The structural basis for the phospholipid remodeling by lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3
Nature Communications, 2021 During phosphatidylcholine (PC) remodeling re-acylation is catalyzed by lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferases (LPCAT). Here, the authors present crystal and cryo-EM structures of chicken LPCAT3 in the apo-, acyl donor-bound and acyl receptor-bound ...

Acyltransferases in Protease’s Clothing [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2000 One of the most intriguing questions in plant secondary metabolism concerns the evolution of the genes required for the rapid diversification of plant chemistry. In particular, the mechanisms are beginning to be understood by which evolution recruits primary and intermediary metabolism genes ...

S-acylation of P2K1 mediates extracellular ATP-induced immune signaling in Arabidopsis
Nature Communications, 2021 S-acylation is a reversible protein post-translational modification that often regulates protein function at the plasma membrane. Here the authors show that an Arabidopsis extracellular ATP receptor P2K1 mediates phosphorylation of two S-acyltransferases
