Discovery of Anthocyanin Acyltransferase1 (AAT1) in Maize Using Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS)
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018 The reduced acylation phenotype describes the inability of certain accessions of maize (Zea mays [L.]) to produce significant amounts of acylated anthocyanins, which are typically the most abundant pigments.

Function of Protein S-Palmitoylation in Immunity and Immune-Related Diseases
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Protein S-palmitoylation is a covalent and reversible lipid modification that specifically targets cysteine residues within many eukaryotic proteins. In mammalian cells, the ubiquitous palmitoyltransferases (PATs) and serine hydrolases, including acyl ...

Assaying protein palmitoylation in plants
Plant Methods, 2008 Background Protein S-acylation (also known as palmitoylation) is the reversible post-translational addition of acyl lipids to cysteine residues in proteins through a thioester bond. It allows strong association with membranes.

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 ...

Chiral isothiourea-catalyzed kinetic resolution of 4-hydroxy[2.2]paracyclophane
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2021 We herein report a method for the kinetic resolution of racemic 4-hydroxy[2.2]paracyclophane by means of a chiral isothiourea-catalyzed acylation with isobutyric anhydride.

Palmitoylation as a Key Regulator of Ras Localization and Function
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 Ras proteins require membrane association for proper function. This process is tightly regulated by reversible palmitoylation that controls not only the distribution over different subcellular compartments but also Ras compartmentalization within ...

Sustainable Catalyst‐Free PLG Networks: Recyclability, Biodegradability, and Functional Performance
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A catalyst‐additive free covalent adaptable network is developed from star‐shaped poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) cross‐linked with pyromellitic dianhydride, enabling internal carboxylic acid‐driven transesterification. The resulting biodegradable network exhibits mechanical robustness (Young's modulus ≈1.6 GPa), complete recyclability, rapid biodegradation
