Biosynthesis of phenolic lipid models using oleyl alcohol and trioleinLue, Bena-Marie January 2004 (has links)
The overall objective of this study was the optimization of a model enzymatic system in organic solvent media for the biosynthesis of selected phenolic lipid compounds. The model enzymatic system consisted of cinnamic acid and oleyl alcohol as substrates using commercial immobilized lipase (Novozym 435) from Candida antarctica. The experimental findings showed that an increase in the hydrophobicity of the solvent mixture and a decrease in the aw values of the reaction medium increased the initial enzymatic activity and bioconversion yield; the use of an iso-octane and butanone solvent mixture (85:15, v/v) and an initial aw of 0.05 resulted in an initial enzymatic activity of 192.7 nmol product/g enzyme/min and a corresponding bioconversion yield of 95.3% after a 16-day reaction period.

Glycerolipid biosynthesis in pea root plastidsXue, Lingru January 1993 (has links)
Pea root plastids were isolated by differential centrifugation and resulting crude plastid fraction was purified by centrifugation through 10%(v/v) Percoll. Marker enzymes indicated that greater than 50% of the plastids were recovered essentially free from mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum contamination. The optimum in vitro conditions for glycerolipid biosynthesis from (U-$ sp{14}$C) glycerol-3-phosphate have been determined. Total glycerolipid biosynthesis was approximately 15 nmole/hr/mg protein in the presence of 200 $ mu$M glycerol-3-phosphate, 0.5 mM each of NADH and NADPH, 15 mM KH$ sb2$CO$ sb3$, 0.05 mM CoA, and 2 mM each of ATP and MgCl$ sb2$, 100 mM Bis Tris Propane (pH 7.5) and incubated at the standard temperature of 25$ sp circ$C. ATP, Coenzyme A and a divalent cation are absolutely required for glycerolipid biosynthesis, whereas reduced nucleotides and bicarbonate improve the synthesis to varying degrees. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate had little effect, while dithiothreitol, detergent and Mn$ sp{2+}$ inhibited activity. Under the optimum conditions, isolated pea root plastids mainly synthesized approximately 15% phosphatidic acid, 16% phosphatidylcholine, 13% phosphatidylglycerol, 32% triacylglycerol. Galactolipid synthesis occurred only when UDP-galactose was supplied. Different concentrations of some cofactors resulted in alterations of glycerolipid distribution. Phospholipase A$ sb2$ and Rhizopus lipase digestions of phospholipids and neutral lipids revealed that radioactive fatty acids were preferentially esterified to position sn 2 of each glycerolipid with generally 2-4 times as much radioactivity as position sn 1. Pea root plastids are composed of approximately 62% phospholipid, 24% neutral lipid and 14% glycolipid. Within these classes PG, TAG, and the galactolipids are the major components representing 24, 12, and 12% of the total plastid lipids.

Developmental relationships in the function of pea root plastidsLi, Hongping, 1967- January 2000 (has links)
Germinating pea (Pisum sativum L.) roots were divided into five sequential 0.5 cm segments from the root tip. Pooled segments were analyzed for their protein, starch and lipid content as an indirect indication of plastid function. Fresh weights of root segments were lowest in the tips (4.45mug per segment) and progressively higher up to the fifth segment (11.09mug per segment). Total protein, starch and lipid content, on a per segment basis, were all highest in zone 1 (tip segment) and progressively lower up to zone 5. Plastids were isolated from each of the five root segments and analyzed for their capacity for lipid biosynthesis under several different in vitro conditions. Collectively, the observations presented here suggest that the relative contributions of plastids to the overall physiology of germinating pea roots gradually diminishes as root development proceeds, and that plastids isolated from progressively older root zones have increased capacity for glycolytic and/or pentose phosphate metabolism.

The role of glycolytic metabolism in fatty acid and glycerolipid biosynthesis in pea root plastidsQi, Qungang January 1995 (has links)
The interaction between the glycolytic metabolism and fatty acid and glycerolipid biosynthesis in pea root (Pisum sativum L.) plastids was assessed in this study. When various glycolytic intermediates were used to substitute for the APT requirement for fatty acid synthesis from acetate, phosphoenolpyruvate, 2-phosphoglycerate, fructose-6-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate each gave 48, 17, 23 and 17%, respectively, of the ATP-control activity. Similarly, in the absence of exogenously supplied ATP, the optimized triose-phosphate shuttle, which consists of 2 mM dihydroxyacetone phosphate, 2 mM oxaloacetic acid and 4 mM inorganic phosphate, gave up to 44% the ATP-control activity in promoting fatty acid synthesis from acetate. These results suggest that 3-phosphoglycerate kinase and pyruvate kinase in these plastids can function in intraplastidic ATP production through substrate level phosphorylation. However, in all cases, exogenously supplied ATP gave the greatest rates of fatty acid and glycerolipid synthesis. Radiolabeled pyruvate, glucose, glucose-6-phosphate, and malate in comparison to acetate were all variously utilized for fatty acid and glycerolipid biosynthesis by the root plastid. At the highest concentrations tested (3-5 mM), the rates of incorporation of pyruvate, glucose-6-phosphate and acetate into fatty acids were 183, 154, 125 nd 99 nmol $ rm cdot h sp{-1} cdot mg sp{-1}$, respectively. Malate was the least effective precursor, giving less than 55 nmol $ rm cdot h sp{-1} cdot mg sp{-1}$. Acetate incorporation was approximately 55% dependent on exogenously supplied reduced nuclotides (NADPH and NADH), whereas the utilization of the remaining precursors was only approximately 10-20% dependent on NAD(P)H. These results indicate that the entire pathway of carbon flow from glycolysis, including pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDHase), to fatty acids is operating in pea root plastids. Further, the intraplastidic glycolytic pathway plays an important role in provi

Fatty acid and glycerolipid biosynthesis in pea root plastidsStahl, Richard J. (Richard John) January 1990 (has links)
Fatty acid biosynthesis from (1-$ sp{14}$C) acetate was optimized in plastids isolated from primary root tips of 7-day-old germinating pea seeds. Fatty acid synthesis was maximum at 82.3 nmol/hr/mg protein in the presence of 200$ mu$M acetate, 0.5mM each of NADH, NADPH and CoA, 6mM each of ATP and MgCl$ sb2$, 1mM each of MnCl$ sb2$ and glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), 15mM KHCO$ sb3$, and 0.1M Bis tris propane, pH 8.0 incubated at 35C. At the standard incubation temperature of 25C, fatty acid synthesis was linear for up to 6 hours with 80 to 120 $ mu$g/ml plastid protein. ATP and CoA were absolute requirements, whereas divalent cations, potassium bicarbonate and reduced nucelotides all improved activity by 2 to 10 fold. Mg$ sp{2+}$ and NADH were the preferred cation and nucleotide, respectively. G3P and dihydroxyacetone phosphate had little effect, and dithiothreitol and detergents generally inhibited incorporation of $ sp{14}$C-acetate into fatty acid. / Glycerolipid synthesis was obtained from $ sp{14}$C-acetate, (U-$ sp{14}$C) G3P and (U-$ sp{14}$C) glycerol at relative rates of 3.7:1.0:0.1, respectively.
