Mechanism of fluorescent fatty acid transfer from adipocyte fatty acid binding protein to membranes

Abstract: Adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP) is a 15-kDa protein found in high abundance in the cytosol of adipose cells. To better understand the role of this protein in intracellular free fatty acid (ffa) transport, the mechanism of ffa transfer from A-FABP to model membranes was examined by monitoring the transfer of fluorescent anthroyloxy ffa (AOffa) to small unilamellar phospholipid vesicles, using a resonance energy transfer assay. Structural features of ffa that increase aqueous solubility, such as sh… Show more

“…With few exceptions [19][20][21], no significant difference in binding affinity has been found among FABP types or among fatty acids within a type [6,[22][23][24]. However, the rate of transfer of FABP-bound fatty acids to acceptor membranes varies greatly among types [25][26][27][28] and may reflect the functional diversity of FABPs. In particular, hearttype FABP transfers fatty acids to acceptor membrane 50-fold faster than does liver-type FABP [29].…”

“…In particular, hearttype FABP transfers fatty acids to acceptor membrane 50-fold faster than does liver-type FABP [29]. Heart and adipose FABPs both transfer FABPs at a ' fast ' rate relative to liver FABP and both transfer fatty acids via similar collisional mechanisms [25,26], but the rate of fatty acid transfer is affected by pH, ionic strength, phospholipid head-group charge on acceptor membranes and surface charge on donating FABPs [25,26,28,30]. Accordingly, Herr et al [30] proposed that FABPs may target fatty acid delivery to different intracellular compartments based on variation in organelle membrane lipid composition.…”

“…Alternatively, metabolic abnormalities may arise due to ineffi cient interactions between KLBP and intracellular proteins or membranes. Differences in the mechanism of ligand transfer from protein to phospholipid vesicles have been documented between LBPs, and in some cases, have been attributed to specifi c charged residues [8][9][10][11]. These observations have prompted us to explore the biochemical and biophysical characteristics of the two proteins.…”

“…A FABP has been proposed to be involved in the intracellular trafficking and targeting of fatty acids (3,4). In vitro studies have indicated that the transfer of fatty acids from AFABP to vesicles occurs during direct collisional interactions between the protein and acceptor membranes; however, the fatty acid transfer properties of KFABP have not been reported.…”

“…5 µmol/l phospholipid. Higher concentrations of AFABP were necessitated by the low 12AO quantum yield (3). The decrease in n-(9-anthroyloxy) fatty acid (AOFA) fluorescence upon mixing with acceptor membranes containing 10 mol% of the energy transfer quencher 2-{12-[(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-d i a z o l -4 -y l ) a m i n o ] d o d e c a n o y l } -1 -h e x a d e c a n o y l -s n -g l y e r c o -3 -p h o s p h o c h o l i n e (NBDPC) was monitored with a DX-17MV stopped-flow spectrofluorimeter (Applied Photophysics, Leatherhead, U.K.), and data were analyzed by exponential fitting, as previously described (15).…”
