Schmid, Hajime Wada, Ruth Welti, Changcheng Xu, Rémi Zallot, and John Ohlrogge *Correspondence to [email protected] Acyl lipids in Arabidopsis and all other plants have a myriad of diverse functions. These include providing the core diffu- sion barrier of the membranes that separates cells and subcellular organelles. This function alone involves more than 10 membrane lipid classes, including the phospholipids, galactolipids, and sphingolipids, and within each class the variations in acyl chain composition expand the number of structures to several hundred possible molecular species. Acyl lipids in the form of triacylglycerol account for 35% of the weight of Arabidopsis seeds and represent their major form of carbon and energy storage. A layer of cutin and cuticular waxes that restricts the loss of water and provides protection from invasions by pathogens and other stresses covers the entire aerial surface of Arabidopsis. Similar functions are provided by suberin and its associated waxes that are localized in roots, seed coats, and abscission zones and are produced in response to wounding. This chapter focuses on the metabolic pathways that are associated with the biosynthesis and degradation of the acyl lipids mentioned above. These pathways, enzymes, and genes are also presented in detail in an associated website (ARALIP: http:// aralip.plantbiology.msu.edu/). Protocols and methods used for analysis of Arabidopsis lipids are provided. Finally, a detailed summary of the composition of Arabidopsis lipids is provided in three figures and 15 tables.

Apoptosis has been reported to induce changes in the remodelling of membrane lipids; after death receptor engagement, specific changes of lipid composition occur not only at the plasma membrane, but also in intracellular membranes. This paper focuses on one important aspect of apoptotic changes in cellular lipids, namely, the redistribution of the mitochondria-specific phospholipid, cardiolipin (CL). CL predominantly resides in the inner mitochondrial membrane, even if the rapid remodelling of its acyl chains and the subsequent degradation occur in other membrane organelles.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date tfew '??7 DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT Sinapine is a bitter phenolic choline ester that is ubiquitous in crucifer seeds. It occupies about 1-4% of the dry matter of rapeseed. Elimination of sinapine from the seeds would improve the flavor, palatability and nutritional properties of rapeseed meal for its utilization as supplemental protein source for animal feed. UDP-glucose.sinapic acid glucosyltransferase (SGT; EC 2.4.1.120) is a key enzyme involved in biosynthesis of both sinapine in seed and sinapoylmalate in vegetative tissues of many members of Brassicaceae. Both esters are strongly UV-absorbing but their physiological functions in plants are unknown.

Moreover, iPLA2γ is directly stimulated by H2O2 and, hence, is activated by redox signaling or oxidative stress.

  • Monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) Interactions with Mitochondrial Membrane Proteins
    Biochemical Society Transactions (2020) 48 993–1004 https://doi.org/10.1042/BST20190932 Review Article Monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) interactions with mitochondrial membrane proteins Anna L. Duncan Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford, Oxford, U.K. Correspondence: Anna L. Duncan ([email protected]) Monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) is a three-tailed variant of cardiolipin (CL), the signature lipid of mitochondria. MLCL is not normally found in healthy tissue but accumulates in mito- chondria of people with Barth syndrome (BTHS), with an overall increase in the MLCL:CL ratio. The reason for MLCL accumulation remains to be fully understood. The effect of MLCL build-up and decreased CL content in causing the characteristics of BTHS are also unclear. In both cases, an understanding of the nature of MLCL interaction with mitochondrial proteins will be key. Recent work has shown that MLCL associates less tightly than CL with proteins in the mitochondrial inner membrane, suggesting that MLCL accumulation is a result of CL degradation, and that the lack of MLCL–protein interac- tions compromises the stability of the protein-dense mitochondrial inner membrane, leading to a decrease in optimal respiration. There is some data on MLCL–protein interac- tions for proteins involved in the respiratory chain and in apoptosis, but there remains much to be understood regarding the nature of MLCL–protein interactions. Recent devel- opments in structural, analytical and computational approaches mean that these investi- gations are now possible. Such an understanding will be key to further insights into how MLCL accumulation impacts mitochondrial membranes. In turn, these insights will help to support the development of therapies for people with BTHS and give a broader under- standing of other diseases involving defective CL content.

Running Title: Control of Arachidonic Acid Levels 1 Abstract Arachidonic acid (AA) and its oxygenated derivatives, collectively known as the eicosanoids, are key mediators of a wide variety of physiological and pathophysiological states. AA, obtained from the diet or synthesized from linoleic acid, is rapidly incorporated into cellular phospholipids by the concerted action of arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase and lysophospholipid acyl transferases. Under the appropriate conditions, AA is liberated from its phospholipid storage sites by the action of one or various phospholipase A2 enzymes. Thus, cellular availability of AA, and hence the amount of eicosanoids produced, depends on an exquisite balance between phospholipid reacylation and hydrolysis reactions. This review focus on the enzyme families that are involved in these reactions in resting and stimulated cells. Abbreviations AA, arachidonic
