Glycerophosphate/Acylglycerophosphate Acyltransferases [PDF]
Biology, 2014 Acyl-CoA:glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) and acyl-CoA: 1-acyl-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (AGPAT) are involved in the de novo synthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG) and glycerophospholipids.

Identification of Giardia lamblia DHHC proteins and the role of protein S-palmitoylation in the encystation process. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 Protein S-palmitoylation, a hydrophobic post-translational modification, is performed by protein acyltransferases that have a common DHHC Cys-rich domain (DHHC proteins), and provides a regulatory switch for protein membrane association. In this work, we

Molecular functional mechanisms of two alcohol acetyltransferases in Lavandula x intermedia (lavandin) [PDF]
Frontiers in ChemistryVolatile esters are key flavor components in most plants, including Lavandula x intermedia (lavandin). The final step in ester biosynthesis is catalyzed by Lavandula x intermedia alcohol acyltransferases (LiAATases), which attach alcohols to acyl groups.

Characterization of two
BMC Plant Biology, 2009 Background Two previously uncharacterized Arabidopsis genes that encode proteins with acyltransferase PlsC regions were selected for study based on their sequence similarity to a recently identified lung lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT ...

Specificity of acyl-CoA:phospholipid acyltransferases: solvent and temperature effects
Journal of Lipid Research, 1968 Acyltransfer from CoA thiol esters to either the 1- or 2-position of monoacylglycerophosphoryl choline, which is catalyzed by a microsomal preparation from rat liver, had a temperature optimum of 30-35°C.

Palmitoylation landscapes across human cancers reveal a role of palmitoylation in tumorigenesis [PDF]
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2023 Background Protein palmitoylation, which is catalyzed by palmitoyl-transferase and de-palmitoyl-transferase, plays a crucial role in various biological processes. However, the landscape and dynamics of protein palmitoylation in human cancers are not well

Acyltransferases in Bacteria [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2013 SUMMARY Long-chain-length hydrophobic acyl residues play a vital role in a multitude of essential biological structures and processes. They build the inner hydrophobic layers of biological membranes, are converted to intracellular storage compounds, and are used to modify protein properties or function as membrane anchors, to name only a few ...

The zDHHC family of S-acyltransferases [PDF]
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2015 The discovery of the zDHHC family of S-acyltransferase enzymes has been one of the major breakthroughs in the S-acylation field. Now, more than a decade since their discovery, major questions centre on profiling the substrates of individual zDHHC enzymes (there are 24 ZDHHC genes and several hundred S-acylated proteins), defining the mechanisms of ...
