Structural control of chemoselectivity, stereoselectivity, and substrate specificity in membrane-bound fatty acid acetylenases and desaturases

, 2009
The FAD2-like desaturases comprise a group of membrane-bound oxygenases involved in the modification of fatty acyl groups in plants and fungi. This group includes typical oleate desaturases which introduce a \u39412 cis double bond and more unusual ...

The TaRNS4–TaPP2C10 module regulates wheat resistance to stripe rust through RNA degradation and MAPK cascades

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In wheat, phosphorylation of the S‐like RNase TaRNS4 mediated by the kinase TaRLK5 promotes its degradation of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici RNA in the apoplast, enhancing resistance to stripe rust. TaRNS4 can hijack phosphatase TaPP2C10 to relieve its dephosphorylation of TaMAPK6, thereby activating MAPK‐mediated immune responses. ABSTRACT RNase

Hybrid acyl-CoA desaturases investigated regarding structure in relation to functionality and specificity [PDF]

The use of insect sex pheromones in integrated pest management (IPM) systems offers an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. However, widespread commercial use of pheromones is limited by high production costs and environmental ...

Structure determinants for the substrate specificity of Acyl-CoA \u3949 desaturases from a marine copepod

, 2014
In contrast to soluble acyl-ACP desaturases from plants, little is known about the structure-guiding principle underlying substrate specificity and regioselectivity of membrane-bound acyl-CoA desaturases from animals, mainly due to lack of the three ...

Similarities Between the Lipid Profiles of Skin and Liver of European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) Fed Diets With Different Lipid Content

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fatty acid composition of fish is influenced by species, age, diet, and tissues, which respond differently to dietary lipids. This study examined how two commercial diets with contrasting polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) profiles, affecting eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), alter the fatty acid composition in ...

Overlooked components of lipid metabolism: Odd‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in photosynthetic microorganisms

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract This mini‐review examines odd‐carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids (odd‐PUFAs), a rare but biologically significant group of fatty acids in photosynthetic microorganisms. Odd‐PUFAs are straight‐chain fatty acids containing an odd number of carbon atoms and two or more methylene‐interrupted double bonds. They typically account for less than 1% of

Knocking Out Two Polyphenol Oxidase Genes Significantly Improves Recombinant Protein Purification in Nicotiana benthamiana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient purification remains a key technical challenge affecting the recovery efficiency of recombinant proteins in plant‐based systems. Complex metabolites, particularly polyphenols, often cause recombinant protein aggregation during purification.
