Abstract
Lipids metabolism is comprised of networks of reactions occurred in different subcellular compartments. Isotopic labeling is a good way to track the transformations and movements of metabolites without perturbing overall cellular metabolism. Fatty acids, the building blocks of membrane lipids and storage triacylglycerols, are synthesized in plastids. The immediate precursor for fatty acid synthesis is acetyl-CoA. Exogenous acetate is rapidly incorporated into fatty acids in leaves and isolated plastids because it can diffuse freely through cellular membranes, enter the plastid where it is rapidly metabolized to acetyl-CoA. Therefore, isotope-labeled acetate is often used as a tracer for the investigation of fatty acid synthesis and complex lipid metabolism in plants and other organisms. The basic principle of isotope labeling and its recent technological advances have been reviewed (Allen et al., 2015). The present protocol describes the use of 14C-labeled acetate to determine rates of fatty acid synthesis and degradation and to track the metabolism of glycerolipids in leaves. This method, which is often referred to as acetate pulse-chase labeling, has been widely used to probe various aspects of lipid metabolism (Allen et al., 2015), including the role of autophagy in membrane lipid turnover (Fan et al., 2019) and the interplay between lipid and starch metabolism pathways (Yu et al., 2018).
