| ln Vitro | 2-Hydroxyfatty acids, constituents of brain cerebrosides and sulfatides, were previously reported to be degraded by an alpha-oxidation system, generating fatty acids shortened by one carbon atom. In the current study we used labeled and unlabeled 2-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid to reinvestigate the degradation of this class of lipids. Both in intact and broken cell systems formate was identified as a main reaction product. Furthermore, the generation of an n-1 aldehyde was demonstrated. In permeabilized rat hepatocytes and liver homogenates, studies on cofactor requirements revealed a dependence on ATP, CoA, Mg(2+), thiamine pyrophosphate, and NAD(+). Together with subcellular fractionation data and studies on recombinant enzymes, this led to the following picture. In a first step, the 2-hydroxyfatty acid is activated to an acyl-CoA; subsequently, the 2-hydroxy fatty acyl-CoA is cleaved by 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA lyase, to formyl-CoA and an n-1 aldehyde. The severe inhibition of formate generation by oxythiamin treatment of intact fibroblasts indicates that cleavage through the thiamine pyrophosphate-dependent 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA lyase is the main pathway for the degradation of 2-hydroxyfatty acids. The latter protein was initially characterized as an essential enzyme in the peroxisomal alpha-oxidation of 3-methyl-branched fatty acids such as phytanic acid. Our findings point to a new role for peroxisomes in mammals, i.e. the breakdown of 2-hydroxyfatty acids, at least the long chain 2-hydroxyfatty acids. Most likely, the more abundant very long chain 2-hydroxyfatty acids are degraded in a similar manner [2]. |
| ln Vivo | The structure and enzymology of the phytanic acid alpha-oxidation pathway have long remained an enigma. Recent studies have shown that phytanic acid first undergoes activation to its coenzyme A ester, followed by hydroxylation to 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA. In this paper we have studied the mechanism of decarboxylation of 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA in human liver. To this end, human liver homogenates were incubated with 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA in the presence or absence of NAD+. Hereafter, the medium was analyzed for the presence of pristanal and pristanic acid by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Our results show that pristanal is formed from 2-hydroxyphytanoyl-CoA. Pristanal is subsequently oxidized to pristanic acid in a NAD+ dependent reaction. These results finally resolve the mechanism of the phytanic acid alpha-oxidation process in human liver. [1] |

| Additional Infomation | To control the levels of 2-hydroxyfatty acids in brain cerebrosides and sulfatides, supposed to play a role in myelinization, a strategy relying on different sets of enzymes for their synthesis and degradation, located at different subcellular sites, might be more beneficial. Moreover, as was reported in older literature and recently discussed by Alderson et al., hydroxylation of straight chain fatty acids might occur only after incorporation in sphingolipids, which would further rule out peroxisomes as a key player in this hydroxylation process. In this context it is of interest to note that 2-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid was hardly incorporated into complex lipids when given to intact cells.3 Overall, the α-oxidation of straight chain fatty acids, as has been described especially for brain, appears to proceed as follows; 1) hydroxylation of the fatty acid by a fatty acid 2-hydroxylase (see the Introduction), 2) activation of the 2-hydroxyfatty acid to a 2-hydroxyacyl-CoA, 3) cleavage of the CoA ester into formyl-CoA and an n – 1 fatty aldehyde, and 4) dehydrogenation of the aldehyde to the corresponding n – 1 odd-numbered fatty acid.
