The file contains data from individual experiments used to derive the final figures for the publication "Enterocytes Rely On Purine Biosynthesis/Salvage Pathway To Facilitate Dietary Fat Absorption" published in Nature Communications (link in Related Publications.) From the abstract: Dietary fat absorption is among the most energy-demanding processes of nutrient uptake. Fatty acid activation, triglyceride synthesis, and the trafficking of chylomicrons through the secretory pathway - all require ATP. How enterocytes accommodate the surge in ATP consumption following fat uptake is unclear. We show that the purine biosynthesis/salvage pathway supplies necessary ATP and that Ankyrin Repeat Domain 9 (ANKRD9) couples ATP synthesis and lipoprotein trafficking. Ankrd9 regulates enzymes within the purine biosynthesis pathway to increase ATP synthesis and facilitate Golgi dynamics. Intracellular localization of ANKRD9 is lipid and ATP-dependent. Inactivation of Ankrd9 in mice reduces intestinal ATP despite intact mitochondrial and glycolytic function, alters Golgi morphology, delays ApoB/chylomicron trafficking, and causes lipid accumulation in enterocytes, along with a lean body phenotype. Taken together, the results reveal a previously unrecognized mechanism that regulates lipid absorption in enterocytes and identify ANKRD9 as a central component of this mechanism.
