Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 2 is involved in seed oil production in Brassica napus

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the main composition of plant seed oil. Long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetases (LACSs) catalyze the synthesis of long-chain acyl-coenzyme A, which is one of the primary substrates for TAG synthesis.

Short-chain fatty acids activate acetyltransferase p300

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) acetate, propionate, and butyrate are produced in large quantities by the gut microbiome and contribute to a wide array of physiological processes. While the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown, many effects of SCFAs

Near-Field studies of anisotropic variations and temperature induced structural changes in a supported single lipid bilayer [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. E 101, 032416 (2020), 2016
Temperature controlled Polarization Modulation Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopy (PM-NSOM) measurements of a single supported $L_{\beta^{\prime}}$ 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) lipid bilayer are presented. The effective retardance ($\Delta S = \frac{2 \pi (n_e-n_o)t}{\lambda}$), where $t$ is the thickness of the bilayer and ...

A rapid assay of acyl-coenzyme A:lysolecithin acyltransferase activity

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1980
A simple and rapid procedure for the assay of acyl-coenzyme A:1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine acyltransferase (lysolecithin acyltransferase, LLAT [EC 2.3.1.23]) activity in crude enzyme preparations is described.

Specialized acyl carrier protein used by serine palmitoyltransferase to synthesize sphingolipids in Rhodobacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) catalyzes the first and committed step in sphingolipid biosynthesis condensating L-serine and acyl-CoA to form 3-oxo-sphinganine. Whenever the structural gene for SPT is present in genomes of Rhodobacteria (α-, β-, and γ-

Production of a Brassica napus Low-Molecular Mass Acyl-Coenzyme A-Binding Protein in Arabidopsis Alters the Acyl-Coenzyme A Pool and Acyl Composition of Oil in Seeds1[C][W][OPEN]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2014
An acyl-CoA-binding protein changes the acyl-CoA and oil composition in seeds of transgenic Arabidopsis. Low-molecular mass (10 kD) cytosolic acyl-coenzyme A-binding protein (ACBP) has a substantial influence over fatty acid (FA) composition in oilseeds,

Acylation of monolysocardiolipin in rat heart

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1999
Cardiolipin is a major mitochondrial membrane glycerophospholipid in the mammalian heart. In this study, the ability of the isolated intact rat heart to remodel cardiolipin and the mitochondrial enzyme activities that reacylate monolysocardiolipin to ...

The Acetylation Motif in AMP-Forming Acyl Coenzyme A Synthetases Contains Residues Critical for Acetylation and Recognition by the Protein Acetyltransferase Pat of Rhodopseudomonas palustris

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 2014
The AMP-forming acyl coenzyme A (acyl-CoA) synthetases are a large class of enzymes found in both anabolic and catabolic pathways that activate fatty acids to acyl-CoA molecules. The protein acetyltransferase (Pat) from Rhodopseudomonas palustris (RpPat)

Structural Basis for the Catalytic Mechanism of ATP‐Dependent Diazotase CmaA6

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
Although several diazotases have been recently reported, the details of the reaction mechanism are not yet understood. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of CmaA6, an ATP‐dependent diazotase that catalyzes the diazotization of 3‐aminocoumaric acid using nitrous acid.

Revised nomenclature for the mammalian long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase gene family

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2004
By consensus, the acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) community, with the advice of the human and mouse genome nomenclature committees, has revised the nomenclature for the mammalian long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases.
