metabolism | the enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of glycerolipids in Cyanothece sp. PCC 8801, overview | Rippkaea orientalis |
physiological function | the high content of 14:0 in Cyanothece sp. PCC 8801 might be a result of the high specificity of the 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase activity toward the 14:0-acyl-carrier protein. The 14:0 fatty acid is esterified primarily to the sn-2 position of the glycerol moiety of glycerolipids. This characteristic is unique because, in most of the cyanobacterial strains, the sn-2 position is esterified exclusively with C16 fatty acids, generally 16:0. The enzyme from Cyanothece sp. PCC 8801 transfers an acyl group from acyl-acyl-carrier protein (acyl-ACP) to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) for the synthesis of phosphatidic acid (PA), a precursor of glycerolipids. Fatty acid analysis of total glycerolipids in Cyanothece sp. PCC 8801 reveals that myristic acid (14:0) and linoleic acid [18:2(9,12)] are the two major fatty acids, with minor contributions from palmitic acid (16:0), palmitoleic acid [16:1(9)], stearic acid (18:0), and oleic acid [18:1(9)], overview | Rippkaea orientalis |
