Fat Metabolism in Higher Plants
The discovery and isolation of the multienzyme system responsible for p oxidation of fatty acids to acetyl CoA’ have stimulated investigation of the synthesis of long chain fatty acids by multiple @ condensation of the acetyl CoA. In 1953 Van Baalen and Gurin (1) were the first to demonstrate that acetate was incorporated into fatty acids by aqueous extracts of pigeon liver. In 1953 Stansly and...
متن کاملShedding light on ethylene metabolism in higher plants
Ethylene metabolism in higher plants is regulated by a wide array of endogenous and environmental factors. During most physiological processes, ethylene levels are mainly determined by a strict control of the rate-limiting biosynthetic steps responsible for the production of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and its subsequent conversion to ethylene. Responsible for these reactions, t...
متن کاملMetabolism of hydrogen cyanide by higher plants.
A survey has been made of the occurrence and distribution of three enzymes which metabolize cyanide in a variety of higher plants including both cyanogenic and non-cyanogenic species. The enzymes investigated were beta-cyanoalanine synthase, rhodanese and formamide hydrolyase. beta-Cyanoalanine synthase was found to be present in every higher plant tested whereas rhodanese was found to occur fa...
متن کاملStudies in Protein Metabolism
There is no doubt that animals can synthesize certain amino acids, the ultimate source of the nitrogen being that of the food protein. This process probably occurs under normal conditions, as the average composition of food proteins is never the same as that of the body proteins into which they have to be converted. According to the generally accepted theory, amino acid synthesis in the animal ...
متن کاملFat Metabolism in Higher Plants: LXII. Stearl-acyl Carrier Protein Desaturase from Spinach Chloroplasts.
Stearyl-acyl carrier protein desaturase (EC 1.14.99.6), present in the stroma fraction of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts, rapidly desaturated enzymatically prepared stearyl-acyl carrier protein to oleic acid. No other substrates were desaturated. In addition to stearyl-acyl carrier protein, reduced ferredoxin was an essential component of the system. The electron donor systems were ei...
