Nature of the reaction product of [1-14C]stearoyl-CoA elongation by etiolated leek seeding microsomes. 1985

R Lessire, and H Juguelin, and P Moreau, and C Cassagne

The elongation of [1-14C]stearoyl-CoA by microsomes from etiolated leek seedlings, in the presence of malonyl-CoA and NADPH, has been studied at different substrate and enzyme concentrations. The HPTLC analysis of the whole reaction mixture, followed by the analysis of the label in the fatty acid methyl esters of long-chain acyl-CoAs, phosphatidylcholine (PC), and neutral lipids, showed that the acyl-CoA fraction contained most of the labeled very-long-chain fatty acids. The very-long-chain fatty acids were rapidly formed and released from the elongase(s) as acyl-CoAs. The label of long-chain acyl-CoAs increased for 20 min and then decreased, whereas it increased in PC. Labeled very-long-chain fatty acids appeared in the neutral lipid + free fatty acid fraction after a 20-min lag.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction. (Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990; from Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed) Microsome
D010944 Plants Multicellular, eukaryotic life forms of kingdom Plantae. Plants acquired chloroplasts by direct endosymbiosis of CYANOBACTERIA. They are characterized by a mainly photosynthetic mode of nutrition; essentially unlimited growth at localized regions of cell divisions (MERISTEMS); cellulose within cells providing rigidity; the absence of organs of locomotion; absence of nervous and sensory systems; and an alternation of haploid and diploid generations. It is a non-taxonomical term most often referring to LAND PLANTS. In broad sense it includes RHODOPHYTA and GLAUCOPHYTA along with VIRIDIPLANTAE. Plant
