BACKGROUND Description Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 8, also known as ACOT8, are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs to the free fatty acid and coenzyme A (CoASH), providing the potential to regulate intracellular levels of acyl-CoAs, free fatty acids and CoASH. This protein may mediate Nef-induced down-regulation of CD4. It competes with BAAT (Bile acid CoA: amino acid N-acyltransferase) for bile acid-CoA substrate (such as chenodeoxycholoyl-CoA). ACOT8 shows a preference for medium-length fatty acyl-CoAs. Recombinant human ACOT8 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional 1 Recombinant human ACOT8 protein Catalog Number: ATGP2115 chromatography techniques.

Small Cell Ovarian Carcinoma: Genomic Stability and Responsiveness to Therapeutics
Gamwell et al. Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases 2013, 8:33 http://www.ojrd.com/content/8/1/33 RESEARCH Open Access Small cell ovarian carcinoma: genomic stability and responsiveness to therapeutics Lisa F Gamwell1,2, Karen Gambaro3, Maria Merziotis2, Colleen Crane2, Suzanna L Arcand4, Valerie Bourada1,2, Christopher Davis2, Jeremy A Squire6, David G Huntsman7,8, Patricia N Tonin3,4,5 and Barbara C Vanderhyden1,2* Abstract Background: The biology of small cell ovarian carcinoma of the hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT), which is a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer, is poorly understood. Tumourigenicity, in vitro growth characteristics, genetic and genomic anomalies, and sensitivity to standard and novel chemotherapeutic treatments were investigated in the unique SCCOHT cell line, BIN-67, to provide further insight in the biology of this rare type of ovarian cancer. Method: The tumourigenic potential of BIN-67 cells was determined and the tumours formed in a xenograft model was compared to human SCCOHT. DNA sequencing, spectral karyotyping and high density SNP array analysis was performed. The sensitivity of the BIN-67 cells to standard chemotherapeutic agents and to vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and the JX-594 vaccinia virus was tested. Results: BIN-67 cells were capable of forming spheroids in hanging drop cultures. When xenografted into immunodeficient mice, BIN-67 cells developed into tumours that reflected the hypercalcemia and histology of human SCCOHT, notably intense expression of WT-1 and vimentin, and lack of expression of inhibin. Somatic mutations in TP53 and the most common activating mutations in KRAS and BRAF were not found in BIN-67 cells by DNA sequencing.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

Here, we investigated chromatin interaction dynamics, as well as alterations in cis- 1234567890():,; regulatory loci and transcriptional network in a mouse model system. Chronic consumption of a diet high in saturated fat, when compared to a diet high in carbohydrate, led to dramatic reprogramming of the liver transcriptional network. Long-range interaction of promoters with distal regulatory loci, monitored by promoter capture Hi-C, was regulated by metabolic status in distinct fashion depending on diet. Adaptation to a lipid-rich diet, mediated largely by nuclear receptors including Hnf4α, relied on activation of preformed enhancer/promoter loops. Adaptation to carbohydrate-rich diet led to activation of preformed loops and to de novo formation of new promoter/enhancer interactions. These results suggest that adapta- tion to nutritional changes and metabolic stress occurs through both de novo and pre-existing chromatin interactions which respond differently to metabolic signals. 1 Eukaryotic Transcriptional Regulation Group, Epigenetics and Stem Cell Biology Laboratory, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, USA. 2 Integrative Bioinformatics

Here we show the overexpression of micro-RNAs 132 and 212 enhances insulin secretion (IS) in response to glucose and other secretagogues including non-fuel stimuli. We determined that carnitine acyl-carnitine translocase (CACT, Slc25a20) is a direct target of these miRNAs.

ACYL-Coa THIOESTERASES- AUXILIARY ENZYMES in PEROXISOMAL LIPID METABOLISM
From the Department of Laboratory Medicine, Division of Clinical Chemistry Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden ACYL-CoA THIOESTERASES- AUXILIARY ENZYMES IN PEROXISOMAL LIPID METABOLISM Maria A. K. Westin Stockholm 2007 Published and printed by Karolinska University Press Box 200, SE-171 77 Stockholm, Sweden © Maria A. K. Westin, 2007 ISBN 978-91-7357-241-5 Dedicated to the future reader ‘En enda droppe gör havet större’ -Anonym ABSTRACT Peroxisomes are small organelles essential for life, which carry out a variety of functions mostly related to lipid metabolism, including α- and β-oxidation as well as the first steps of plasmalogen biosynthesis. Peroxisomal β-oxidation metabolizes many different lipids including very long-chain fatty acids, dicarboxylic fatty acids, branched-chain fatty acids, eicosanoids and certain xenobiotic fatty acids. This PhD project began with the identification of four novel putative peroxisomal acyl- CoA thioesterase genes, named acyl-CoA thioesterase 3-6 (Acot3-Acot6). The acyl- CoA thioesterases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs to free fatty acids and coenzyme A. The identification of these novel acyl-CoA thioesterases raised questions as to their function(s) and what the need is for so many peroxisomal acyl-CoA thioesterases. Answering these questions was therefore the aim of this project. Biochemical characterization showed that expression of all four enzymes is upregulated by peroxisome proliferators in a peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor α (PPARα) dependent manner, suggesting that they function in fatty acid metabolism. Further characterization revealed that ACOT3 and ACOT5 are a long- and a medium-chain acyl-CoA thioesterase, respectively, while ACOT4 and ACOT6 were shown to be specific enzymes catalyzing the hydrolysis of succinyl-CoA and phytanoyl-CoA/pristanoyl-CoA, respectively.
