Substrate specificity of Arabidopsis 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthases.

Abstract:

:The very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) incorporated into plant lipids are derived from the iterative addition of C2 units provided by malonyl-CoA to an acyl-CoA by the 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase (KCS) component of a fatty acid elongase (FAE) complex. Mining of the Arabidopsis genome sequence database revealed 20 genes with homology to seed-specific FAE1 KCS. Eight of the 20 putative KCSs were cloned, expressed in yeast, and isolated as (His)6 fusion proteins. Five of the eight (At1g71160, At1g19440, At1g07720, At5g04530, and At4g34250) had little or no activity with C16 to C20 substrates while three demonstrated activity with C16, C18, and C20 saturated acyl-CoA substrates. At1g01120 KCS (KCS1) and At2g26640 KCS had broad substrate specificities when assayed with saturated and mono-unsaturated C16 to C24 acyl-CoAs while At4g34510 KCS was specific for saturated fatty acyl-CoA substrates.

  • The eta isoform of protein kinase C inhibits UV-induced activation of caspase-3 in normal human keratinocytes.

    abstract::Protein kinase C (PKC) fulfills a central role in the decision of cell fate in keratinocytes. Both PKC delta and PKC eta induce growth inhibition and differentiation of normal human keratinocytes (NHK). Here we show that PKC delta and PKC eta play opposite roles in UVB-induced apoptosis in NHK. PKC delta enhanced UVB-...
