The α-Helical Domain of Liver Fatty Acid Binding Protein Is Responsible for the Diffusion-Mediated Transfer of Fatty Acids to Phospholipid Membranes†
TL;DR: The results showed a significant modification of the absolute rate of FA transfer from the chimeric proteins compared to that of the wild type, indicating that the slower rate ofFA transfer observed for wild-type LFABP relative to this of wild- type IFABP is, in part, determined by the helical domain of the proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the helical domain in fatty acid transfer from adipocyte and heart fatty acid-binding proteins to membranes: Analysis of chimeric proteins
TL;DR: The results suggest that the αII-helix is important in determining the absolute FA transfer rates and appears to be particularly important in regulating protein sensitivity to the negative charge of membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of membranes and intracellular binding proteins in cytoplasmic transport of hydrophobic molecules: Fatty acid-binding proteins
TL;DR: The mechanism of transfer of fluorescent anthroyloxy-labeled fatty acids (AOFA) from purified FABP's to phospholipid vesicles is examined and it is found that “cytosolic” FABPs may function in intracellular transport of fatty acids to decrease their membrane association, as well as to target fatty acid to specific subcellular sites of utilization.

The Role of Intracellular Fatty Acid-Binding Proteins in Cellular Transport of Fatty Acids
Judith Storch,Fiona M. Herr,Kuo Tung Hsu,Hye Kyung Kim,Heng Ling Liou,Ana M. Monroy,Elizabeth R. Smith +6 more
TL;DR: The family of mammalian fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP) includes at least ten distinct gene products, and additional homologues continue to be reported, and a role for FABP in cytoplasmic transport of FA from sites of entry and/or synthesis to sites of utilization and function, is implied.
