Substrate recruitment by zDHHC protein acyltransferases
Open Biology, 2021 Protein palmitoylation is the post-translational attachment of fatty acids, most commonly palmitate (C16 : 0), onto a cysteine residue of a protein. This reaction is catalysed by a family of integral membrane proteins, the zDHHC protein acyltransferases (

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.

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.
