Versatility of Acyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Synthetases
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 ...

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 ...

Synthesis of 2-Acylphenol and Flavene Derivatives from the Ruthenium-Catalyzed Oxidative C-H Acylation of Phenols with Aldehydes [PDF]
The cationic ruthenium hydride complex [(C6H6)(PCy3)(CO)RuH]+BF4− has been found to be an effective catalyst for the oxidative C–H coupling reaction of phenols with aldehydes to give 2-acylphenol compounds.

A broad inhibitor of acyl-acyl carrier protein synthetases
The acyl-acyl carrier protein synthetase enzyme enables some bacteria to scavenge free fatty acids from the environment for direct use in lipids. This fatty acid recycling pathway can help pathogens circumvent fatty acid synthase (FAS) inhibition with established antibiotics and those in clinical development.

Acylated and non-acylated anthocyanins as antibacterial and antibiofilm agents
AbstractNatural products have served as an essential source of medicinal compounds in drug discovery, with their high abundance in nature and structural complexity being beneficial for various biological activities. Anthocyanins are a natural food colourant that belongs to the flavonoid group of compounds responsible for the colour of various fruits ...
