Biosynthesis of α-Tocopherol and Plastoquinone-9 in spinach chloroplasts [PDF]
, 1980 Prenylation and methylation reaction in al biosynthesis is localized in the envelope membranes of the chloroplasts, while PQ-9 biosynthesis takes place in the envelope membranes and also in the thylakoid membranes.

Biosynthesis of Phytosterol Esters: Identification of a Sterol O-Acyltransferase in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2007 Fatty acyl esters of phytosterols are a major form of sterol conjugates distributed in many parts of plants. In this study we report an Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) gene, AtSAT1 (At3g51970), which encodes for a novel sterol O-acyltransferase. When expressed in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), AtSAT1 mediated production of sterol esters enriched ...

7-Chlorofolipastatin, an inhibitor of sterol O-acyltransferase, produced by marine-derived Aspergillus ungui NKH-007 [PDF]
The Journal of Antibiotics, 2016 A new depsidone, named 7-chlorofolipastatin, and five known structurally related depsidones were isolated from the culture broth of the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus ungui NKM-007 by solvent extraction and HPLC using an octadecylsilyl column. The structure of 7-chlorofolipastatin was elucidated by various spectroscopic data including 1D and 2D NMR ...

The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.

An Update: Enzymatic Synthesis for Industrial Applications
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.Biocatalysis has become a sustainable and cost‐competitive alternative to established chemical synthesis, enabling the enzyme‐based production of not only commodity chemicals but (non‐natural) amino acids, (rare) sugars, as well as synthetic nucleotides.
