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

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-

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
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 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
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
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.
