Fatty acid and lipoic acid biosynthesis were
investigated in plant mitochondria. Although the mitochondria lack
acetyl-CoA carboxylase, our experiments reveal that they contain the
enzymatic equipment necessary to transform malonate into the two main
building units for fatty acid synthesis: malonyl- and acetyl-acyl
carrier protein (ACP). We demonstrated, by a new method based on a
complementary use of high performance liquid chromatography and mass
spectrometry, that the soluble mitochondrial fatty-acid synthase
produces mainly three predominant acyl-ACPs as follows:
octanoyl(C8)-, hexadecanoyl(C16)-, and octadecanoyl(C18)-ACP.
Octanoate production is of primary interest since it has been
postulated long ago to be a precursor of lipoic acid. By using a
recombinant H apoprotein mutant as a potential acceptor for newly
synthesized lipoic acid, we were able to detect limited amounts of
lipoylated H protein in the presence of malonate, several sulfur
donors, and cofactors. Finally, we present a scheme outlining the new
biochemical pathway of fatty acid and lipoic acid synthesis in plant mitochondria.
