Effects of impaired steryl ester biosynthesis on tomato growth and developmental processes
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Steryl esters (SE) are stored in cytoplasmic lipid droplets and serve as a reservoir of sterols that helps to maintain free sterols (FS) homeostasis in cell membranes throughout plant growth and development, and provides the FS needed to meet the high ...

Fatty acids of Helicobacter pylori lipoproteins CagT and Lpp20
Microbiology SpectrumBacterial lipoproteins are post-translationally modified by the addition of acyl chains that anchor the protein to bacterial membranes. This modification includes two ester-linked and one amide-linked acyl chain on lipoproteins from Gram-negative ...

The zDHHC family of S-acyltransferases [PDF]
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2015 The discovery of the zDHHC family of S-acyltransferase enzymes has been one of the major breakthroughs in the S-acylation field. Now, more than a decade since their discovery, major questions centre on profiling the substrates of individual zDHHC enzymes (there are 24 ZDHHC genes and several hundred S-acylated proteins), defining the mechanisms of ...

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.

Membrane Topology of Hedgehog Acyltransferase [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015 Hedgehog acyltransferase (Hhat) is a multipass transmembrane enzyme that mediates the covalent attachment of the 16-carbon fatty acid palmitate to the N-terminal cysteine of Sonic Hedgehog (Shh). Palmitoylation of Shh by Hhat is critical for short and long range signaling.

Palmitoylation landscapes across human cancers reveal a role of palmitoylation in tumorigenesis
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2023 Background Protein palmitoylation, which is catalyzed by palmitoyl-transferase and de-palmitoyl-transferase, plays a crucial role in various biological processes. However, the landscape and dynamics of protein palmitoylation in human cancers are not well
