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...

Role of TG Lipases, Arylacetamide Deacetylase and Triacylglycerol Hydrolase, in Hepatitis C Virus Life Cycle
DownloadSpring 2013
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease, including liver steatosis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. It has become apparent that the targeting of lipid droplets (LDs) by the HCV core protein and the Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) secretory pathway...
