Acyl-lipid metabolism.
Acyl lipids in Arabidopsis and all other plants have a myriad of diverse functions. These include providing the core diffusion barrier of the membranes that separates cells and subcellular organelles. This function alone involves more than 10 membrane lipid classes, including the phospholipids, galactolipids, and sphingolipids, and within each class the variations in acyl chain composition expa...
متن کاملHost Lipid Acyl Chains
The partition coefficient Kp was measured for a headgroup-labeled phospholipid (12:0,12:0)-N-(7-nitrobenz-2oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)-PE (12-NBD-PE), equilibrated between LUV of a series of phosphatidylcholines (PC). Fluorescence resonance energy transfer between the 12-NBD-PE and a headgroup-rhodamine-labeled PE was used to find the equilibrium concentration of the 12-NBD-PE in the different LUV. Re...
متن کاملTissue- and paralogue-specific functions of acyl-CoA-binding proteins in lipid metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans.
ACBP (acyl-CoA-binding protein) is a small primarily cytosolic protein that binds acyl-CoA esters with high specificity and affinity. ACBP has been identified in all eukaryotic species, indicating that it performs a basal cellular function. However, differential tissue expression and the existence of several ACBP paralogues in many eukaryotic species indicate that these proteins serve distinct ...
متن کاملCharacterization of an acyl-coA thioesterase that functions as a major regulator of peroxisomal lipid metabolism.
Peroxisomes function in beta-oxidation of very long and long-chain fatty acids, dicarboxylic fatty acids, bile acid intermediates, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes, pristanic acid, and xenobiotic carboxylic acids. These lipids are mainly chain-shortened for excretion as the carboxylic acids or transported to mitochondria for further metabolism. Several of these carboxylic acids are sl...
متن کاملNovel functions of acyl-CoA thioesterases and acyltransferases as auxiliary enzymes in peroxisomal lipid metabolism.
Peroxisomes are single membrane bound organelles present in almost all eukaryotic cells, and to date have been shown to contain approximately 60 identified enzymes involved in various metabolic pathways, including the oxidation of a variety of lipids. These lipids include very long-chain fatty acids, methyl branched fatty acids, prostaglandins, bile-acid precursors and xenobiotics that are eith...
