MGAT2, a monoacylglycerol acyltransferase expressed in the small intestine.

Acyl CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase (MGAT) catalyzes the synthesis of diacylglycerol, a precursor of triacylglycerol. In the intestine, MGAT plays a major role in the absorption of dietary fat by catalyzing the resynthesis of triacylglycerol in enterocytes. This resynthesis is required for the assembly of lipoproteins that transport absorbed fat to other tissues. Despite intense efforts, a gene encoding an intestinal MGAT has not been found. Previously, we identified a gene encoding MGAT1, which in mice is expressed in the stomach, kidney, adipose tissue, and liver but not in the intestine. We now report the identification of homologous genes in humans and mice encoding MGAT2. Expression of the MGAT2 cDNA in either insect or mammalian cells markedly increased MGAT activity in cell membranes. MGAT activity was proportional to the level of MGAT2 protein expressed, and the amount of diacylglycerol produced depended on the concentration of MGAT substrates (fatty acyl CoA or monoacylglycerol). In humans, the MGAT2 gene is highly expressed in the small intestine, liver, stomach, kidney, colon, and white adipose tissue; in mice, it is expressed predominantly in the small intestine. The discovery of the MGAT2 gene will facilitate studies to determine the functional role of MGAT2 in fat absorption in the intestine and to determine whether blocking MGAT activity in enterocytes is a feasible approach to inhibit fat absorption and treat obesity. << Less

Synthesis of neutral ether lipid monoalkyl-diacylglycerol by lipid acyltransferases.

In mammals, ether lipids exert a wide spectrum of signaling and structural functions, such as stimulation of immune responses, anti-tumor activities, and enhancement of sperm functions. Abnormal accumulation of monoalkyl-diacylglycerol (MADAG) was found in Wolman's disease, a human genetic disorder defined by a deficiency in lysosomal acid lipase. In the current study, we found that among the nine recombinant human lipid acyltransferases examined, acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT)1, DGAT2, acyl-CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase (MGAT)2, MGAT3, acyl-CoA:wax-alcohol acyltransferase 2/MFAT, and DGAT candidate 3 were able to use 1-monoalkylglycerol (1-MAkG) as an acyl acceptor for the synthesis of monoalkyl-monoacylglycerol (MAMAG). These enzymes demonstrated different enzymatic turnover rates and relative efficiencies for the first and second acylation steps leading to the synthesis of MAMAG and MADAG, respectively. They also exhibited different degrees of substrate preference when presented with 1-monooleoylglycerol versus 1-MAkG. In CHO-K1 cells, treatment with DGAT1 selective inhibitor, XP-620, completely blocked the synthesis of MADAG, indicating that DGAT1 is the predominant enzyme responsible for the intracellular synthesis of MADAG in this model system. The levels of MADAG in the adrenal gland of DGAT1 KO mice were reduced as compared with those of the WT mice, suggesting that DGAT1 is a major enzyme for the synthesis of MADAG in this tissue. Our findings indicate that several of these lipid acyltransferases may be able to synthesize neutral ether lipids in mammals. << Less
