The Plant Journal, 2017 The production of renewable bioenergy will be necessary to meet rising global fossil fuel demands. Members of the marine microalgae genus Nannochloropsis produce large quantities of oils (triacylglycerols; TAGs), and this genus is regarded as one of the ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989 In order to study the role of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) in determining the molecular species composition of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and the specificity of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) in human plasma, we studied the PC species composition in plasma from abetalipoproteinemic (ABL) and control

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.Natural combinatorics: Evolutionary mixing and matching of three cyanobacterial biosynthetic gene clusters resulted in the emergence of minutumamides, a novel family of peptide‐polyketide hybrids. Retro‐evolutionary analysis led to the discovery of nostopeptolide KVJ3, an evolutionary ancestor that links nostopeptolide and minutumamide biosynthesis and

Insect Arylalkylamine N-Acyltransferases: Mechanism and Role in Fatty Acid Amide Biosynthesis
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2018 Arylalkylamine N-acyltransferases (AANATs) catalyze the formation of an N-acylamide from an acyl-CoA thioester and an amine. One well known example is the production of N-acetylserotonin from acetyl-CoA and serotonin, a reaction in the melatonin ...

The plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase reaction
Journal of Lipid Research, 1968 Evidence for the existence of a plasma lecithin : cholesterol acyltransferase is reviewed with emphasis not only on the lipid reactants, but also on the lipoprotein "substrates" and "products." The cholesteryl esters of all major lipoprotein classes become labeled when plasma is incubated with cholesterol-(14)C. However, the smaller, lecithin-rich high

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2017 BackgroundPhotosynthetic microalgae are considered a viable and sustainable resource for biofuel feedstocks, because they can produce higher biomass per land area than plants and can be grown on non-arable land.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.Malleicyprol, a virulence factor of notorious animal and human pathogens of the Burkholderia pseudomallei (BP) group, features a molecular cyclopropanol warhead linked to a reactive butenolide core. Biosynthetic considerations suggested that this heterocycle was formed by the merger of two individual polyketide chains, but the precise mechanism has ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The initial step in glycerolipid biosynthesis, especially in diverse allopolyploid crop species, is poorly understood, mainly due to the lack of an effective and convenient method for functional characterization of genes encoding glycerol-3-phosphate ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993 Microsomes from liver and several other tissues esterify retinol through both fatty acyl-CoA-dependent and -independent reactions. Two activities, acyl-CoA:retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) and lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) activities, have been characterized enzymatically but neither has yet been purified and characterized biochemically.
