PPT1‐mediated plastidic phosphoenolpyruvate import enhances fatty acid biosynthesis in sugar‐rich tissues

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3900-3913, June 2026.
Summary Metabolic engineering of vegetative tissues for lipid production holds transformative potential for sustainable biofuels, yet achieving sufficient yields remains challenging. Here, we present a strategy to enhance fatty acid synthesis by redirecting cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) into plastids through overexpression of the plastidial ...

Chloroplast glycerolipid metabolism during maintenance and under stress

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 5, June 2026.
SUMMARY Chloroplasts are the defining organelles in green plant tissues, converting light into chemical energy with the help of an intricate and extensive membrane system, the thylakoids. In the process, they release oxygen and assimilate carbon and other elements into molecules that constitute a plant cell's building blocks.

Dual Knockout Models of the Spatially and Functionally Conserved rgra and rgrb Zebrafish Genes Reveal the Requirement of RGR for the Integrity of Cone‐Mediated Photopic Vision, the Photopic Visual Cycle and Bruch's Membrane Morphology

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 10, 31 May 2026.
This study investigates the role of the vision gene RGR using novel dual knockout zebrafish models. The loss of rgra and rgrb results in zebrafish larvae having reduced visual function and altered retinoid profiles under light but not dark conditions. The OKR phenotype is enhanced under higher light intensities.

High Relevance of Fatty Acid Oxidation in a Migrating Mammal, the Nathusius' Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus nathusii)

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 10, 31 May 2026.
Bats can sustain powered flight, but their reliance on fatty acid oxidation may limit long‐distance migration compared to birds. Using untargeted metabolomics, we analyzed blood metabolites of Nathusius' pipistrelle under controlled flight and migratory field conditions to identify fuel use.

Engineering an Acyl‐CoA Ligase With Enhanced Activity Toward Synthetic CoA Alternatives

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 10, 27 May 2026.
Engineering an acyl‐CoA ligase shifts thiol specificity toward inexpensive synthetic thiols such as N‐acetylcysteamine (SNAC), enabling enzymatic generation of acyl‐SNAC starter units that support polyketide biosynthesis. Fatty acyl‐coenzyme A (CoA) thioesters are indispensable intermediates in primary metabolism and essential building blocks for ...
