Article Synopsis
- Lipid biosynthesis in cells relies on various enzymes working together in specific pathways, and their activity must adapt to changes in nutrition and environment.
- Researchers discovered interactions between key acyltransferases and the desaturase Ole1 in yeast, indicating a collaborative effort among these enzymes to produce lipids.
- Mutations in specific regions of the Dga1 enzyme affect its ability to interact with Ole1 while still allowing it to function, suggesting a complex that directs unsaturated acyl chains toward necessary lipid products based on cellular needs.
The cell division cycle is a fundamental process required for proliferation of all living organisms. The eukaryotic cell cycle follows a basic template with an ordered series of events beginning with G1 (Gap1) phase, followed successively by S (Synthesis) phase, G2 (Gap 2) phase, and M-phase (Mitosis). The process is tightly regulated in response to signals from both the internal and external milieu.
