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. Many enzymes belonging to the GPAT/AGPAT family have recently been identified and their physiological or pathophysiological roles have been ...

Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1979 1. 1. The specific activity of lysolecithin acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.23) in sonicated adult rat lung alveolar type II epithelial cells, measured either alone or in combination with acyl-CoA synthetase (EC 6.2.1.3), was found to be an order of magnitude ...

Does microsomal glycerophosphate acyltransferase also catalyze the acylation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate? [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1984 Rat liver microsomal dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase, in contrast to the glycerophosphate acyltransferase, was found to be active at low pH (5.5), stable towards heat (55 [deg]C, 15 min) and trypsin (in the absence of detergents) and was not ...

The plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase reaction
Journal of Lipid Research, 1968 Evidence for the existence of a plasma lecithin : cholesterol acyltransferase is reviewed with emphasis not only on the lipid reactants, but also on the lipoprotein "substrates" and "products." The cholesteryl esters of all major lipoprotein classes become labeled when plasma is incubated with cholesterol-(14)C. However, the smaller, lecithin-rich high

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.

Acyltransferases in Bacteria [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2013 SUMMARY Long-chain-length hydrophobic acyl residues play a vital role in a multitude of essential biological structures and processes. They build the inner hydrophobic layers of biological membranes, are converted to intracellular storage compounds, and are used to modify protein properties or function as membrane anchors, to name only a few ...

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.
