chain specificity against phosphatidylcholine (PC) as follows: linoleoyl (18:2) > oleoyl (18:1) = palmitoleoyl (16:1) ? palmitoyl (16:0). In these reactions, tafazzin selectively removed the sn-2 acyl chain of PC and transferred it into the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of MLCL isomers at equivalent rates. We demonstrated for the first time that MLCL and dilyso-CL have inherent abilities to function as an acyl donor to monolyso-PC and acyl acceptor from PC, respectively. Furthermore, a Barth syndrome-associated tafazzin mutant (H77Q) was shown to completely lack the catalytic activity in our assay. It is difficult to reconcile the present results with the so-called thermodynamic remodeling hypothesis, which premises that tafazzin reacylates MLCL by unsaturated acyl chains only in disordered non-bilayer lipid domain. The acyl specificity of tafazzin may be one of the factors that determine the acyl composition of mature CL in S. cerevisiae mitochondria.

Phosphatidylcholine with cis-9,trans-11 and trans-10,cis-12 Conjugated Linoleic Acid Isomers: Synthesis and Cytotoxic Studies

Novel phosphatidylcholines and lysophosphatidylcholines with cis-9,trans-11 and trans-10,cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) were synthesized in high yields (75-99%). The in vitro cytotoxic activities of these compounds against three human cancer cell lines (HL-60, MCF-7, and HT-29) were evaluated. The results revealed that there are differences in the activity between phosphatidylcholine with cis-9,trans-11 and trans-10,cis-12 CLA acyl groups. 1,2-Di(9Z,11E)-octadecadienoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine was the most potent cytotoxic agent among all tested CLA derivatives and its IC50 (concentration of a compound that inhibits the proliferation of 50% of the cancer cell population) was 29.4M against HL-60. Moreover, phosphatidylcholines with CLA acyls exhibited much lower cytotoxicity against non-cancer cells (Balb/3T3) than free CLA isomers.

Short-route Synthesis of a Glycerophospholipid Bearing an Unsaturated Acyl Group at the sn-1 Position

A short-route synthesis of an optically active phosphocholine bearing an unsaturated acyl group at the sn-1 position was developed via lipase-catalyzed enantioselective acylation of 2-O-methoxyethoxymethylglycerol, removal of the MEM group by employing catechol boron bromide, subsequent DCC-mediated acylation of the hydroxy group at the 2-position and final introduction of a choline phosphate moiety.

NMR Studies of Micellar Aggregates in 1-Acyl-sn-glycerophosphocholine Systems. The Formation of a Cubic Liquid Crystalline Phase

Measurements of the amphiphile diffusion coefficient, using the NMR pulsed-field gradient technique, have been performed on micellar solutions and cubic liquid crystalline phases of the following lysophosphatidylcholines: 1-lauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (LaLPC), 1-myristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (MyLPC), 1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PaLPC), 1-stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (StLPC), 1-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (OlLPC), and 1-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (LiLPC).The 2H spin relaxation rates at two magnetic fields have been measured in micellar solutions of PaLPC.The phase equilibria at 25 and 35 deg C in the aqueous binary systems of LaLPC and MyLPC have been studied by 31P NMR and by optical techniques for lipid concentrations up to 50percent (w/w) 2H2O. 2H and 14N quadrupole splittings have been measured in anisotropic phases of PaLPC, OlLPC, and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC).A cubic liquid crystalline phase, I1, located between the micellar and hexagonal phase regions, is formed by LaLPC and MyLPC between approximately 40percent and 45percent (w/w) lipid in 2H2O.As previously shown the I1 phase is also formed by PaLPC while not by StLPC, OlLPC, and LiLPC for which a concentrated micellar solution is in equilibrium with the hexagonal phase (Arvidson et al.Eur.J.Biochem. 1985, 152, 753).For LaLPC, amphiphile diffusion measurements show that the cubic phase I1 consists of closed micellar aggregates.Amphiphile diffusion and 2H spin relaxation studies of the micellar phases show that the aggregates formed by LaLPC, MyLPC, PaLPC, and StLPC remain small and globular over the whole micellar phase region, while the micelles of OlLPC and LiLPC are large and polydispersed.Micelle diffusion measurements provide information about aggregate interactions, which is shown to be compatible with magnitudes of the hydration force and the van der Waals interactions previously obtained for corresponding bilayers.The formation of the cubic face I1 is discussed in terms of the packing of interacting micellar aggregates in a newly proposed structure for the cubic phase.
