CLONING

Certain hypolipidemic agents ('cholesterol-lowering agents'), e.g., fibrates, and industrial plasticizers are known to activate the transcription of genes encoding proteins involved in peroxisomal beta-oxidation and to induce peroxisome proliferation in rodent hepatocytes. The molecular basis of the transcriptional response to these agents involves their interaction with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) that bind as homo- or heterodimers to a peroxisomal proliferator response element (PPRE) identified in the promoter region of several upregulated genes. As a means of identifying new genes involved in peroxisomal biogenesis and function, FitzPatrick et al. (1995) used a subtractive hybridization method to identify cDNAs that were transcriptionally activated by treatment of rats with peroxisome proliferators. They identified a novel rat liver cDNA encoding Ech1, which was induced more than 20-fold. Using rat Ech1 as probe, FitzPatrick et al. (1995) cloned ECH1 from a human retina cDNA library. The deduced 329-amino acid protein shares sequence similarity with enoyl-CoA hydratases of several species, and it has a C-terminal SKL peroxisome targeting signal. Rat and human ECH1 share 74% amino acid identity. Northern blot analysis detected a 1.4-kb transcript in all human tissues and cell lines examined, with highest expression in skeletal muscle. Epitope-tagged ECH1 was targeted to peroxisomes in transfected HEK293 cells. Filppula et al. (1998) found that rat Ech1 has an N-terminal mitochondrial targeting signal, in addition to a C-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal. Subcellular fractionation and electron microscopy of rat liver localized Ech1 to the matrix of both mitochondria and peroxisomes.

GENE FUNCTION

Using recombinant rat protein, Filppula et al. (1998) found that Ech1 did not function as an enoyl-CoA hydratase, but instead isomerized double bonds in a fatty acid substrate. With the substrate 3,5,8,11,14-eicosapentenoyl-CoA, Ech1 switched the double bonds from delta-3,5 to delta-2,4, creating a substrate for 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase (DECR1; 222745).

MAPPING

FitzPatrick et al. (1995) mapped the human ECH1 gene to chromosome 19q13.1 by Southern blot analysis of rodent/human somatic cell hybrids containing different combinations of human chromosomes followed by hybridization to high-density filter arrays of chromosome 19-specific cosmids. The human ECH1 gene was found to map to a contig 3-prime to the ryanodine receptor (RYR1; 180901). ... More on the omim web site
