Ankyrin is fatty acid acylated in erythrocytes. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1986
Ankyrin is a peripheral membrane protein that mediates the attachment of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton to the plasma membrane. We show that [3H]palmitic acid is incorporated into ankyrin in vivo. The majority of the 3H-labeled fatty acid is covalently bound to the polypeptide, as it cannot be removed by strong detergents or by chloroform/methanol ...

A comprehensive classification system for lipids1

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
Lipids are produced, transported, and recognized by the concerted actions of numerous enzymes, binding proteins, and receptors. A comprehensive analysis of lipid molecules, “lipidomics,” in the context of genomics and proteomics is crucial to ...

Lipidomic profiling of the developing kernel clarifies the lipid metabolism of Paeonia ostii

Scientific Reports, 2021
Lipid components in the developing kernel of Paeonia ostii were determined, and the fatty acid (FA) distributions in triacylglycerol and phospholipids were characterized. The lipids in the kernel were mainly phospholipids (43%), neutral glycerides (24%),

Myostatin Alteration in Pigs Enhances the Deposition of Long-Chain Unsaturated Fatty Acids in Subcutaneous Fat

Foods, 2022
In animals, myostatin (MSTN) is a negative regulator that inhibits muscle growth and repair. The decreased level of functional MSTN gene expression can change the amount and proportions of fats in pigs.

Fatty acylation of proteins

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Reviews on Biomembranes, 1989
The various biosynthetic modifications of proteins, as for instance the addition of oligosaccharides, phosphate groups and fatty acid chains have become an important area of study in the biomedical sciences. Especially in a time where cloned eukaryotic genes are expressed in bacterial (or other alien) systems yielding non-modified protein products for ...

Dynamic fatty acylation of p21N‐ras. [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 1987
To study the acylation of p21N-ras with palmitic acid we have used cells which express the human N-ras gene to high levels under control of the steroid-inducible MMTV--LTR promoter. Addition of [3H]palmitate to these cells resulted in detectable incorporation of label into p21N-ras within 5 min, which continued linearly for 30-60 min.

Sphingolipid profiling reveals differential functions of sphingolipid biosynthesis isozymes of Caenorhabditis elegans

Journal of Lipid Research
Multiple isozymes are encoded in the Caenorhabditis elegans genome for the various sphingolipid biosynthesis reactions, but the contributions of individual isozymes are characterized only in part. We developed a simple but effective reversed-phase liquid

Proteomic analysis of fatty-acylated proteins [PDF]

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2016
Protein fatty-acylation in eukaryotes has been associated with many fundamental biological processes. However, the diversity, abundance and regulatory mechanisms of protein fatty-acylation in vivo remain to be explored. Herein, we review the proteomic analysis of fatty-acylated proteins, with a focus on N-myristoylation and S-palmitoylation.

Identifying and characterising a plant GH1 β‐glucosidase that exhibits hydrolytic activity on N‐linked glucopyranoside

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We report the first β‐glucosidase with demonstrated hydrolytic activity on an N‐linked glycopyranoside. The enzyme, native to maize, was biochemically characterised for this novel reaction, and structural modelling of the enzyme–substrate complex revealed several clues to the underlying reduced catalytic rate relative to its native O‐glycopyranoside ...
