Ricinoleic acid, a hydroxylated fatty acid (HFA) present in castor ( Ricinus communis) seeds, is an important industrial commodity used in products ranging from inks and paints to polymers and fuels. However, due to the deadly toxin ricin and allergens also present in castor, it would be
The synthesis of non-cellulosic polysaccharides and glycoproteins in the plant cell Golgi apparatus requires UDP-galactose as substrate. The topology of these reactions is not known, although the orientation of a plant galactosyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of galactomannans in fenugreek
While plant oils are an important source of food, plants also produce oils containing specialized fatty acids with chemical and physical properties valued in industry. Ricinoleic acid, a hydroxy fatty acid (HFA) produced in the seed of castor (Ricinus communis), is of particular value, with a wide
BACKGROUND
The cytoplasmic peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) is a deglycosylating enzyme involved in the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) process, while ERAD-independent activities are also reported. Previous biochemical analyses indicated that the cytoplasmic PNGase orthologue in Arabidopsis thaliana
