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
There is limited information about the involvement of lipids and esterified fatty acids in signaling pathways during plant development. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the lipid composition and molecular species of potato (Solanum tuberosum L., cv. Spunta) stolons and to identify
Changes in sterols and the molecular species composition of polar lipids from microsomal membranes were characterized as a prerequisite to determining how lipid chemistry affects membrane susceptibility to peroxidation during aging of potato tubers. Polar lipid content of the microsomal fraction
Potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum L. cv Bintje) were stored at 20 degrees C for 210 days without desprouting to study the lipoxygenase pathway during aging. After 15 days of storage, potato tubers sprouted, while after 45-60 days, apical dominance was lost and multiple sprouts developed. Analysis of
Previous studies demonstrated that high levels of alpha-linolenate in cell membranes of potato tubers (achieved by overexpressing fatty acid desaturases) enhances lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress, and tuber metabolic rate, effectively accelerating the physiological age of tubers. This study
This paper reports the cloning of a cDNA (Vupat1) expressed in Vigna unguiculata leaves coding for a protein with 48% sequence homology to patatin, the major protein from potato tuber which has lipolytic acylhydrolase activity. Two cultivars differing in drought tolerance were examined in
The lipase from Rhizopus arrhizus and the lipolytic acyl hydrolase from potato tubers have been used to determine the transmembrane distribution of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) in prothylakoids and thylakoids from oat (Avena sativa). Both galactolipids
