Patatin has, so far, been considered a homogeneous group of proteins. A comparison of the isoforms in terms of structural properties or stability has not been reported. A method to obtain various isoform fractions as well as a comparison of the physicochemical properties of these pools is presented. Patatin could be separated in four isoform pools, denoted A, B, C, and D, representing 62%, 26%, 5%, and 7% of the total amount of patatin, respectively. These isoforms differed in surface charge, resulting in a different behavior on anion exchange chromatography, isoelectric focusing, native polyacrylamide gel, and capillary electrophoresis. All isoforms of the patatin family contained proteins with two molecular masses of approximately 40.3 and 41.6 kDa, respectively. The size of this difference in the molar mass (1300 Da) is on the order of one carbohydrate moiety. Despite the biochemical differences given above, no variations in the structural properties nor in the thermal conformational stability could be observed using far-ultraviolet circular dichroism, infrared, and fluorescence spectroscopy.

There are three subfamilies of patatin-related phospholipase A (pPLA) group of genes: , , and . Among the four members of (, , , ), the overexpression of three isoforms (, , and ) displayed distinct morphological growth patterns, in which the anisotropic cell expansion was disrupted. Here, the least studied was characterized, and it was found that the overexpression of in Arabidopsis resulted in longitudinally reduced cell expansion patterns, which are consistent with the general phenotype induced by s overexpression.

Patatin, the major protein found in potatoes, was purified and shows several isoforms. The essential amino acid content of patatin was ashighas 76%, indicating that it is a valuable protein source. Patatin was an O-linked glycoprotein that contained fucose monosaccharides, as well as mannose, rhamnose, glucose, galactose, xylose, and arabinose.

Article Synopsis
- Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea thins and bulges, impairing vision and often requiring corneal transplants; researchers aimed to find genetic factors linked to the disease through a genome-wide study.
- The study involved participants from various eye clinics across Australia, the U.S., and Northern Ireland, using advanced genetic testing methods to analyze and replicate findings across multiple cohorts.
- Ultimately, the research assessed over 6 million genetic variants for connections to keratoconus and utilized various statistical methods, including logistic regression, to ensure accurate results.
