Biosynthesis and Pollen Fertility, Encodes a Very-Long-Chain Fatty Acid Condensing Enzyme
Land plants secrete a layer of wax onto their aerial surfaces that is essential for survival in a terrestrial environment. This wax is composed of long-chain, aliphatic hydrocarbons derived from very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). Using the Arabidopsis expressed sequence tag database, we have identified a gene, designated CUT1 , that encodes a VLCFA condensing enzyme required for cuticular wa...

متن کاملBiosynthesis of very long chain fatty acids by the sciatic nerve of the rabbit.
The alkanes, a new class of neurolipids, are accumulated in the brain myelin when compared to the other brain subfractions [l--4]. The role of these hydrophobic substances in the myelin formation is far from clear. It appears that alkanes are required for a correct myelination, since the remaining myelin of the Quaking mutant, which bears a defect of myelin formation, presents only 30%total alk...

15 صفحه اولThe very-long-chain fatty acid synthase is inhibited by chloroacetamides.
The first elongation step to form very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) is catalyzed by the VLCFA-synthase. CoA-activated fatty acids react with malonyl-CoA to condense a C2-unit. As shown with recombinant enzyme this reaction is specifically inhibited by chloroacetamide herbicides. The inhibition is alleviated when the inhibitor (e.g. metazachlor) is incubated together with adequate concentrati...
