Charakterisierung von Acyl-CoA-Reduktasen
cDNA sequences encoding fatty acyl-CoA reductases were cloned from the uropygial glands of barn owl (Tyto alba), domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) and domestic goose (Anser anser domesticus). Heterologous expression studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed that they encode membrane …

Expression und Funktion der Acyl-CoA-Synthetase 5 in der humanen Epidermis
… ceramides have been described in this context. Acyl-CoA is involved in different interconnected metabolic pathways, so enzymes with an acyl-CoA-synthetase activity are of great importance within skin lipid metabolism as shown by the example of FATP4 deficient mice. Up to now, there is only few …

Characterization and Heterologous Expression of Recombinant Drosophila melanogaster Fatty Acyl CoA Reductase
Insect genomes have multiple fatty acyl CoA reductases (FARs), which implies varying substrate and product profiles. However, very few of these FARs have been characterized. Expression of the FAR CG18031 from Drosophila melanogaster in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf)9 cells will allow for functional …

Determining biological roles of four unique Vernicia fordii acyl-CoA Binding Proteins
… the knowledge of its processes. Four unique tung acyl-CoA binding proteins, VfACBP3a, VfACBP3b, VfACBP4, and VfACBP6 were identified and the genes encoding them were cloned and analyzed to determine their biological roles. The VfACBPs were observed to be similar to other organisms' ACBPs, …

Assessing Nutrient Composition of Skimmed Human Milk for Treatment of Chylothorax and Very Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency Patients
<p>Very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency is an inherited autosomal recessive metabolic disorder of fatty acid oxidation, and chylothorax is a condition where chyle accumulates in the chest cavity; both conditions require fat restriction as a treatment. Human milk feeding is …

Cholesterinmetabolismus in Toxoplasma gondii : Klonierung und Nachweis der Funktion eines Acyl-CoA: Cholesterin Acyltransferase aehnlichen Enzyms - ein neuer Angriffspunkt fuer pharmakologische Intervention
Ich praesentiere hier die Klonierung und Funktion eines ACAT-aehnlichen Enzyms von Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii), das lebensnotwendig fuer T. gondii zu sein scheint. Medikamente, die gegen die menschliche ACAT gerichtet sind, erhoehen in geringen Konzentrationen die ACAT-Aktivitaet von T. gondii. …

Untersuchungen zum Fettsäuretransport durch zelluläre und peroxisomale Membranen
… Arbeit sind wir der Frage nachgegangen, ob Acyl-CoA-Synthetasen am Fettsäuretransport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae beteiligt sind. In früheren Studien konnten wir zeigen, dass die kombinierte Deletion der Acyl-CoA-Synthetasen FAA1 und FAA4 in YB332 zu einem Fettsäuresekretions-Phänotyp führt, …

The Epidemiology and Health System Impact of Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency Among Affected Children and Those with False Positive Newborn Screening Results in Ontario, Canada
… and health system impact of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) in Ontario. Methods: Following a review of methods to estimating robust health event rates for small populations, this study described health services use among infants diagnosed with MCADD or received a …

Structural and mechanistic investigation towards the regulation of M.tb isocitrate lyase
… by lipid metabolite acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and its structural analogues. The interactions between host and pathogen are important for M. tb as the bacteria may reside inside its human host for decades. Human macrophages produce itaconate as an antimicrobial metabolite. Previous studies …

Fettsäuretransport in die peroxisomale Matrix von <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>
… cerevisiae eine aktivierte Fettsäure in Form von Acyl-CoA postuliert. Andererseits sind für die weitere Metabolisierung durch ß-Oxidation die beiden peroxisomalen Acyl-CoA-Synthetasen LACS6 bzw. LACS7 notwendig. Der Transport der mit CoA aktivierten Fettsäure in die Peroxisomen und die dennoch …

Optimisation of trierucin content in oilseed rape
… have been undertaken. Co-expression of an 22:1-CoA specific lysophosphatidate acyltransferase gene with a ß-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (KCS) gene in developing seeds of HEAR plants resulted in the channeling of 22:1 into each position of the glycerol backbone but hardly improved the total 22:1 …

Interplay of DGAT1, PDAT1 and DGAT2 Enzymes in Plant Triacylglycerol Assembly
<p>Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the transesterification of fatty acid from acyl-CoA to diacylglycerol (DAG) forming triacylglycerol (TAG, a.k.a oils and fats). Most plants have at least two unrelated <em>DGAT</em> genes, <em>DGAT1</em> and <em>DGAT2.</em> Plants …

A Role for ACSBG1 in Obesity-Accelerated Breast
… this pure cancer cell population identified the acyl-CoA synthetase, Acsbg1, as robustly upregulated in cancer cells isolated from tumors in obese compared to lean animals. Overexpression of Acsbg1 in tumor cells further enhanced tumor growth in an obesity-specific manner, which required intact …

Ein neuer Syntheseweg für wertvolle Fettsäuren in Saccharomyces cerevisiae und Arabidopsis thaliana
… die Umesterung von VLCPUFA-Vorstufen zwischen an CoA gebundenen und lipidgebundenen Formen beschränkt. Dieser ineffiziente Transportprozess hatte in früheren Arbeiten zur Akkumulation von Δ6-desaturierten Fettsäuren geführt, die für weitere Syntheseschritte dann nicht mehr zur Verfügung standen. …

Characterization of ceramide synthases (Cers) in mammalian cells
… the respective Cer synthases (CerS) and fatty acyl-CoA elongases, as well as changes in the fatty acyl-CoA's of the cells. Therefore, it is clear that Cer subspecies change during embryogenesis, possibly for functionally important reasons. One CerS isoform, CerS2, was studied further because it …

Effects of carnitine on medium-chain fatty acid metabolism in newborn pigs
… we observed significant changes in free and acyl-carnitines in plasma as determined using a newly developed HPLC procedure which allows for quantification of individual carnitine esters. The most noticeably change was observed in propionyl-carnitine, which increased significantly (from 0 to …

The Role of ACAT2 in the Initiation and Treatment of Atherosclerosis
Hepatic acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase 2 (ACAT2) synthesizes cholesteryl ester (CE) from free cholesterol and fatty acyl-CoA. ACAT2 is responsible for the packaging of cholesteryl oleate (CO) into VLDL secreted from the liver and studies have shown a relationship between both ACAT2 …
