TLDR
Emerging data implicate ACOTs in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases, suggesting that better understanding their pathobiology could reveal unique targets in the management of obesity, diabetes, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.Abstract:
The cellular uptake of free fatty acids (FFA) is followed by esterification to coenzyme A (CoA), generating fatty acyl-CoAs that are substrates for oxidation or incorporation into complex lipids. Acyl-CoA thioesterases (ACOTs) constitute a family of enzymes that hydrolyze fatty acyl-CoAs to form FFA and CoA. Although biochemically and biophysically well characterized, the metabolic functions of these enzymes remain incompletely understood. Existing evidence suggests regulatory roles in controlling rates of peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acyl-CoA oxidation, as well as in the subcellular trafficking of fatty acids. Emerging data implicate ACOTs in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases, suggesting that better understanding their pathobiology could reveal unique targets in the management of obesity, diabetes, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.read more

TL;DR: Fluorescent mitochondria-targeted probes are developed and it is found that depalmitoylation occurs in mitochondria and it’s influenced by alterations in mitochondrial lipid homeostasis, revealing that mitochondrial S-palMIToylation is actively regulated by “eraser” enzymes that respond to alterations to mitochondrial lipidHomeostasis.

TL;DR: This study combines whole-genome CNV calling and population genetic inference methods to discover CNVs and assess signals of selection after controlling for demographic history, and shows that Melanesian-stratified CNVs are significantly associated with signals of positive selection.

TL;DR: A two-base mechanism by which the histidine and aspartic acid together catalyze dehydration and isomerization reactions is consistent with the active-site structure, revealing features of predictive value for another enzyme, FabZ, which may be the non-specific dehydratase involved in elongation of fatty acyl chains.
