Acyltransferases Regulate Oil Quality in Camelina sativa Through Both Acyl Donor and Acyl Acceptor Specificities

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Camelina sativa is an emerging biotechnology oil crop. However, more information is needed regarding its innate lipid enzyme specificities. We have therefore characterized several triacylglycerol (TAG) producing enzymes by measuring in vitro substrate ...

Molecular species of phosphatidylcholine in abetalipoproteinemia: effect of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase and lysolecithin acyltransferase.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989
In order to study the role of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) in determining the molecular species composition of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and the specificity of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) in human plasma, we studied the PC species composition in plasma from abetalipoproteinemic (ABL) and control

The secondary structure of apolipoprotein A-I on 9.6-nm reconstituted high-density lipoprotein determined by EPR spectroscopy. [PDF]

, 2013
Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) is the major protein component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and is critical for maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis.

Identification of Three Genes Encoding for the Late Acyltransferases of Lipid A in Cronobacter sakazakii

Marine Drugs, 2013
Lipid A, the hydrophobic anchor of lipopolysaccharide, is an essential component in the outer membrane of most Gram-negative bacteria. Food-borne pathogen Cronobacter sakazakii synthesizes two lipid A species, differing by the length of the secondary ...

Structural basis for selective recognition of acyl chains by the membrane-associated acyltransferase PatA

Nature Communications, 2016
The biosynthesis of phospholipids and glycolipids are critical pathways for virtually all cell membranes. PatA is an essential membrane associated acyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of mycobacterial phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannosides (PIMs ...

Molecular and Genetic Regulation of Sensory Quality of Climacteric Fruit [PDF]

, 2004
The sensory quality of fruit has become a major criterion in making the purchasing decision by consumers. Breeding programs have mainly been directed, from the post-harvest stand point, towards improving shelf-life.

Palmitoyl acyltransferase DHHC21 mediates endothelial dysfunction in systemic inflammatory response syndrome

Nature Communications, 2016
Endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark of systemic inflammatory response underlying multiple organ failure. Here we report a novel function of DHHC-containing palmitoyl acyltransferases (PATs) in mediating endothelial inflammation.

Structure and function of lysosomal phospholipase A2 and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase

Nature Communications, 2015
Lysosomal phospholipase A2 (LPLA2) and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) belong to a structurally uncharacterized family of key lipid-metabolizing enzymes responsible for lung surfactant catabolism and for reverse cholesterol transport ...

Production of FAME biodiesel in E. coli by direct methylation with an insect enzyme. [PDF]

, 2016
Most biodiesel currently in use consists of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) produced by transesterification of plant oils with methanol. To reduce competition with food supplies, it would be desirable to directly produce biodiesel in microorganisms.

Computational Study of the Fries Rearrangement Catalyzed by Acyltransferase from Pseudomonas protegens

ChemistryOpen
The acyltransferase from Pseudomonas protegens (PpATase) catalyzes in nature the reversible transformation of monoacetylphloroglucinol to diacetylphloroglucinol and phloroglucinol.
