Characterization of the diversification of phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferases in the green lineage
Download2020-06-15
Falarz, Lucas J., Xu, Yang, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Garroway, Colin J., Singer, Stacy D., Chen, Guanqun
Triacylglycerols have important physiological roles in photosynthetic organisms, and are widely used as food, feed and industrial materials in our daily life. Phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT) is the pivotal enzyme catalyzing the acyl‐CoA‐independent biosynthesis of...

Evolutionary and biochemical characterization of a Chromochloris zofingiensis MBOAT with wax synthase and DGAT activity

Xu, Yang, Pan, Xue, Lu, Junhao, Wang, Juli, Shan, Qiyuan, Stout, Jake, Chen, Guanqun
Abstract: Wax synthase (WS) catalyzes the last step in wax ester biosynthesis in green plants. Two unrelated subfamilies of WS including the bifunctional acyltransferase and plant-like WS have been reported, but the latter is largely uncharacterized in microalgae. Here, we functionally...
