Image_4_Identification and Characterization of Sterol Acyltransferases Responsible for Steryl Ester Biosynthesis in Tomato.JPEG [PDF]
Steryl esters (SEs) serve as a storage pool of sterols that helps to maintain proper levels of free sterols (FSs) in cell membranes throughout plant growth and development, and participates in the recycling of FSs and fatty acids released from cell ...

Adaptive Genomic Divergence Across Altitudes in Capsella bursa‐pastoris
Genomic divergence was observed between high‐altitude and low‐altitude populations of Capsella bursa‐pastoris in China, consistent with an important role of ecological factors. Candidate adaptive loci associated with enhanced energy metabolism, photoprotection, and growth plasticity under altitudinal stress were identified.

The carnitine acyltransferases: modulators of acyl-CoA-dependent reactions [PDF]
Carnitine and carnitine acyltransferases were thought to be merely a mechanism for the rapid transfer of activated long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondrion for beta-oxidation [1], until enzymologists came along. By kinetic, physical and localization

Knockout studies reveal an important role of plasmodium lipoic acid protein ligase a1 for asexual blood stage parasite survival [PDF]
Lipoic acid (LA) is a dithiol-containing cofactor that is essential for the function of a-keto acid dehydrogenase complexes. LA acts as a reversible acyl group acceptor and 'swinging arm' during acyl-coenzyme A formation.

Biochemical studies on plant glycerol-3- phosphate acyltransferase [PDF]
sn-Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase [G3PAT, PlsB (E.coli), EC 2.3.1.15] is an enzyme involved in glycerolipid biosynthesis, catalysing the acylation of glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) to produce lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). Chilling tolerance in plants is

Glycerophospholipids are structural and functional components of cellular membranes as well as precursors of various lipid mediators. Using acyl-CoAs as donors, glycerophospholipids are formed by the de novo pathway (Kennedy pathway) and modified in the ...
