Alkali‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Acylglycerol Estolides Exclusively from Castor Oil

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
This work advances sustainable chemistry by converting renewable castor oil into high‐performance estolides via solvent‐free, low‐energy catalysis. ABSTRACT Estolides are oligomers composed of fatty acid (FA) monomers linked through secondary ester bonds located along the mid‐chain region.

2-Bromopalmitate and 2-(2-hydroxy-5-nitro-benzylidene)-benzo[b]thiophen-3-one inhibit DHHC-mediated palmitoylation in vitros⃞

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Pharmacologic approaches to studying palmitoylation are limited by the lack of specific inhibitors. Recently, screens have revealed five chemical classes of small molecules that inhibit cellular processes associated with palmitoylation (Ducker, C. E., L.

Fatty acid mobilization from adipose tissue is mediated by CD36 posttranslational modifications and intracellular trafficking

JCI Insight, 2021
The mechanism controlling long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) mobilization from adipose tissue is not well understood. Here, we investigated how the LCFA transporter CD36 regulates this process.

Fasting and Refeeding Mediated Phospholipid Remodeling Plays an Important Role in Improving Meat Quality of Aged Laying Hens

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored fasting‐induced physiological remodeling effects on meat quality in aged laying hens. Fasting for 15 days (F15) significantly reduced abdominal fat, intermuscular fat width, subcutaneous fat thickness, and liver index versus pre‐fasting (F0) (p < 0.05), which recovered post‐refeeding.

RNA‐centric world of retroviruses: unravelling the molecular strategies of genomic RNA packaging

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retroviruses constitute a unique group of RNA viruses that have profoundly influenced both evolutionary trajectories and biomedical research. Their ability to reverse transcribe and integrate into host genomes has shaped genomic architecture across species and contributed to our understanding of oncogenes, gene regulation, and RNA biology ...

Grain setting defect1 (GSD1) function in rice depends on S-acylation and interacts with actin 1 (OsACT1) at its C-terminal

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Grain setting defect1 (GSD1), a plant-specific remorin protein specifically localized at the plasma membrane and plasmodesmata of phloem companion cells, affects grain setting in rice through regulating the transport of photoassimilates.

Synthesis and Isolation of Bismuth Scorpionate Complexes: Toward Bond Activation via Bismuth‐Ligand Cooperation

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past twenty years, main group chemistry has significantly expanded its scope to include reactivities once considered the exclusive domain of transition metals. Among the emerging concepts, element‐ligand cooperation has proven to be a powerful strategy for enabling bond activation reactions but remains relatively unexplored for ...

Synthetic Strategies for Activity‐Based Probes to Decode Ubiquitin‐Like Modifiers

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ubiquitin‐like proteins (Ubls) such as SUMO, NEDD8, ISG15, URM1, UFM1, FAT10, ATG8/ATG12, and FUBI are essential regulators of cellular homeostasis, controlling processes from protein stability and trafficking to immune signaling and autophagy.
