The membrane fatty acid desaturase (Membrane_FADS)-like CD includes membrane FADSs, alkane hydroxylases, beta carotene ketolases (CrtW-like), hydroxylases (CrtR-like), and other related proteins. They are present in all groups of organisms with the exception of archaea. Membrane FADSs are non-heme, iron-containing, oxygen-dependent enzymes involved in regioselective introduction of double bonds in fatty acyl aliphatic chains. They play an important role in the maintenance of the proper structure and functioning of biological membranes. Alkane hydroxylases are bacterial, integral-membrane di-iron enzymes that share a requirement for iron and oxygen for activity similar to that of membrane FADSs, and are involved in the initial oxidation of inactivated alkanes. Beta-carotene ketolase and beta-carotene hydroxylase are carotenoid biosynthetic enzymes for astaxanthin and zeaxanthin, respectively. This superfamily domain has extensive hydrophobic regions that would be capable of spanning the membrane bilayer at least twice. Comparison of these sequences also reveals three regions of conserved histidine cluster motifs that contain eight histidine residues: HXXX(X)H, HXX(X)HH, and HXXHH (an additional conserved histidine residue is seen between clusters 2 and 3). Spectroscopic and genetic evidence point to a nitrogen-rich coordination environment located in the cytoplasm with as many as eight histidines coordinating the two iron ions and a carboxylate residue bridging the two metals in the Pseudomonas oleovorans alkane hydroxylase (AlkB). In addition, the eight histidine residues are reported to be catalytically essential and proposed to be the ligands for the iron atoms contained within the rat stearoyl CoA delta-9 desaturase.

The Delta4-sphingolipid Fatty Acid Desaturase (Delta4-sphingolipid-FADS)-like CD includes the integral-membrane enzymes, dihydroceramide Delta-4 desaturase, involved in the synthesis of sphingosine; and the human membrane fatty acid (lipid) desaturase (MLD), reported to modulate biosynthesis of the epidermal growth factor receptor; and other related proteins. These proteins are found in various eukaryotes including vertebrates, higher plants, and fungi. Studies show that MLD is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. As with other members of this superfamily, this domain family has extensive hydrophobic regions that would be capable of spanning the membrane bilayer at least twice. Comparison of sequences also reveals the existence of three regions of conserved histidine cluster motifs that contain eight histidine residues: HXXXH, HXXHH, and HXXHH. These histidine residues are reported to be catalytically essential and proposed to be the ligands for the iron atoms contained within the homolog, stearoyl CoA desaturase.

Fatty acid desaturase; Fatty acid desaturases are enzymes that catalyze the insertion of a double bond at the delta position of fatty acids. There seem to be two distinct families of fatty acid desaturases which do not seem to be evolutionary related: Family 1 composed of Stearoyl-CoA desaturases (SCD) and Family 2 composed of Bacterial fatty acid desaturases, Plant stearoyl-acyl-carrier-protein desaturase and Cyanobacterial DesA. Members of this entry are ER integral membrane proteins that share the same mushroom-shaped fold consisting of four transmembrane helices (TM1-TM4) which anchor them to the membrane, capped by a cytosolic domain containing a unique 9-10 histidine- coordinating di metal (di-iron) catalytic centre. The structure of mouse stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SDC) revealed that TM2 and TM4 are longer than TM1 and TM3 and protrude into the cytosolic domain, providing three of the nine histidine residues that coordinate the two metal ions, while the other histidine residues are provided by the soluble domain in this enzyme.

This CD includes the putative hydrocarbon oxygenase, MocD, a bacterial rhizopine (3-O-methyl-scyllo-inosamine, 3-O-MSI) oxygenase, and other related proteins. It has been proposed that MocD, MocE (Rieske-like ferredoxin), and MocF (ferredoxin reductase) under the regulation of MocR, act in concert to form a ferredoxin oxygenase system that demethylates 3-O-MSI to form scyllo-inosamine. This domain family appears to be structurally related to the membrane fatty acid desaturases and the alkane hydroxylases. They all share in common extensive hydrophobic regions that would be capable of spanning the membrane bilayer at least twice. Comparison of sequences also reveals the existence of three regions of conserved histidine cluster motifs that contain eight histidine residues: HXXXH, HXXHH, and HXXHH.

30-66 | 5.34e-04 | |||
The Delta6 Fatty Acid Desaturase (Delta6-FADS)-like CD includes the integral-membrane enzymes: delta-4, delta-5, delta-6, delta-8, delta-8-sphingolipid, and delta-11 desaturases found in vertebrates, higher plants, fungi, and bacteria. These desaturases are required for the synthesis of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs), which are mainly esterified into phospholipids and contribute to maintaining membrane fluidity. While HUFAs may be required for cold tolerance in bacteria, plants and fish, the primary role of HUFAs in mammals is cell signaling. These enzymes are described as front-end desaturases because they introduce a double bond between the pre-exiting double bond and the carboxyl (front) end of the fatty acid. Various substrates are involved, with both acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) and acyl-lipid desaturases present in this CD. Acyl-lipid desaturases are localized in the membranes of cyanobacterial thylakoid, plant endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and plastid; and acyl-CoA desaturases are present in ER membrane. ER-bound plant acyl-lipid desaturases and acyl-CoA desaturases require cytochrome b5 as an electron donor. Most of the eukaryotic desaturase domains have an adjacent N-terminal cytochrome b5-like domain. This domain family has extensive hydrophobic regions that would be capable of spanning the membrane bilayer at least twice. Comparison of sequences also reveals the existence of three regions of conserved histidine cluster motifs that contain the residues: HXXXH, HXX(X)HH, and Q/HXXHH. These histidine residues are reported to be catalytically essential and proposed to be the ligands for the iron atoms contained within the homolog, stearoyl CoA desaturase.

35-58 | 4.57e-03 | |||
Beta-carotene ketolase/oxygenase (CrtW, also known as CrtO), the carotenoid astaxanthin biosynthetic enzyme, initially catalyzes the addition of two keto groups to carbons C4 and C4' of beta-carotene. Carotenoids are important natural pigments produced by many microorganisms and plants. Astaxanthin is reported to be an antioxidant, an anti-cancer agent, and an immune system stimulant. A number of bacteria and green algae can convert beta-carotene into astaxanthin by using several ketocarotenoids as intermediates and CrtW and a beta-carotene hydroxylase (CrtZ). CrtW initially converts beta-carotene to canthaxanthin via echinenone, and CrtZ initially mediates the conversion of beta-carotene to zeaxanthin via beta-cryptoxanthin. After a few more intermediates are formed, CrtW and CrtZ act in combination to produce astaxanthin. Sequences of this domain family appear to be structurally related to membrane fatty acid desaturases and alkane hydroxylases. They all share in common extensive hydrophobic regions that are capable of spanning the membrane bilayer at least twice. Comparison of these sequences also reveals three regions of conserved histidine cluster motifs that contain eight histidine residues: HXXXH, HXXHH, and HXXHH.
