Very long-chain fatty acids are produced through a four-step cycle. However, the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase catalyzing the third step in mammals has remained unidentified. Mammals have four candidates, HACD1-4, based on sequence similarities to the recently identified yeast Phs1, although HACD3 and HACD4 share relatively weak similarity. We demonstrate that all four of these human proteins are indeed 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratases, in growth suppression experiments using a PHS1-shut off yeast strain and/or in vitro 3-hydroxypalmitoyl-CoA dehydratase assays. HACD proteins exhibit distinct tissue-expression patterns. We also establish that HACD proteins interact with the condensation enzymes ELOVL1-7, with some preferences.

HACD2 Promotes Pancreatic Cancer Progression by Enhancing PKM2 Dissociation From PRKN in a Dehydratase-Independent Manner.

3-Hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase 2 (HACD2), an obesity-related gene involved in the elongation of long-chain fatty acids, is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer (PC) and is associated with patient prognosis. Interestingly, the study reveals that HACD2 mediated the proliferation of PC cells in a dehydratase-independent manner, affecting the downstream glycolytic pathway. Mechanistically, HACD2 promotes PC cells proliferation by binding to E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase parkin (PRKN) and enhancing pyruvate kinase PKM (PKM2) dissociation from PRKN, resulting in reduced ubiquitination of PKM2 and increased dimerization of PKM2, which subsequently promote c-Myc expression and tumor growth.

Mitochondrial trifunctional protein (MTP) deficiency is a fatty acid oxidation disorder associated with a spectrum of phenotypes. Patients with high residual enzyme activity tend to have milder phenotypes, and recently, fever-induced episodic myopathy was reported in association with a thermosensitive form of MTP deficiency. We report a 10-year-old male with recurrent episodes of acute flaccid paralysis involving upper and lower extremities in association with bulbar muscle weakness in the context of febrile illness, a phenotype reminiscent of recurrent periodic paralysis.

Purpose: Progressive choroid and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) degeneration causing vision loss is a unique characteristic of long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHADD), a fatty acid oxidation disorder caused by a common c.1528G>C pathogenic variant in HADHA, the α subunit of the mitochondrial trifunctional protein (TFP). We established and characterized an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived RPE cell model from cultured skin fibroblasts of patients with LCHADD and tested whether addition of wildtype (WT) HAHDA could rescue the phenotypes identified in LCHADD-RPE.

Mitochondrial trifunctional protein (TFP) deficiency is an inherited metabolic disorder leading to a block in long-chain fatty acid β-oxidation. Mutations in HADHA and HADHB, which encode the TFP α and β subunits, respectively, usually result in combined TFP deficiency. A single common mutation, HADHA c.
