Plastidial ACP Δ9‐desaturase modulates EPA biosynthesis and TAG accumulation in Phaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]

, 2021
International audienceThe unicellular marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum accumulates up to 35% eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n3) and has been used as a model organism to study long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) biosynthesis due to an

MicroRNA‐Seq Analysis Reveals a Critical Role for miR‐222 in Bovine Intramuscular Adipogenesis via the DDIT4/mTORC1 Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram illustrating how miR‐222 promotes bovine intramuscular adipogenesis by targeting DDIT4 to activate the mTORC1 signaling pathway. ABSTRACT Intramuscular fat (IMF) is a key determinant of beef quality, particularly with respect to tenderness, flavor, and juiciness.

Functional Characterization of a Higher Plant Sphingolipid Δ4-Desaturase: Defining the Role of Sphingosine and Sphingosine-1-Phosphate in Arabidopsis

, 2008
The role of Δ4-unsaturated sphingolipid long-chain bases such as sphingosine was investigated in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Identification and functional characterization of the sole Arabidopsis ortholog of the sphingolipid Δ4-desaturase was ...

FADS1 FADS2 gene cluster, PUFA intake and blood lipids in children [PDF]

, 2012
Elevated cholesterol levels in children can be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in later life. In adults, it has been shown that blood lipid levels are strongly influenced by polymorphisms in the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene cluster in ...

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

Δ6 Desaturase Inhibition [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1990
The herbicide Norflurazone was shown to be an inhibitor of fatty acid of the Delta6 desaturation system. Treating cultures of the microalgae Spirulina platensis or Monodus subterraneus with this herbicide brought about a reduction in the level of gamma-linolenic acid and in an increase in the level of linoleic acid. In Monodus, the increase in linoleic

Chlorella vulgaris biorefineries: sustainable biofuels and high‐value carbon capture

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Global reliance on fossil fuels has created urgent economic and environmental challenges, yet large‐scale use of algal biomass remains limited by production costs. Industrial scaling is constrained by inefficient harvesting and the technical challenges of processing recalcitrant cell walls.

Characterization of an Omega-3 Desaturase From Phytophthora parasitica and Application for Eicosapentaenoic Acid Production in Mortierella alpina

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) have important therapeutic and nutritional benefits in humans. In the biosynthesis pathways of these LC-PUFAs, omega-3 desaturase plays a critical role.

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

Altered fatty acid composition of Nicotiana benthamiana and Nicotiana excelsior leaves under transient overexpression of the cyanobacterial desC gene

Biologia Plantarum, 2020
Transient heterologous gene expression in two model plant species, Nicotiana benthamiana and N. excelsior, has been used to study the localization of the heterologous Δ9 acyl-lipid desaturase (Δ9 desaturase) of Synechococcus vulcanus in different cell ...
