Introduction: Our untargeted metabolic data unveiled that Acyl-CoAs undergo dephosphorylation, however little is known about these novel metabolites and their physiology/pathology relevance.

Objectives: To understand the relationship between acyl-CoAs dephosphorylation and energy status as implied in our previous work, we seek to investigate how ischemia (energy depletion) triggers metabolic changes, specifically acyl-CoAs dephosphorylation in this work.

Methods: Rat hearts were isolated and perfused in Langendorff mode for 15 min followed by 0, 5, 15, and 30 minutes of global ischemia. The heart tissues were harvested for metabolic analysis.

Results: As expected, ATP and phosphocreatine were significantly decreased during ischemia. Most short- and medium-chain acyl-CoAs progressively increased with ischemic time from 0 to 15 min, whereas a 30-minute ischemia did not lead to further change. Unlike other acyl-CoAs, propionyl-CoA accumulated progressively in the hearts that underwent ischemia from 0 to 30 min. Progressive dephosphorylation occurred to all assayed acyl-CoAs and free CoA regardless their level changes during the ischemia.

Conclusion: The present work further confirms that dephosphorylation of acyl-CoAs is an energy-dependent process and how this dephosphorylation is mediated warrants further investigations. It is plausible that dephosphorylation of acyl-CoAs and limited anaplerosis are involved in ischemic injuries to heart. Further investigations are warranted to examine the mechanisms of acyl-CoA dephosphorylation and how the dephosphorylation is possibly involved in ischemic injuries.

Acyl coenzyme A (CoA)-binding protein (ACBP) can bind acyl-CoAs with high specificity and affinity, thus playing multiple roles in cellular functions. Mitochondria of the apicomplexan parasite have emerged as key organelles for lipid metabolism and signaling transduction. However, the rationale for how this parasite utilizes acyl-CoA-binding protein to regulate mitochondrial lipid metabolism remains unclear.

Oleaginous microorganism is becoming one of the most promising oil feedstocks for biodiesel production due to its great advantages in triglyceride (TAG) accumulation. Previous studies have shown that de novo TAG biosynthesis can be divided into two parts: the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway (the upstream part which generates acyl-CoAs) and the glycerol-3-phosphate acylation pathway (the downstream part in which three acyl groups are sequentially added onto a glycerol backbone). This review mainly focuses on two enzymes in the G3P pathway, phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) and diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT).

A metabolomic approach to selectively profile all acyl-CoAs was developed using a programmed multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) method in LC-MS/MS and was employed in the analysis of various rat organs. The programmed MRM method possessed 300 mass ion transitions with the mass difference of 507 between precursor ion (Q1) and product ion (Q3), and the precursor ion started from m/z 768 and progressively increased one mass unit at each step. Acyl-dephospho-CoAs resulting from the dephosphorylation of acyl-CoAs were identified by accurate MS and fragmentation.

Acyl-CoA:1-acylglycerophosphate acyltransferase activity was found in porcine erythrocyte membranes. However, the membrane preparations did not catalyze the acylation of either 2-acylglycerophosphate or 2-acylglycerophosphocholine. The 1-acylglycerophosphate acyltransferase and the known acyl-CoA:1-acylglycerophosphocholine acyltransferase systems differ in their specificities for acyl-CoAs and in their stabilities to detergents.
