Relative rates of hydrolysis by rat pancreatic lipase of esters of C2-C18 fatty acids with C1-C18 primary n-alcohols

Relative rates of hydrolysis by rat pancreatic lipase of esters of C2-C18 fatty acids with C1-C18 primary n-alcohols.

The rate at which rat pancreatic lipase (glycerol-ester hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) hydrolyzes the esters of primary n-alcohols containing from 1 to 18 carbon atoms with fatty acids containing from 2 to 18 carbon atoms was determined. The speed of hydrolysis was influenced, apparently independently, by both the acyl and the alkyl chains. With respect to the fatty acid moiety, the esters of dodecanoi...

The separation of the C12-C18 fatty acids by reversed-phase partition chromatography.

Formation of extracellular C14-C18 2-D-hydroxy fatty acids by species of Saccharomycopsis.

Eighteen of 19 strains of Saccharomycopsis fibuligera and one of two strains of S. capsularis produced mixtures of C(14)-C(18) 2-D-hydroxy acids in liquid culture medium. The mixture of these acids showed antimicrobial activity against Vibrio tyrogenus but not against the other microorganisms tested. Candida lactosa, a recently described species, was shown to be an isolates of S. fibuligera.

Identification and expression of a rat fatty acid elongase involved in the biosynthesis of C18 fatty acids.

A major part of the palmitic acid (C16:0) generated by fatty acid synthase is converted into stearic acid (C18:0) via carbon chain elongation. Here, we describe the cloning and expression of a rat hepatic enzyme, rELO2, responsible for the elongation of C16:0, presumably at the condensing reaction. Heterologous expression experiments in a yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, demonstrated the elonga...
