In [[biochemistry]], an '''ether lipid''' refers to any [[lipid]] in which the lipid "tail" group is attached to the [[glycerol]] backbone via an [[ether|ether bond]] at any position. In contrast, conventional [[glycerophospholipid]]s and [[triglycerides]] are tri[[ester]]s.<ref name=Christie>{{cite web|url=https://lipidmaps.org/resources/lipidweb/lipidweb_html/lipids/complex/ethers/index.htm|title=Ether lipids - glyceryl ethers, plasmalogens, aldehydes, structure, biochemistry, composition and analysis | first = William | last = Christie | name-list-style = vanc | website = www.lipidmaps.org}}</ref> Structural types include: |

In an organic chemistry general sense, an [[ether]] lipid implies an ether bridge between an [[alkyl|alkyl group]] (a lipid) and an unspecified alkyl or [[aryl|aryl group]], not necessarily [[glycerol]]. If glycerol is involved, the compound is called a '''glyceryl ether''', which may take the form of an '''alkylglycerol''', an '''alkyl acyl glycerol''', or in combination with a phosphatide group, a '''phospholipid'''. |

Based on whether the sn-1 lipid is unsaturated next to the ether linkage, they can be further divided into ''alkenyl-acylphospholipids'' ("plasmenylphospholipid", 1-0-alk-1’-enyl-2-acyl-sn-glycerol) and ''alkyl-acylphospholipids'' ("plasmanylphospholipid"). This class of lipids have important roles in human cell signaling and structure.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Dean |first1=JM |last2=Lodhi |first2=IJ |title=Structural and functional roles of ether lipids. |journal=Protein & Cell |date=February 2018 |volume=9 |issue=2 |pages=196–206 |doi=10.1007/s13238-017-0423-5 |pmid=28523433|pmc=5818364 }}</ref> |

In biochemistry, an ether lipid refers to any lipid in which the lipid "tail" group is attached to the glycerol backbone via an ether bond at any position. In contrast, conventional glycerophospholipids and triglycerides are triesters.[1] Structural types include:
- Ether phospholipids: phospholipids are known to have ether-linked "tails" instead of the usual ester linkage.[1]
- Ether on sn-1, ester on sn-2: "ether lipids" in the context of bacteria and eukaryotes refer to this class of lipids. Compared to the usual 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol (DAG), the sn-1 linkage is replaced with an ester bond.[1][2][3]
Based on whether the sn-1 lipid is unsaturated next to the ether linkage, they can be further divided into alkenyl-acylphospholipids ("plasmenylphospholipid", 1-0-alk-1’-enyl-2-acyl-sn-glycerol) and alkyl-acylphospholipids ("plasmanylphospholipid"). This class of lipids have important roles in human cell signaling and structure.[4]
- Ether analogues of triglycerides: 1-alkyldiacyl-sn-glycerols (alkyldiacylglycerols) are found in significant proportions in marine animals.[5]
- Other ether lipids: a number of other lipids not belonging to any of the classes above contain the ether linkage. For example, seminolipid, a vital part of the testes and sperm cells, has a ether linkage.[1]
The term "plasmalogen" can refer to any ether lipid with a vinyl ether linkage, i.e. ones with a carbon-carbon double bond next to the ether linkage. Without specification it generally refers to alkenyl-acylphospholipids, but "neutral plasmalogens" (alkenyldiacylglycerols) and "diplasmalogens" (dialkenylphospholipids) also exist.[1] The prototypical plasmalogen is platelet-activating factor.[7]
In eukaryotes
[edit]Biosynthesis
[edit]The formation of the ether bond in mammals requires two enzymes, dihydroxyacetonephosphate acyltransferase (DHAPAT) and alkyldihydroxyacetonephosphate synthase (ADAPS), that reside in the peroxisome.[8] Accordingly, peroxisomal defects often lead to impairment of ether-lipid production.
Monoalkylglycerol ethers (MAGEs) are also generated from 2-acetyl MAGEs (precursors of PAF) by KIAA1363.
Functions
[edit]Structural
[edit]Plasmalogens as well as some 1-O-alkyl lipids are ubiquitous and sometimes major parts of the cell membranes in mammals.[9] The glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor of mammalian proteins generally consist of an 1-O-alkyl lipid.[1]
Second messenger
[edit]Differences between the catabolism of ether glycerophospholipids by specific phospholipases enzymes might be involved in the generation of lipid second messenger systems such as prostaglandins and arachidonic acid that are important in signal transduction.[10] Ether lipids can also act directly in cell signaling, as the platelet-activating factor is an ether lipid signaling molecule that is involved in leukocyte function in the mammalian immune system.[11]
Antioxidant
[edit]Another possible function of the plasmalogen ether lipids is as antioxidants, as protective effects against oxidative stress have been demonstrated in cell culture and these lipids might therefore play a role in serum lipoprotein metabolism.[12] This antioxidant activity comes from the enol ether double bond being targeted by a variety of reactive oxygen species.[13]
Synthetic ether lipid analogs
[edit]Synthetic ether lipid analogs have cytostatic and cytotoxic properties, probably by disrupting membrane structure and acting as inhibitors of enzymes within signal transmission pathways, such as protein kinase C and phospholipase C.
A toxic ether lipid analogue miltefosine has recently been introduced as an oral treatment for the tropical disease leishmaniasis, which is caused by leishmania, a protozoal parasite with a particularly high ether lipid content in its membranes.[14]
In archaea
[edit]The cell membrane of archaea consist mostly of ether phospholipids. These lipids have a flipped chirality compared to bacterial and eukaryotic membranes, a conundrum known as the "lipid divide". The "tail" groups are also not simply n-alkyl groups, but highly methylated chains made up of saturated isoprenoid units (e.g. phytanyl).[15]
Among different groups of archaea, diverse modifications on the basic archaeol backbone have emerged.
- The two tails can be linked together, forming a macrocyclic lipid.[15]
- Bipolar macrocyclic tetraether lipids (caldarchaeol), with two glycerol units connected by two C40 "tail" chains, form covalently linked 'bilayers'.[16][15]
- Some such covelant bilayers feature crosslinks between the two chains, giving an H-shaped molecule.[15]
- Crenarchaeol is a tetraether backbone with cyclopentane and cyclohexane rings on the cross-linked "tail"s.[15]
- Some lipids replace the glycerol backbone with four-carbon polyols (tetriols).[15]
In bacteria
[edit]Ether phospholipids are major parts of the cell membrane in anaerobic bacteria.[1] These lipids can be variously 1-O-alkyl, 2-O-alkyl, or 1,2-O-dialkyl. Some groups have, like archaea, evolved tetraether lipids.[17]
In prokaryotes
[edit]Some ether lipids found in marine animals are S-batyl alcohol, S-chimyl alcohol, and S-selachyl alcohol.
