Hentriacontanonaene

[edit]

(3Z,6Z,9Z,12Z,15Z,19Z,22Z,25Z,28Z)-hentriaconta-3,6,9,12,15,19,22,25,28-nonaene) is a long chain polyunsaturated hydrocarbon produced by numerous gamma-proteobacteria primarily from the marine environment. Hentriacontanonaene was originally isolated from bacterial isolates from Antarctic sea ice cores [1] . All isolated bacteria that produced hentriacontanonaene also produced the polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acid[1][2] . Given its polyunsaturated nature it has been proposed that this molecule is produced as part of a response to maintain optimal membrane fluidity[1] [3].

Biosynthesis

[edit]

The biosynthesis of this compound was initially identified by its similarity to other known pathways found in bacteria that produce similar long chain hydrocarbons[4]. Production of monounsaturated and tri-unsaturated long chain hydrocarbons in various microbial lineages has been attributed to the oleABCD gene cluster[3]. In this pathway two acyl-CoA or acyl-ACP are condensed using a non-decarboxylative Claisen condensation to yield a β-keto-thioester[5]. Hydrolysis from the enzyme is followed by reduction of the β-keto group to an alcohol catalyzed by an NADPH dependent reductase OleD[6]. The remaining steps include decarboxylation and dehydration, which might be combined as a single decarboxylation elimination step[6]. The exact roles of OleB and OleC in this pathway are unknown, however deletion of oleC yielded a strain that produced a mono-ketone product without the completed olefin[3].

The overall unsaturation of the compound is determined by the acyl precursors and it has been hypothesized that condensation of two 16:4(n-3) acyl chains by OleABCD yields hentriacontanonaene [3][4][2]. A polyketide-like pathway responsible for the production of eicosapentaenoic acid provides the polyunsaturated precursor for hentriacontanonaene[3].
