The dose response for elicitation of the hypersensitive reaction in potato tuber discs by arachidonic acid (AA) suggested saturation at higher concentrations. Glucans from Phytophthora infestans, inactive themselves as elicitors of the hypersensitive reaction, enhanced sesquiterpene accumulation and
1. A pure lipid acyl-hydrolase was prepared from potato tubers by acetone precipitation, Sephadex G-100 and DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography, and by electrofocusing. 2. The purified enzyme was an acidic protein of pI 5.0 and molecular weight of about 70 000. Km values were 0.38 mM for
Oxygenation of two lysophospholipids, 1-linoleoyl lysophosphatidylcholine (linoleoyl-lysoPC) and 1-linoleoyl lysophosphatidic acid (linoleoyl-lysoPA), by reticulocyte lipoxygenase (LOX) or porcine leukocyte LOX was measured by monitoring the formation of conjugated dienes. Consistent with the above,
Lysophosphatidylcholines (lysoPCs) have been known to play a role as lipid mediators in various cellular responses. In this study, we examined whether lysoPC containing linoleoyl, arachidonoyl, or docosahexaenoyl groups or their peroxy derivatives affect lipoxygenase (LOX)-catalyzed oxygenation of
In the presence of oleoyl-CoA, purified and intact mitochondria from potato tuber formed phosphatidylcholine from labeled lysophosphatidylcholine. The labeled oleoyl moiety of the acyl-CoA was also incorporated in the absence of exogenous lysolipids, such incorporation being largely increased by the
The effect of hypolipidemic drugs, WY14643 and DH990, on plant lipid metabolism has been studied. The total incorporation of [14C]acetate into lipids was inhibited by addition of both drugs to aged potato (Solanum tuberosum) tuber discs, spinach (Spinacia oleracea) leaves, and spinach chloroplasts,
OBJECTIVE
Whole-grain cereals and diets with a low glycemic index may protect against the development of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. We studied the effect of carbohydrate modification on serum metabolic profiles, including lipids and branched chain
