Arabidopsis GPAT9 contributes to synthesis of intracellular glycerolipids but not surface lipids
Download2016
Jayawardhane, Kethmi, Tomasi, Pernell, Dyer, John M., Weselake, Randall J., Mietkiewska, Elzbieta, Singer, Stacy D., Chen, Guanqun
GLYCEROL-3-PHOSPHATE ACYLTRANSFERASE (GPAT) genes encode enzymes involved in glycerolipid biosynthesis in plants. Ten GPAT homologues have been identified in Arabidopsis. GPATs 4–8 have been shown to be involved in the production of extracellular lipid barrier polyesters. Recently, GPAT9 was...

Xu, Yang, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Falarz, Lucas, Jayawardhane, Kethmi, Chen, Guanqun
SUMMARY Microalgal oils in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs) are broadly used as nutritional supplements and biofuels. Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the final step of acyl-CoA-dependent biosynthesis of TAG and is considered a key target for manipulating oil production....

Physaria fendleri and Ricinus communis LCAT-like phospholipases selectively cleave hydroxy acyl chains from phosphatidylcholine

Xu, Yang, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Singer, Stacy D., Mietkiewska, Elzbieta, Greer, Michael S., Tian, Bo, Dyer, John M., Smith, Mark, Zhou, Xue-Rong, Qiu, Xiao, Weselake, Randall J., Chen, Guanqun
Producing hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs) in transgenic crops represents a promising strategy to meet our demands for specialized plant oils with industrial applications. The expression of Ricinus communis (castor) OLEATE 12-HYDROXYLASE (RcFAH12) in Arabidopsis has resulted in only...

Plant acyl-CoA:lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferases (LPCATs) have different specificities in their forward and reverse reactions
Download2013
Heinz, Ernst, Zhou, Xue-Rong, Banas, Antoni, Green, Allan, Jasieniecka, Katarzyna, Weselake, Randall, Smith, Mark A., Stymne, Sten, Bayon, Shen, Zou, Jitao, Lager, Ida, Dyer, John M., Shockey, Jay M., Yilmaz, Jenny L., Wang, Peng, Kazachkov, Michael
Acyl-CoA:lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT) enzymes have central roles in acyl editing of phosphatidylcholine (PC). Plant LPCAT genes were expressed in yeast and characterized biochemically in microsomal preparations of the cells. Specificities for different acyl-CoAs were similar...
