Sibling Rivalry: How Two Proteins from a Common Ancestor Play Opposing Roles in Fatty Acid Biosynthesis[OPEN]
All plant cells contain lipids. These highly diverse hydrophobic compounds make up the bulk of the membrane and function in energystorage,protectionagainstdehydration and pathogen attack, photosynthesis, and other vital processes. In addition, plant lipids, especially seed oils, represent an important source of food and renewable energy whose biosynthesis can potentially be manipulated. Althoug...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Relationship Between Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase (SCD) Protein Sequences Involved in Fatty Acid Metabolism
Background: Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is a key enzyme that converts saturated fatty acids (SFAs) to monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) in fat biosynthesis. Despite being crucial for interpreting SCDs’ roles across species, the evolutionary relationship of SCD proteins across species has yet to be elucidated. This study aims to present this evolutionary relationship based on amino aci...
متن کاملAn ACP-independent fatty acid synthesis pathway in archaea: implications for the origin of phospholipids.
Fatty acids (FAs) are major building blocks of membrane phospholipids in bacteria and eukaryotes. Their presumed absence in archaea led to propose a late origin in bacteria and eukaryotes and that the last common ancestor of living organisms (the cenancestor) was devoid of both FA and phospholipid membranes. However, small FA amounts and homologs of bacterial FA biosynthesis enzymes are found i...
متن کاملTailoring enzymes acting on carrier protein-tethered substrates in natural product biosynthesis.
Carrier proteins (CPs) are integral components of fatty acid synthases, polyketide synthases, and nonribosomal peptide synthetases and play critical roles in the biosynthesis of fatty acids, polyketides, and nonribosomal peptides. An emerging role CPs play in natural product biosynthesis involves tailoring enzymes that act on CP-tethered substrates. These enzymes provide a new opportunity to en...
متن کاملBiosynthesis and secretion of plant cuticular wax.
The cuticle covers the aerial portions of land plants. It consists of amorphous intracuticular wax embedded in cutin polymer, and epicuticular wax crystalloids that coat the outer plant surface and impart a whitish appearance. Cuticular wax is mainly composed of long-chain aliphatic compounds derived from very long chain fatty acids. Wax biosynthesis begins with fatty acid synthesis in the plas...
