Oligomerization of DHHC Protein S-Acyltransferases [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013 The formation of dimers or higher-order oligomers is a property of numerous integral membrane proteins, including ion channels, transporters, and receptors. In this study, we examined whether members of the DHHC-S-acyltransferase family oligomerize in intact cells and in vitro.

Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferases [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2009 The enzymes acyl-coenzyme A (CoA):cholesterol acyltransferases (ACATs) are membrane-bound proteins that utilize long-chain fatty acyl-CoA and cholesterol as substrates to form cholesteryl esters. In mammals, two isoenzymes, ACAT1 and ACAT2, encoded by two different genes, exist.

The Structure and Function of Acylglycerophosphate Acyltransferase 4/ Lysophosphatidic Acid Acyltransferase Delta (AGPAT4/LPAATδ) [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019 Lipid-modifying enzymes serve crucial roles in cellular processes such as signal transduction (producing lipid-derived second messengers), intracellular membrane transport (facilitating membrane remodeling needed for membrane fusion/fission), and protein clustering (organizing lipid domains as anchoring platforms).

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 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

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993 Microsomes from liver and several other tissues esterify retinol through both fatty acyl-CoA-dependent and -independent reactions. Two activities, acyl-CoA:retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) and lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) activities, have been characterized enzymatically but neither has yet been purified and characterized biochemically.

Phospholipases and acyltransferases in macrophages
Klinische Wochenschrift, 1989In contrast to many other cells, macrophages contain a phospholipase A2, which preferentially liberates arachidonic acid from the main phospholipids. In unstimulated macrophages this acylchain-specific phospholipase A2 is localized in the lipid-free cytosol and thus without function.
