Abstract: Phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) catalyzes the dephosphorylation of phosphatidic acid (PA) yielding diacylglycerol (DAG), the lipid precursor for triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis. PAP activity has a key role in the regulation of PA flux towards TAG… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The diversity of diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGATs) indicates alternative roles for these enzymes in plant metabolism besides triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis. In this work, we functionally characterized castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) DGATs assessing their subcellular… read more here.
