Biosynthesis of Lipids and Hydrocarbons in Algae
Lipids function as important storage compounds to maintain cellular activities. Lipids store high reducing power and energy since those biosynthetic processes require high amount of reducing cofactors and ATP. Storage lipids do not cause any chemical effect on cellular activity such as osmolarity, pH and ion strength because of its hydrophobicity. Membrane lipids such as phospholipids, caroteno...
متن کاملCharacterization of Fatty Acid biosynthesis in isolated pea root plastids.
Fatty acid biosynthesis from Na[1-(14)C]acetate was characterized in plastids isolated from primary roots of 7-day-old germinating pea (Pisum sativum L.) seeds. Fatty acid synthesis was maximum at 82 nanomoles per hour per milligram protein in the presence of 200 micromolar acetate, 0.5 millimolar each of NADH, NADPH, and coenzyme A, 6 millimolar each of ATP and MgCl(2), 1 millimolar each of Mn...
متن کاملComplex protein targeting to dinoflagellate plastids.
Protein trafficking pathways to plastids are directed by N-terminal targeting peptides. In plants this consists of a relatively simple transit peptide, while in organisms with secondary plastids (which reside within the endomembrane system) a signal peptide is appended to the transit peptide. Despite amino acid compositional differences between organisms, often due to nucleotide biases, the fea...
متن کاملPlastid proteome prediction for diatoms and other algae with secondary plastids of the red lineage
The plastids of ecologically and economically important algae from phyla such as stramenopiles, dinoflagellates and cryptophytes were acquired via a secondary endosymbiosis and are surrounded by three or four membranes. Nuclear-encoded plastid-localized proteins contain N-terminal bipartite targeting peptides with the conserved amino acid sequence motif 'ASAFAP'. Here we identify the plastid pr...
متن کاملBiogenesis of iron-sulfur cluster proteins in plastids.
Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are co-factors of proteins that perform a number of biological roles, including electron transfer, redox and non-redox catalysis, regulation of gene expression, and as sensors within all living organisms, prokaryotes and eukaryotes. These clusters are thought to be among the oldest structures found in biological cells. In chloroplasts, Fe-S clusters play a key role i...
