Abstract
Mouse cytosolic type I acyl-CoA thioesterase (CTE-I) is a member of the
type I family of acylCoA thioesterases. These enzymes hydrolyze acyl-CoAs
to non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) and Coenzyme A (CoA-SH) and are
strongly induced in rodent liver by a diverse group of compounds called
peroxisome proliferators. These peroxisome proliferators have been
characterized as ligands for the nuclear receptor peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha). PPARalpha is the key
nuclear receptor involved in control of fatty acid metabolism, and
regulation of acyl-CoA thioesterases by this receptor functionally links
them to fatty acid metabolism. We have cloned and characterized the mouse
CTE-I both structurally and functionally. CTE-I is a serine esterase and
its activity is dependent on a catalytic triad including amino acid
residues serine 232, aspartic acid 324 and histidine 358. We have
investigated the role of the PPARalpha in regulating CTE-I expression and
conclude that the strong induction of the CTE-I mRNA via peroxisome
proliferators is dependent on this receptor. We have demonstrated a
partially PPARalpha-dependent mRNA induction by fasting. We have analyzed
the CTE-I promoter region and identified a putative peroxisome
proliferator response element (PPRE) at -9680 bp upstream of the start
methionine (ATG). We initially purified CTE-I from rat and mouse liver
cytosol, but later re-investigated the subcellular localization of CTE-I
and conclude that it is a nucleo-cytoplasmic protein. We suggest a
function for CTE-I in regulating fatty acid metabolism and propose that
in the cytosol, CTE-I shuttles fatty acids towards oxidation, thereby
limiting esterification and triglyceride synthesis. In the nucleus, CTE-I
mediates crosstalk between the nuclear receptors PPARalpha and hepatocyte
nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF-4alpha) by controlling the amount of
available agonists/antagonists for these receptors.
