The Enterococcus faecalis FabT Transcription Factor Regulates Fatty Acid Biosynthesis in Response to Exogeneous Fatty Acids

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The phospholipid acyl chains of Enterococcus faecalis can be derived either by de novo synthesis or by incorporation of exogenous fatty acids through the fatty acid kinase complex (Fak)-phosphate acyltransferase (PlsX) pathway.

The Mitochondrial Carnitine Acyl-carnitine Carrier (SLC25A20): Molecular Mechanisms of Transport, Role in Redox Sensing and Interaction with Drugs

Biomolecules, 2021
The SLC25A20 transporter, also known as carnitine acyl-carnitine carrier (CAC), catalyzes the transport of short, medium and long carbon chain acyl-carnitines across the mitochondrial inner membrane in exchange for carnitine.

The Nodulation Protein NodG Shows the Enzymatic Activity of an 3-Oxoacyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Reductase

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001
The acyl carrier protein NodF is required for the synthesis of unusual polyunsaturated fatty acids that confer specificity to lipochitin oligosaccharide nodulation (Nod) factors of Rhizobium leguminosarum. In this study, homogeneous NodF protein was used

High temperature during soybean seed development differentially alters lipid and protein metabolism

Plant Production Science, 2020
High temperatures during seed development can affect the seed yield and quality in many crops. Here, we analyzed how high temperature alters the main seed storage compounds (lipid and protein) in soybean. At five days after R5 stage (initial seed filling

Enhanced Rishirilide Biosynthesis by a Rare In-Cluster Phosphopantetheinyl Transferase in Streptomyces xanthophaeus

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Phosphopantetheinyl transferases (PPTases) play important roles in activating apo-acyl carrier proteins (apo-ACPs) and apo-peptidyl carrier proteins (apo-PCPs) in both primary and secondary metabolism. PPTases catalyze the posttranslational modifications

Versatility of Acyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Synthetases

Chemistry & Biology, 2014
The acyl carrier protein (ACP) requires posttranslational modification with a 4'-phosphopantetheine arm for activity, and this thiol-terminated modification carries cargo between enzymes in ACP-dependent metabolic pathways. We show that acyl-ACP synthetases (AasSs) from different organisms are able to load even, odd, and unnatural fatty acids onto E ...

Improving hydrocarbon production by engineering cyanobacterial acyl-(acyl carrier protein) reductase

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019
Background Acyl-(acyl carrier protein (ACP)) reductase (AAR) is a key enzyme for hydrocarbon biosynthesis in cyanobacteria, reducing fatty acyl-ACPs to aldehydes, which are then converted into hydrocarbons by aldehyde-deformylating oxygenase (ADO ...

ACBP and cholesterol differentially alter fatty acyl CoA utilization by microsomal ACAT

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
Microsomal acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (AC57) is stimulated in vitro and/or in intact cells by proteins that bind and transfer both substrates, cholesterol, and fatty acyl CoA.

Structural insights into catalytic mechanism and product delivery of cyanobacterial acyl-acyl carrier protein reductase

Nature Communications, 2020
Acyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (AAR) and aldehyde deformylating oxygenase (ADO) are the two enzymes in a cyanobacterial alkane biosynthesis pathway that is of interest for biofuel production.

Morphing Natural Product Platensimycin via Heck, Sonogashira, and One-Pot Sonogashira/Cycloaddition Reactions to Produce Antibiotics with In Vivo Activity

Antibiotics, 2022
Type II fatty acid synthases are promising drug targets against major bacterial pathogens. Platensimycin (PTM) is a potent inhibitor against β-ketoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] synthase II (FabF) and β-ketoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] synthase I (FabB ...
