Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases and metabolic syndrome: recent advances and future perspectives

Expert Reviews in Molecular Medicine, 2022
Triglycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases (GPATs) are the key enzymes in the first step of the synthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG). In mammals, there are four isoforms of GPATs. GPAT1 and GPAT2 are localised in the outer mitochondrial membrane, while GPAT3

Catalytic function, mechanism, and application of plant acyltransferases

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2021
Acyltransferases (ATs) are important tailoring enzymes that contribute to the diversity of natural products. They catalyze the transfer of acyl groups to the skeleton, which improves the lipid solubility, stability, and pharmacological activity of ...

The molecular mechanism of DHHC protein acyltransferases.

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2019
Protein S-acylation is a reversible lipidic posttranslational modification where a fatty acid chain is covalently linked to cysteine residues by a thioester linkage. A family of integral membrane enzymes known as DHHC protein acyltransferases (DHHC-PATs)

Identification of four secondary acyltransferases for lipid A biosynthesis in Vibrio parahaemolyticus

Biotechnology and applied biochemistry, 2020
In this study, four genes encoding secondary acyltransferases of lipid A in Vibrio parahaemolyticus ATCC33846 were identified. When the four genes were overexpressed in Escherichia coli MLK1067 that which produces the penta‐acylated lipid A lacking the ...

Phospholipases and acyltransferases in macrophages

Klinische Wochenschrift, 1989
In contrast to many other cells, macrophages contain a phospholipase A2, which preferentially liberates arachidonic acid from the main phospholipids. In unstimulated macrophages this acylchain-specific phospholipase A2 is localized in the lipid-free cytosol and thus without function.

Structure and Function of Carnitine Acyltransferases [PDF]

open access: possibleAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2004
Abstract: Carnitine acyltransferases catalyze the exchange of acyl groups between carnitine and coenzyme A (CoA). These enzymes include carnitine acetyltransferase (CrAT), carnitine octanoyltransferase (CrOT), and carnitine palmitoyltransferases (CPTs).

ACYL-COENZYME A:CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1997
Due to its presumed role in regulating cellular cholesterol homeostasis, and in various pathophysiological conditions, acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) has attracted much attention. Cloning the ACAT gene provides the necessary tool to advance molecular studies of this enzyme.
