A calcium-dependent acyltransferase that produces N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamines
More than 30 years ago, a calcium-dependent enzyme activity was described that generates N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamines (NAPEs), which are precursors for N-acyl ethanolamine (NAE) lipid transmitters, including the endocannabinoid anandamide. The identity of this calcium-dependent N-acyltransferase (Ca-NAT) has remained mysterious. Here, we use activity-based protein profiling to identify the ...
متن کاملSynthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Activity Studies of Some N-Acyl-N'-aryl Thiourea Derivatives
Some N¬-acyl-N'-aryl thiourea derivatives 4(a-f) have been prepared by the reaction of acyl halides ammonium thiocyanate and aryl amines. The structures of synthesized compounds have been characterized by IR, 1HNMR spectral studies. The synthesized compounds 5(a-f) have been screened for antibacterial activity. The effect of the structure of the investigated compounds on the antibacterial activ...

متن کاملAcyl Chain-Dependent Effect of Lysophosphatidylcholine on Endothelium-Dependent Vasorelaxation
Previously we identified palmitoyl-, oleoyl-, linoleoyl-, and arachidonoyl-lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC 16:0, 18:1, 18:2 and 20:4) as the most prominent LPC species generated by endothelial lipase (EL). In the present study, we examined the impact of those LPC on acetylcholine (ACh)- induced vascular relaxation. All tested LPC attenuated ACh-induced relaxation, measured ex vivo, using mouse aor...
متن کاملRelaxed acyl chain specificity of Bordetella UDP-N-acetylglucosamine acyltransferases.
Lipid A (endotoxin) is a major structural component of Gram-negative outer membranes. It also serves as the hydrophobic anchor of lipopolysaccharide and is a potent activator of the innate immune response. Lipid A molecules from the genus Bordetella are reported to exhibit unusual structural asymmetry with respect to the acyl chains at the 3- and 3'-positions. These acyl chains are attached by ...
