Efficient hepatitis C virus particle formation requires diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 [PDF]

open access: yesNature Medicine, 2010
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is closely tied to the lipid metabolism of liver cells. Here we identify the triglyceride-synthesizing enzyme diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 (DGAT1) as a key host factor for HCV infection.

Phospholipases and acyltransferases in macrophages

Klinische Wochenschrift, 1989
In 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.

Structure and Function of Carnitine Acyltransferases [PDF]

open access: possibleAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2004
Abstract: Carnitine acyltransferases catalyze the exchange of acyl groups between carnitine and coenzyme A (CoA). These enzymes include carnitine acetyltransferase (CrAT), carnitine octanoyltransferase (CrOT), and carnitine palmitoyltransferases (CPTs).

Mitochondrial acyltransferases and glycerophospholipid metabolism

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2017
Our understanding of the synthesis and remodeling of mitochondrial phospholipids remains incomplete. Two isoforms of glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT1 and 2) and two isoforms of acylglycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (AGPAT4 and 5) are located on the outer mitochondrial membrane, suggesting that both lysophosphatidic acid and phosphatidic ...

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1997
In this article the properties, assay, distribution, subcellular localization, deficiency in congenital peroxisomal disorders, purification and physiological functions of dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.42) are reviewed.

ACYL-COENZYME A:CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1997
Due to its presumed role in regulating cellular cholesterol homeostasis, and in various pathophysiological conditions, acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) has attracted much attention. Cloning the ACAT gene provides the necessary tool to advance molecular studies of this enzyme.

Lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2000
Cholesterol transport in circulation and its removal from tissues depends on the activity of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). LCAT is a soluble enzyme that converts cholesterol and phosphatidylcholines (lecithins) to cholesteryl esters and lyso-phosphatidylcholines on the surface of high-density lipoproteins.

[7] Coenzyme a-independent acyltransferase

1992
Publisher Summary This chapter describes coenzyme A-independent acyltransferase. The coenzyme A (CoA)-independent transacylation system catalyzes the transfer of fatty acids from diradyl phospholipids to various lysophospholipids in the absence of any cofactors, differing from the CoA-dependent transacylation reaction, which requires the presence of ...
