| Abstract | Long chain acyl-CoA synthetases are essential enzymes of lipid metabolism, and have also been implicated in the cellular uptake of fatty acids. It is controversial if some or all of these enzymes have an additional function as fatty acid transporters at the plasma membrane. The most abundant acyl-CoA synthetases in adipocytes are FATP1, ACSVL4/FATP4 and ACSL1. Previous studies have suggested that they increase fatty acid uptake by direct transport across the plasma membrane. Here, we used a gain-of-function approach and established FATP1, ACSVL4/FATP4 and ACSL1 stably expressing 3T3-L1 adipocytes by retroviral transduction. All overexpressing cell lines showed increased acyl-CoA synthetase activity and fatty acid uptake. FATP1 and ACSVL4/FATP4 localized to the endoplasmic reticulum by confocal microscopy and subcellular fractionation whereas ACSL1 was found on mitochondria. Insulin increased fatty acid uptake but without changing the localization of FATP1 or ACSVL4/FATP4. We conclude that overexpressed acyl-CoA synthetases are able to facilitate fatty acid uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The intracellular localization of FATP1, ACSVL4/FATP4 and ACSL1 indicates that this is an indirect effect. We suggest that metabolic trapping is the mechanism behind the influence of acyl-CoA synthetases on cellular fatty acid uptake. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
