Fatty acyl coa

Manufactured by Avanti Polar Lipids

Fatty acyl CoAs are key intermediates in lipid metabolism. They are the activated forms of fatty acids, which are essential for various cellular processes such as energy production, membrane synthesis, and signal transduction. Fatty acyl CoAs serve as substrates for a wide range of enzymatic reactions, playing a crucial role in the regulation and maintenance of cellular lipid homeostasis.

Recombinant FarO and CPR were assayed for reductase activity by incubating infected Sf9 cell lysate preparations with NAD(P)H and fatty acid (Sigma-Aldrich) or fatty acyl-CoA (Avanti Polar Lipids) substrates. Briefly, cell lysate supernatants in CLB were incubated in 100mM Tris HCl pH 7.0, 100 μM DTT, 0.5 mM PMSF and 10 μl of protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma) supplemented with 120–150 μM 26:0–CoA or 24:0–CoA and 2.3 mM NADH (Fisher Scientific) or NADPH (Sigma Aldrich). All listed concentrations are final in 600–1000 μl reaction volumes. Samples were incubated at 30°C for 2 h and then extracted twice with hexane:ether (50/50, v/v) into glass vials. Samples were dried down to completion under N2 gas, resuspended in pure hexane and analyzed by gas chromatography using either a DB-5 column (Agilent) or a Shimadzu non-polar polysiloxane column, (catalog number: 220-94536-01, phase: SHR5XLB) with the following profile: injector temperature 150°C, FID temperature 300°C; program:160°C for 0.2 min, ramp to 265°C at 15°C/min, ramp to 295°C at 5°C/min, and hold for 5 min at 295°C.

Cell homogenates were prepared in 20 mM HEPES-KOH, pH 7.2, 25 mM KCl, 250 mM sucrose, and 2 mM MgCl 2 containing a protease inhibitor mixture. Protein was determined using the BCA reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Samples were incubated with 15 µM NBD-sphinganine (Avanti Polar Lipids), 20 µM defatted BSA (Sigma-Aldrich), and 50 µM fatty acyl-CoA (Avanti Polar Lipids) in a 20 µl reaction volume. CerS (40 µg protein, 25 min reaction time) was assayed using C24.1-CoA and Cer5/6 (5 µg protein, 5 min reaction time) assayed using C16-CoA. Reactions were terminated by chloroform/methanol (1:2, v/v) and lipids extracted. Lipids were dried under N 2 , resuspended in chloroform/methanol (9:1, v/v), and separated by TLC (Merck) using chloroform/methanol, 2M NH 4 OH (40:10:1, v/v/v) as the developing solvent. NBD-labeled lipids were visualized using an Amersham Typhoon5 imager and quantified by ImageQuantTL (GE Healthcare, Chalfont St Giles, UK). All solvents were of analytical grade and were purchased from Bio-Lab (Jerusalem, Israel).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
