Agpat6--a novel lipid biosynthetic gene required for triacylglycerol production in mammary epithelium.
In analyzing the sequence tags for mutant mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell lines in BayGenomics (a mouse gene-trapping resource), we identified a novel gene, 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase (Agpat6), with sequence similarities to previously characterized glycerolipid acyltransferases. Agpat6's closest family member is another novel gene that we have provisionally designated Agpat8. B...
متن کاملTissue-Specific Whole Transcriptome Sequencing in Castor, Directed at Understanding Triacylglycerol Lipid Biosynthetic Pathways
BACKGROUND Storage triacylglycerols in castor bean seeds are enriched in the hydroxylated fatty acid ricinoleate. Extensive tissue-specific RNA-Seq transcriptome and lipid analysis will help identify components important for its biosynthesis. METHODOLOGY/FINDINGS Storage triacylglycerols (TAGs) in the endosperm of developing castor (Ricinus communis) seeds are highly enriched in ricinoleic ac...
متن کاملTriacylglycerol synthesis in goat mammary gland
1. ATP alone had no effect on incorporation of fatty acids synthesized de novo and membrane-bound diacylglycerol into triacylglycerol. Combined addition ofATP and Mg2+ totally inhibits incorporation of fatty acids synthesized de novo and stimulated incorporation of membrane-bound diacylglycerol. 2. ATP, Mg2' and glycerol 3phosphate stimulate incorporation of fatty acids synthesized de novo into...
متن کاملTranscriptional Repressor Tbx3 Is Required for the Hormone-Sensing Cell Lineage in Mammary Epithelium
The transcriptional repressor Tbx3 is involved in lineage specification in several tissues during embryonic development. Germ-line mutations in the Tbx3 gene give rise to Ulnar-Mammary Syndrome (comprising reduced breast development) and Tbx3 is required for mammary epithelial cell identity in the embryo. Notably Tbx3 has been implicated in breast cancer, which develops in adult mammary epithel...
متن کاملDuctal barriers in mammary epithelium
Tissue barriers play an integral role in the biology and pathobiology of mammary ductal epithelium. In normal breast physiology, tight and adherens junctions undergo dynamic changes in permeability in response to hormonal and other stimuli, while several of their proteins are directly involved in mammary tumorigenesis. This review describes first the structure of mammary ductal epithelial barri...
