Characterisation of two alcohol acyltransferases from kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) reveals distinct substrate preferences. [PDF]

, 2011
Volatile esters are key compounds of kiwifruit flavour and are formed by alcohol acyltransferases that belong to the BAHD acyltransferase superfamily.

Methylation of the Gpat2 promoter regulates transient expression during mouse spermatogenesis [PDF]

, 2015
Spermatogenesis is a highly regulated process that involves both mitotic and meiotic divisions, as well as cellular differentiation to yield mature spermatozoa from undifferentiated germinal stem cells.

Acyltransferases in Protease’s Clothing [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 2000
One of the most intriguing questions in plant secondary metabolism concerns the evolution of the genes required for the rapid diversification of plant chemistry. In particular, the mechanisms are beginning to be understood by which evolution recruits primary and intermediary metabolism genes ...

The pleiotropic transcriptional regulator NlpR contributes to the modulation of nitrogen metabolism, lipogenesis and triacylglycerol accumulation in oleaginous rhodococci [PDF]

, 2017
The regulatory mechanisms involved in lipogenesis and triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation are largely unknown in oleaginous rhodococci. In this study a regulatory protein (here called NlpR: Nitrogen lipid Regulator), which contributes to the modulation of

Role of Esrrg in the Fibrate-Mediated Regulation of Lipid Metabolism Genes in Human ApoA-I Transgenic Mice [PDF]

, 2009
We have used a new ApoA-I transgenic mouse model to identify by global gene expression profiling, candidate genes that affect lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in response to fenofibrate treatment.

Expression of mouse MGAT in Arabidopsis results in increased lipid accumulation in seeds

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Worldwide demand for vegetable oil is projected to double within the next thirty years due to increasing food, fuel and industrial requirements. There is therefore great interest in metabolic engineering strategies that boost oil accumulation in plant ...

Glycine acylation and trafficking of a new class of bacterial lipoprotein by a composite secretion system

eLife, 2021
Protein acylation is critical for many cellular functions across all domains of life. In bacteria, lipoproteins have important roles in virulence and are targets for the development of antimicrobials and vaccines. Bacterial lipoproteins are secreted from
