Glycerophosphate/Acylglycerophosphate Acyltransferases [PDF]

Biology, 2014
Acyl-CoA:glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) and acyl-CoA: 1-acyl-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (AGPAT) are involved in the de novo synthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG) and glycerophospholipids.

Evolutionary Reprogramming of Acyltransferase Domains in Polyene Macrolide Pathways [PDF]

Microorganisms
The evolution of type I polyketide synthase (T1PKS) assembly lines remains poorly understood. Through systematic mining of polyene biosynthetic gene clusters, we identified a novel eurocidin biosynthetic pathway capable of producing identical compounds ...

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.

Isolation and Functional Analysis of Genes Involved in Polyacylated Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Blue Senecio cruentus

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Polyacylated anthocyanins with multiple glycosyl and aromatic acyl groups tend to make flowers display bright and stable blue colours. However, there are few studies on the isolation and functional characterization of genes involved in the polyacylated ...

Functional Characterization of an Anthocyanin Dimalonyltransferase in Maize

Molecules, 2021
Anthocyanins are pigments with appealing hues that are currently being used as sources of natural colorants. The interaction of acylation on the stability of anthocyanin molecules has long been known.

Impact of Phosphate Availability on Membrane Lipid Content of the Model Strains, Streptomyces lividans and Streptomyces coelicolor

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
In this issue we demonstrated that the phospholipid content of Streptomyces lividans varies greatly with Pi availability being was much lower in Pi limitation than in Pi proficiency whereas that of Streptomyces coelicolor varied little with Pi ...

Structural identification of catalytic His158 of PtMAC2p from Pseudozyma tsukubaensis, an acyltransferase involved in mannosylerythritol lipids formation

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs) are extracellular glycolipids produced by the basidiomycetous yeast strains. MELs consist of the disaccharide mannosylerythritol, which is acylated with fatty acids and acetylated at the mannose moiety.

Acyl-CoA:Lysophospholipid Acyltransferases [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009
Cell membranes contain several classes of glycerophospholipids, which have numerous structural and functional roles in the cells. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, including arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, are located at the sn-2 (but not sn-1)-position of glycerophospholipids in an asymmetrical manner.
