AbstractExogenous metabolites from microbial and dietary origins have profound effects on host metabolism. Here, we report that a sub-population of lipid droplets (LDs), which are conserved organelles for fat storage, is defined by metabolites-driven targeting of theC. elegansseipin ortholog, SEIP-1. Loss of SEIP-1 function reduced the size of a subset of LDs while over-expression of SEIP-1 had the opposite effect. Ultrastructural analysis revealed SEIP-1 enrichment in an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) subdomain, which co-purified with LDs. Analyses ofC. elegansand bacterial genetic mutants indicated a requirement of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and microbial cyclopropane fatty acids (CFAs) for SEIP-1 enrichment, as confirmed by dietary supplementation experiments. In mammalian cells, heterologous expression of SEIP-1 promoted lipid droplet expansion from ER subdomains in a conserved manner. Our results suggest that microbial and polyunsaturated fatty acids serve unexpected roles in regulating cellular fat storage by enforcing LD diversity.

Oxylipins are formed in-vivo from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). A large structural variety of compounds is grouped under the term oxylipins, which differ from their formation mechanism (involving enzymes or not), as well as their chemical structures (cyclopentanes, tetrahydrofurans, hydroxylated-PUFA etc.). All structures of oxylipins are of great biological interests. Directly correlated to oxidative stress phenomenon, non-enzymatic oxylipins are used as systemic and/or specific biomarkers in various pathologies and more especially, they were found to have their own biological properties. Produced in-vivo as a non-separable mixture of isomers, total synthesis is a keystone to answer biological questions. In this work, we described the total synthesis of three non-enzymatic oxylipins derived from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and docosapentanoic acid (DPAn-3) using a unique and convergent synthetic strategy.
