A 10 kDa acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) from Brassica napus enhances acyl exchange between acyl-CoA and phosphatidylcholine
Download2009
Yurchenko, O. P., Stymne, S., Stahl, U., Moloney, M. M., Nykiforuk, C. L., Weselake, R. J. , Banas, A.
The gene encoding a 10-kDa acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP) from Brassica napus wasover-expressed in developing seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana. Biochemical analysis of T2andT3A. thaliana seeds revealed a significant increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids (FAs)(18:2cisD9,12and 18:3cisD9,12,15) at...

Quantitatively, nitrogen (N) has shown to be one of the most important nutrients for proper plant growth and development, and a key limiting factor in crop productivity. In the last 40 years, there has been a significant increase in the production of synthetic N-fertilizers, as well as an...

Punicic acid (PuA; 18: 3Δ 9cis,11trans,13cis ) is an unusual 18-carbon fatty acid bearing three conjugated double bonds. It has been shown to exhibit a myriad of beneficial bioactivities including anti-cancer, anti-diabetes, anti-obesity, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Pomegranate...

Diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) is an integral membrane enzyme catalyzing the final and committed step in acyl-CoA-dependent triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis. Previous metabolic control analysis showed that DGAT1 plays a substantial role in modulating the flow of carbon into seed oil...

Biogenesis of Porin of the Outer Mitochondrial Membrane Involves an Import Pathway via Receptors and the General Import Pore of the TOM Complex
Download2001
Nargang, F. E., Pfanner, N., Neupert, W., Blachly-Dyson, E., Forte, M., Krimmer, T., Ryan, M. T., Kassenbrock, K., Rapaport, D., Douglas, M. G., Meisinger, C.
Abstract: Porin, also termed the voltage-dependent anion channel, is the most abundant protein of the mitochondrial outer membrane. The process of import and assembly of the protein is known to be dependent on the surface receptor Tom20, but the requirement for other mitochondrial proteins...

Broadening of genetic diversity in spring canola (Brassica napus L.) by use of yellow sarson and Canadian spring Brassica rapa L.
DownloadFall 2015
Canada is the top producer of Brassica oilseeds [B. napus L. (n = 19, AC genome)] in the world. Genetic diversity has declined in this crop in the recent years due to use of only superior and genetically narrow gene pool in breeding. Presence of adequate genetic diversity is important for further...

Monoamine oxidase enzymes are largely involved in the catabolism of biogenic amines. Two forms of the enzyme are socumented to exist, monoamine oxidase type A and B. The B form (MAO-B) of the enzyme has been noted to possess a high affinity site for some imidazoline ligands. This site (the I2...

Castor oil contains approximately 90% ricinoleic acid (RA) which is stored mainly in the form of tri‐ricinoleic acid containing triacylglycerols (TAG). Ricinoleate is synthesized from oleate (18:1n‐9) esterified to the sn‐2 position of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) catalyzed by...
