Two Modes of Regulation of the Fatty Acid Elongase ELOVL6 by the 3-Ketoacyl-CoA Reductase KAR in the Fatty Acid Elongation Cycle
Fatty acids (FAs) are diverse molecules, and such diversity is important for lipids to exert their functions under several environmental conditions. FA elongation occurs at the endoplasmic reticulum and produces a variety of FA species; the FA elongation cycle consists of four distinct enzyme reactions. For this cycle to be driven efficiently, there must exist coordinated regulation of protein ...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of the Arabidopsis beta-ketoacyl-coenzyme A reductase candidates of the fatty acid elongase.
In plants, very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs; >18 carbon) are precursors of sphingolipids, triacylglycerols, cuticular waxes, and suberin. VLCFAs are synthesized by a multiprotein membrane-bound fatty acid elongation system that catalyzes four successive enzymatic reactions: condensation, reduction, dehydration, and a second reduction. A bioinformatics survey of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis t...
متن کاملA jojoba beta-Ketoacyl-CoA synthase cDNA complements the canola fatty acid elongation mutation in transgenic plants.
beta-Ketoacyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthase (KCS) catalyzes the condensation of malonyl-CoA with long-chain acyl-CoA. This reaction is the initial step of the microsomal fatty acyl-CoA elongation pathway responsible for formation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs, or fatty acids with chain lengths > 18 carbons). Manipulation of this pathway is significant for agriculture, because it is the bas...
متن کاملA Jojoba P-Ketoacyl-COA Synthase cDNA Complements the Canola Fatty Acid Elongation Mutation in Transgenic Plants
p-Ketoacyl-coenzyme A (COA) synthase (KCS) catalyzes the condensation of malonyl-COA with long-chain acyl-COA. This reaction is the initial step of the microsomal fatty acyl-COA elongation pathway responsible for formation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs, or fatty acids with chain lengths >18 carbons).

متن کاملMode of Action of Herbicides Affecting Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase and Fatty Acid Biosynthesis
The mode o f action o f cyclohexane-l,3-dione-type (cycloxydim, clethodim , sethoxydim, tralkoxydim ) and aryloxyphenoxypropanoate-type herbicides (diclofop, fenoxaprop, haloxyfop, fluazifop) is sum m arized in this review. Both herbicide classes, though structurally com pletely different, specifically block the same target enzyme i.e. the plastid acetyl-CoA carboxy lase (ACC) (EC 6.4.1.2). ...
