Identification of Primula fatty acid Δ6-desaturases with n-3 substrate preferences11The sequences identified in this study have been deposited in GenBank, with the accession numbers AY234124, AY234125, AY234126 and AY234127. [PDF]

, 2003
Fatty acid Δ6-desaturation, the first committed step in C20 polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis, is generally considered not to discriminate between n-3 and n-6 substrates.

A new AMPK isoform mediates glucose-restriction induced longevity non-cell autonomously by promoting membrane fluidity

Nature Communications, 2023
Although diet modulates aging, little is known about whether and how nutrient regulates longevity. Here, the authors show that glucose-restricted diets prolong longevity through series of conserved factors, such as neuronal AMPK, neuropeptide, AdipoR ...

Functional Diversity and Oleaginous Potential of Fungal Strains From Hawaiian Soil Ecosystems

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungi represent an important but underexplored resource for microbial lipid production, including nutritionally valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids. Hawaiian soils, shaped by volcanic parent materials and strong environmental gradients, provide a unique setting for discovering functionally diverse fungal strains with distinct metabolic traits.

Inventory of Fatty Acid Desaturases in the Pennate Diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Marine Drugs, 2015
The diatom Phaeodactylum is rich in very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Fatty acid (FA) synthesis, elongation, and desaturation have been studied in depth in plants including Arabidopsis, but for secondary endosymbionts the full picture ...

Membrane lipid metabolism as a regulatory frontier in neural crest biology: Roles for sphingolipids, cholesterol, and lipid rafts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are multipotent, migratory stem‐like cells essential for vertebrate development that contribute broadly to many tissues including the craniofacial skeleton, peripheral nervous system, and pigment‐producing cells. Their development progresses through phases of induction, specification, delamination, migration, and ...

Under‐Explored Species, Breeds and Cell Types With Potential for Cultivated Meat Production

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how the strategic selection of overlooked cell lines from novel species and specific agricultural breeds can help overcome current manufacturing bottlenecks in cultivated meat production. The schematic links the concept of an ‘ideal cell line’ to four key bioprocessing and product advantages that can be optimised ...

Two alternative pathways for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) biosynthesis are widespread among teleost fish

Scientific Reports, 2017
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) plays important physiological roles in vertebrates. Studies in rats and rainbow trout confirmed that DHA biosynthesis proceeds through the so-called “Sprecher pathway”, a biosynthetic process requiring a Δ6 desaturation of 24 ...

Les lipides des différentes catégories de pepins d'Ugni blanc lors de la maturité des baies

OENO One, 1982
Huit catégories de pepins d'Ugni blanc ont été séparées à la maturité. Les lipides neutres contiennent plus de 90 p. 100 des acides gras. Le nombre de pépins par baie ainsi que leur localisation dans une seule loge ou dans deux loges séparées influe sur ...

Paving the Way for Plant-Based Bioproduction of (Z)-13-Octadecenoic Moth Pheromone Compounds. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Sex pheromones are eco‐friendly agents to control pest insects. Yet, the cost of synthetic pheromone production has restricted their use essentially to high value crops. Plant‐based bioproduction of pheromone compounds offers a promising and sustainable alternative, opening up for the deployment of pheromone‐mediated pest control also in row ...
