malfunction
mutations in the acyl-CoA oxidase genes acox-1, -2, and -3 lead to specific defects in ascaroside production
metabolism
ascaroside pheromones and beta-oxidation enzymes implicated in their biosynthesis, model for the role of specific acyl-CoA oxidase homo- and heterodimers in the biosynthetic pathway of (omega-1)-ascarosides and omega-ascarosides, overview
physiological function
Caenorhabditis elegans uses ascaroside pheromones to induce development of the stress-resistant dauer larval stage and to coordinate various behaviors. Peroxisomal beta-oxidation cycles are required for the biosynthesis of the fatty acid-derived side chains of the ascarosides. The three acyl-CoA oxidases, which catalyze the first step in these beta-oxidation cycles, form different protein homo- and heterodimers with distinct substrate preferences. When the acyl-CoA oxidases are expressed alone or in pairs and purified, the resulting acyl-CoA oxidase homo- and heterodimers display different side-chain length preferences in an in vitro activity assay. The ACOX isozymes 1, 2, and 3 are involved in the important mechanism by which Caenorhabditis elegans increases the production of the most potent dauer pheromones, those with the shortest side chains, under specific environmental conditions. An ACOX-1 homodimer controls the production of ascarosideswith side chains with nine or fewer carbons, an ACOX-1/ACOX-3 heterodimer controls the production of those with side chains with seven or fewer carbons, and an ACOX-2 homodimer controls the production of those with omega-side chains with less than five carbons.
