Structure and mechanism of human diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1
Nature, 2020 Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) synthesizes triacylglycerides and is required for dietary fat absorption and fat storage in humans1. DGAT1 belongs to the membrane-bound O-acyltransferase (MBOAT) superfamily, members of which are found in all ...

Crystal structure of a membrane-bound O-acyltransferase
Nature, 2018 Membrane-bound O-acyltransferases (MBOATs) are a superfamily of integral transmembrane enzymes that are found in all kingdoms of life1. In bacteria, MBOATs modify protective cell-surface polymers.

Applications and prospects of genome editing in plant fatty acid and triacylglycerol biosynthesis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Triacylglycerol (TAG), which is a neutral lipid, has a structure in which three molecules of fatty acid (FA) are ester-bonded to one molecule of glycerol. TAG is important energy source for seed germination and seedling development in plants.
