Enzymatic Desaturation of Stearyl Acyl Carrier Protein [PDF]
Abstract Stearyl acyl carrier protein, chemically prepared from 1-14C stearic acid and Escherichia coli acyl carrier protein, is desaturated to oleic acid by extracts of photoauxotrophic Euglena gracilis and of spinach. The soluble stearyl acyl carrier protein desaturase system from Euglena has been separated into three components, a reduced ...

Acyl carrier proteins (ACPs) are a group of small acidic proteins functioning as important cofactors in the de novo synthesis of fatty acids. In Arabidopsis, ACPs are encoded by a small gene family comprising five plastid members, AtACP1 to AtACP5, and ...

Differential Effects of the Hormonal and Copper Intrauterine Device on the Endometrial Transcriptome. [PDF]
The contraceptive effectiveness of intrauterine devices (IUDs) has been attributed in part to a foreign body reaction in the endometrium. We performed this study to better understand mechanisms of action of contraceptives of by studying their effects on ...

A rhodanine agent active against non-replicating intracellular Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Antibiotic therapy targeting chronic mycobacterial disease is often ineffective due to problems with the emergence of drug resistance and non-replicating persistent intracellular antibiotic resistant phenotypes.

Two enzymatic activities, 2-acylglycerolphosphoethanolamine (2-acyl-GPE) acyltransferase and acyl-acyl carrier protein (acyl-ACP) synthetase, were solubilized and purified from Escherichia coli membranes. Electrophoretic analysis of the final product of the purification procedure revealed a single protein species with an apparent molecular mass of 27 ...

Evolutionary significance of self‐acylation property in acyl carrier proteins [PDF]
AbstractAcyl carrier protein is an integral component of many cellular metabolic processes. A number of studies have reported self‐acylation behavior in acyl carrier proteins. Although ACPs exhibit high levels of similarity in their primary and tertiary structures, self‐acylation behavior is restricted to only some ACPs that can be classified into two ...

Biosynthesis of thiocarboxylic acid-containing natural products. [PDF]
Thiocarboxylic acid-containing natural products are rare and their biosynthesis and biological significance remain unknown. Thioplatensimycin (thioPTM) and thioplatencin (thioPTN), thiocarboxylic acid congeners of the antibacterial natural products ...

A Receptor Component of the Chloroplast Protein Translocation Machinery [PDF]
The chloroplast outer envelope protein OEP86 functions as a receptor in precursor protein translocation into chloroplasts. Sequence analysis suggests that the precursor of OEP86 is directed to the chloroplast outer envelope by a cleavable, negatively ...
