Lipids Part 1 – Fatty Acid Structures Dr. Heisel BMS100 Lipid Review • Lipids can be broken down structurally into two main classes:  1) Those based on fatty acid structure  2) Those based on isoprenoid structure Lipids: Fatty acids Objectives Be able to provide the name of a given fatty acid using the two common naming conventions Discuss the differences between cis and trans unsaturated fatty acids Outline the mechanism and regulation of fatty acid synthesis Discuss the importance of essential fatty acids Outline the basic structure and function of the following: Triacylglycerols Provide the mechanism and regulation of synthesis Outline the links between sugar intake and fat storage Phospholipids Discuss the mechanism of synthesis Glycosphingolipids Eicosanoids Waxes Lipids: Fatty acids Outline Naming of fatty acids Fatty acid synthesis Lipids with fatty acid structures Triacylglycerols Phospholipids Glycosphingolipids Eicosanoids Waxes Fatty acids Naming of fatty acids Two naming conventions are commonly used to describe fatty acid structure Examples: 18:4Δ6,9,12,15 and 18:4 (ω-3) Both describe a fatty acid with 4 double bonds in the same place Fatty acids 18:4Δ6,9,12,15 18 = number of carbons 4 = total number of double bonds (db) 6,9,12,15 = first carbon of each db, counting from acid end Fatty acids 18:4 (ω-3) 18 15 3 12 9 6 1 18 = number of carbons 4 = total number of double bonds (db) ω-3 = first carbon of first db, counting from the methyl end Each subsequent db is then 3 carbons away Unlike the previous naming convention, these subsequent carbons are not included in the name Fatty acids 18:4Δ6,9,12,15and 18:4 (ω-3) are the same fatty acid 15 3 12 1 9 6 Fatty acids Unsaturated fatty acids Double bonds can be cis or trans The cis form creates a “bend” in the structure What do you think this does to membrane fluidity? ie do cis bonds allow for tighter or looser packing of phospholipids? Fatty acids Cis vs trans double-bonds Cis = most naturally made fats Trans = two sources Some made naturally by bacteria in gut of ruminants, so found in meat products FYI: meats are typically less than 6% trans Most made commercially as a by-product of partial hydrogenation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/ Fatty Acids Class Poll Partial hydrogenation targets cis-bonds in fatty acids to: A) Remove hydrogens and turn oils into solid fats B) Remove hydrogens and turn solid fats into oils C) Add hydrogens and turn oils into solid fats D) Add hydrogens and turn solid fats into oils Why would you want to do this? Fatty acids Cis vs trans double-bonds Trans fats continued By-product of partial hydrogenation is formation of some trans bonds FYI: partially hydrogenated fats can be upto 60% trans How can partially hydrogenated fats be labelled as “0 trans fat” ? Using reduced pressure and blending with oil reduces the trans fat content. Less than 0.5 grams per serving can be labelled as “0% trans fat”. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/ Associated with increased risk of coronary PMC2596737/ heart disease https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/highblood-cholesterol/in-depth/trans-fat/art-20046114 Lipids: Fatty acids Outline Naming of fatty acids Fatty acid synthesis Lipids with fatty acid structures Triacylglycerols Phospholipids Glycosphingolipids Eicosanoids Waxes Fatty acids Fatty acid synthesis Occurs in cytoplasm, typically makes 16:0 palmitate Substrates: Acetyl CoA and malonyl CoA Malonyl CoA is acetyl CoA with an extra CO2 group added CO 2 Fatty acids Fatty acid synthesis Enzyme: Fatty acid synthase Enzyme complex, exists as a dimer Two fatty acid chains can be made at once Contains two S groups: one from cysteine, one from B5 Cys binds acetyl groups, B5 binds malonyl groups These will combine to make one chain on each side of the enzyme COOCH3 CH2 C=O C= O S S Cys B5 B5 Cys S S C=O C=O CH2 CH3 COO- Fatty acids Fatty acid synthesis CO 2 Coenzymes: B7 (biotin) Helps add CO2 to acetyl CoA to make malonyl CoA What do you think the enzyme name is?

Some we can make in the ER Desaturase enzymes use NAD(P)H (B3) to create double bonds Stearate (18:O) + NADH + H+ + O2  oleate (18:1Δ9 ) + NAD+ + 2H2O O2 picks up 2 H’s from stearate and 2 H’s from NADH + H+ Some are “essential”, only get from diet Example: linoleic acid, 18:2 Δ9,12 Δ12 and Δ15desaturase enzymes are only found in plants Fatty acids: Essential Needed to support cardiovascular, immune, reproductive and nervous systems ω-3 ex: α-linolenic acid High levels in fish ω-6 ex: linoleic acid High levels in vegetable oils Too many in relation to ω-3 levels can promote inflammation, increase the risk of heart disease, etc Optimal ratio around 1-4 : 1 for ω-6 : ω-3 Typical Wester diet around 16 : 1 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ Fatty acid synthesis regulation How do you regulate fatty acid synthesis?

Familial hypercholesteremia is an inherited defect in LDL-receptors Leads to an increase in circulating LDL, and therefore cholesterol, in the blood This increases risk of myocardial infarction Isoprenoids: Cholesterol Cholesterol is a precursor to steroid hormones All animal steroids are derived from cholesterol Cholesterol is first converted to pregnenolone, which is then converted to various other steroid hormones Cholester ol Hormones are made inOther specific tissues steroid depending on the enzymes that are expressed hormones Examples: in those tissues Pregnenolo ne - Testosterone and estrogen: made in testes and ovaries respectively - Cortisol: made by adrenal glands to regulate stress Isoprenoids: Plant sterols Plant sterols have a similar structure to cholesterol Used in plant membranes Can compete with intestinal cholesterol absorption Helps lower LDL cholesterol levels HO Cholesterol Plant Sterol Isoprenoids: Plant sterols Cardiac glycosides are derivatives of plant sterols Note the lipid attached to the carbohydrate: this is an isoprenoid ring structure Review: Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside What does it do to the heart?
