ONION2 Fatty Acid Elongase is Required for Shoot Development in Rice [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 2012
A plant's surface is covered with epicuticular wax, which protects plants from inappropriate environmental conditions such as drought and pathogen attack. Very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are the main component of epicuticular wax on the surface of above-ground organs.

Elovl3: a model gene to dissect homeostatic links between the circadian clock and nutritional statuss⃞

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
The ELOVL3 protein is a very long-chain fatty acid elongase found in liver, skin, and brown adipose tissues. Circadian expression of the Elovl3 gene in the liver is perturbed in mutant CLOCK mice but persists in mice with severe hepatic dysfunction.

Polyketide synthase-like functionality acquired by plant fatty acid elongase. [PDF]

Sci Adv
Abstract Fatty acid elongation (FAE) typically proceeds through a four-step cycle of condensation, reduction, dehydration, and reduction to yield very long-chain fatty acids. Here, we describe a variation of this pathway in Orychophragmus limprichtianus , whose seed oil was found to

Dual fatty acid elongase complex interactions in Arabidopsis

, 2014
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].

Expression Profiling of Lipolytic and Long-Chain Fatty Acid Biosynthesis Genes in Catfish Larvae Fed With Graded Lipid Levels

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of dietary lipid levels on the mRNA transcripts of lipid metabolic regulatory genes. Nine combinations of experimental diets containing graded lipid (80, 100, and 120 g/kg) and protein (450, 500, and 550 g ...

Molecular basis for differential elongation of omega-3 docosapentaenoic acid by the rat Elovl5 and Elovl2[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2013
Functional characterization of the rat elongases, Elovl5 and Elovl2, has identified that Elovl2 is crucial for omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (22:6n-3) synthesis.

The NASA Twins Study: The Effect of One Year in Space on Long-Chain Fatty Acid Desaturases and Elongases

Lifestyle Genomics, 2020
Background: At present, there is no clear understanding of the effect of long-duration spaceflight on the major enzymes that govern the metabolism of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids.

Physiological roles of fatty acyl desaturases and elongases in marine fish: Characterisation of cDNAs of fatty acyl delta6 desaturase and elovl5 elongase of cobia (Rachycentron canadum) [PDF]

, 2009
In the present paper, we investigated the expression of fatty acyl desaturase and elongase genes in a marine teleost, cobia, a species of great interest due to its considerable aquaculture potential.

Agrobacterium-Mediated Transient Gene Expression in Developing Ricinus communis Seeds: A First Step in Making the Castor Oil Plant a Chemical Biofactory

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
The castor oil plant represents a promising platform to produce oils with industrial applications. However, its use in biotechnology is limited by the absence of a well-established procedure to transform it, and a poor understanding of gene regulation ...

Mammalian Fatty Acid Elongases [PDF]

, 2009
Very long chain fatty acids confer functional diversity on cells by variations in their chain length and degree of unsaturation. Microsomal fatty acid elongation represents the major pathway for determining the chain length of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids in cellular lipids.
