Structural basis for selective recognition of acyl chains by the membrane-associated acyltransferase PatA
The biosynthesis of phospholipids and glycolipids are critical pathways for virtually all cell membranes. PatA is an essential membrane associated acyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of mycobacterial phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannosides (PIMs). The enzyme transfers a palmitoyl moiety from palmitoyl-CoA to the 6-position of the mannose ring linked to 2-position of inositol in PIM1/PIM2....
متن کاملCellular pregnenolone esterification by acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase.
Pregnenolone (PREG) can be converted to PREG esters (PE) by the plasma enzyme lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), and by other enzyme(s) with unknown identity. Acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase 1 and 2 (ACAT1 and ACAT2) convert various sterols to steryl esters; their activities are activated by cholesterol. PREG is a sterol-like molecule, with 3-β-hydroxy moiety at steroid ring A, ...
متن کاملAn essential histidine residue required for fatty acylation and acyl transfer by myristoyltransferase from luminescent bacteria.
The lux-specific acyltransferases are serine esterases responsible for preferential diversion of myristic acid from fatty acid biosynthesis to the luminescent system. In contrast to other acyltransferases, an acylated enzyme intermediate can readily be detected making it ideal for the study of the mechanism of acyl transfer. Although the transferase readily cleaves acyl carrier protein and acyl...
متن کاملRetinol esterification by rat liver microsomes. Evidence for a fatty acyl coenzyme A: retinol acyltransferase.
To explore the nature of retinyl ester synthesis by liver microsomes, membranes prepared from rat or cat liver were incubated under various conditions with [3H] retinol dispersed in dimethyl sulfoxide. When [3H]retinol, buffer, and microsomes were incubated together (basal conditions), some [3H]retinol esterification was consistently observed. However, the rate of esterification could be increa...
متن کاملMammalian acyl-CoA:lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase enzymes.
The mammalian RBC lacks de novo lipid synthesis but maintains its membrane composition by rapid turnover of acyl moieties at the sn-2 position of phospholipids. Plasma-derived fatty acids are esterified to acyl-CoA by acyl-CoA synthetases and transferred to lysophospholipids by acyl-CoA:lysophospholipid acyltransferases. We report the characterization of three lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) a...
