Tackling functional redundancy of Arabidopsis fatty acid elongase complexes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) are precursors for various lipids playing important physiological and structural roles in plants. Throughout plant tissues, VLCFA are present in multiple lipid classes essential for membrane homeostasis, and also ...

Paving the Way for Plant‐Based Bioproduction of (Z)‐13‐Octadecenoic Moth Pheromone Compounds [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5554-5569, October 2026.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 ...

Enzymes enabling the biosynthesis of various C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids in a sea urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus [PDF]
Open BiologySea urchins, integral to marine ecosystems and valued as a delicacy in Asia and Europe, contain physiologically important long-chain (>C20) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in their gonads, including arachidonic acid (ARA, 20:4n-6), eicosapentaenoic ...

Dual Fatty Acid Elongase Complex Interactions in Arabidopsis
, 2015 Very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are required for the synthesis of triacylglycerols, waxes, phospholipids and sphingolipids. Fatty acyl chain length is essential for plant development in particular for membrane trafficking during cell division and cell differentiation [1–3].

ELOVL5 Is a Critical and Targetable Fatty Acid Elongase in Prostate Cancer [PDF]
Cancer Research, 2021 Abstract The androgen receptor (AR) is the key oncogenic driver of prostate cancer, and despite implementation of novel AR targeting therapies, outcomes for metastatic disease remain dismal. There is an urgent need to better understand androgen-regulated cellular processes to more effectively ...

Fatty Acid Synthesis by Elongases in Trypanosomes [PDF]
Cell, 2006 All eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms are thought to synthesize fatty acids using a type I or type II synthase. In addition, eukaryotes extend pre-existing long chain fatty acids using microsomal elongases (ELOs). We have found that Trypanosoma brucei, a eukaryotic human parasite that causes sleeping sickness, uses three elongases instead of type I ...
