ABSTRACT
The fatty acid (FA) elongation cycle produces very-long-chain FAs with ≥C21, which have unique physiological functions. Trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductases (yeast, Tsc13; mammals, TECR) catalyze the reduction reactions in the fourth step of the FA elongation cycle and in the sphingosine degradation pathway. However, their catalytic residues and coordinated action in the FA elongation cycle complex are unknown. To reveal these, we generated and analyzed Ala-substituted mutants of 15 residues of Tsc13. An in vitro FA elongation assay showed that nine of these mutants were less active than WT protein, with E91A and Y256A being the least active. Growth complementation analysis, measurement of ceramide levels, and deuterium-sphingosine labeling revealed that the function of the E91A mutant was substantially impaired in vivo. In addition, we found that the activity of FA elongases, which catalyze the first step of the FA elongation cycle, were reduced in the absence of Tsc13. Similar results were observed in Tsc13 E91A-expressing cells, which is attributable to reduced interaction between the Tsc13 E91A mutant and the FA elongases Elo2/Elo3. Finally, we found that E94A and Y248A mutants of human TECR, which correspond to E91A and Y256A mutants of Tsc13, showed reduced and almost no activity, respectively. Based on these results and the predicted three-dimensional structure of Tsc13, we speculate that Tyr256/Tyr248 of Tsc13/TECR is the catalytic residue that supplies a proton to trans-2-enoyl-CoAs. Our findings provide a clue concerning the catalytic mechanism of Tsc13/TECR and the coordinated action in the FA elongation cycle complex.
