FAS revised model with positions of polypeptides, three catalytic domains and their corresponding reactions, visualization by Kosi Gramatikoff. Fatty acid synthases FAS is enzymatic system composed of 272 kDa multifunctional polypeptide, in which substrates are handed from one functional domain to the next12345. Contents 1 Metabolic function 2 Classes 3 Structure 4 Regulation 5 Clinical significance 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Metabolic function Fatty acids are aliphatic acids fundamental to energy production and storage, cellular structure and as intermediates in the biosynthesis of hormones and other biologically important molecules. They are synthesised by a series of decarboxylative Claisen condensation reactions from Acetyl-CoA and Malonyl-CoA see fatty acid synthesis. Following each round of elongation the beta keto group is reduced to the fully saturated carbon chain by the action of a ketoreductase KR, enol reductase ER and dehydratase DH. The growing fatty acid chain is carried as an acyl carrier protein ACP linked substrate, and is released by the action of a thioesterase TE see positions of the polypeptides in the 3D models on the right. Classes There are two principal classes of fatty acid synthases. Type I systems utilise a single large, multifunctional polypeptide and are common to both mammals and fungi although the structural arrangement of fungal and mammalian synthases differ. Type II, or bacterial systems, use discrete, monofunctional enzymes which are used iteratively to elongate and reduce the fatty acid chain. Structure FAS 'head-to-tail' model with positions of polypeptides, three catalytic domains and their corresponding reactions, visualization by Kosi Gramatikoff. FAS 'head-to-tail' model with positions of polypeptides, three catalytic domains and their corresponding reactions, visualization by Kosi Gramatikoff. Mammalian FAS consists of two identical multifunctional polypeptides, in which three catalytic domains in the N-terminal section -ketoacyl synthase KS, malonyl/acetyltransferase MAT, and dehydrase DH, are separated by a core region of 600 residues from four C-terminal domains enoyl reductase ER, -ketoacyl reductase KR, acyl carrier protein ACP and thioesterase TE67. The conventional model for organization of FAS see the 'head-to-tail' model on the right is largely based on the observations that the bifunctional reagent 1,3-dibromopropanone DBP is able to crosslink the active site cysteine thiol of the KS domain in one FAS monomer with the phosphopantetheine prosthetic group of the ACP domain in the other monomer89. Complementation analysis of FAS dimers carrying different mutations on each monomer has established that the KS and MAT domains can cooperate with the ACP of either monomer1011 and a reinvestigation of the DBP crosslinking experiments revealed that the KS active site Cys161 thiol could be crosslinked to the ACP 4'-phosphopantetheine thiol of either monomer12. In addition, it has been recently reported that a heterodimeric FAS containing only one competent monomer is capable of palmitate synthesis13. The above observations seemed incompatible with the classical 'head-to-tail' model for FAS organization, and an alternative model has been proposed, predicting that the KS and MAT domains of both monomers lie closer to the center of the FAS dimer, where they can access the ACP of either subunit 14see figure on the top right. Regulation Metabolism and homeostasis of fatty acid is regulated by liver X receptor LXRs. LXRs regulate fatty acid synthesis by modulating the expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c SREBP-1c.1516 Clinical significance It has been investigated as a possible oncogene.17 FAS is up-regulated in breast cancers and as well as being an indicator of poor prognosis may also be worthwhile as a chemotherapeutic target.1819 See also Fatty acid synthesis Fatty acid metabolism Fatty acid degradation Fatty acid Essential fatty acid Enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase List of fatty acid metabolism disorders FASN, the human gene encoding the fatty acid synthase protein References ^ Alberts, A.W., Strauss, A.W., Hennessy, S.
