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...

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...

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...

Engineering Enhanced Performance in Plant Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase and Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase
DownloadSpring 2018
Triacylglycerol (TAG) is the major storage lipid in higher plants and has great nutritional and industrial value. Plant storage lipid biosynthesis involves different subcellular compartments and a complex network of enzymes and proteins. Among them, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound diacylglycerol...

Functional and topological analysis of yeast acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2, an endoplasmic reticulum enzyme essential for triacylglycerol biosynthesis
Download2011
Siloto, Rodrigo M. P., Snyder, Crystal L., Liu, Qin, Weselake, Randall J.
Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.20) is a membrane protein present mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum. It catalyzes the final and committed step in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol, which is the principal repository of fatty acids for energy utilization and membrane...
