Acyl carrier proteins participate in the synthesis of fatty acids. Here we report the NMR resonances assignment of the acyl carrier protein domain of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae fatty acid synthase which corresponds to the fragment 138A-302L in the primary structure. The assignment will allow performing NMR studies with the aim to investigate the intrinsic dynamics of this protein, and to study the structural changes upon apo-holo transformation in order to unveil the mechanism of binding of the growing acyl chain.

Bacillibactin (BB) is a microbial siderophore produced by Bacillus species. BB is biosynthesized from 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHB), Gly, and L-Thr by nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) enzymes DhbE, DhbB, and DhbF. The biosynthetic gene cluster (dhb) is also conserved in some strains of thermophilic genera, Geobacillus, Anoxybacillus and Parageobacillus.

Frequent and extreme drought exerts profound effects on vegetation growth and production worldwide. It is imperative to identify key genes that regulate plant drought resistance and to investigate their underlying mechanisms of action. Long-chain fatty acids and their derivatives have been demonstrated to participate in various stages of plant growth and stress resistance; however, the effects of medium-chain fatty acids on related functions have not been thoroughly studied.

Modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) are multi-domain enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of polyketide natural products. The dehydratase (DH) domain catalyzes the dehydration of the β-hydroxyacyl unit attached to the acyl carrier protein (ACP) domain in modular PKS. Although the DH domain likely recognizes the cognate ACP domain during the dehydration reaction, the molecular basis of DH-ACP interactions remains elusive.

Cyanobacteria are widespread, photosynthetic, gram-negative bacteria that generate numerous bioactive secondary metabolites complex biosynthetic enzymatic machinery. The model cyanobacterium sp. strain PCC 7002, hereafter referred to as PCC 7002, contains a type I polyketide synthase (PKS), termed olefin synthase (OlsWT), that synthesizes 1-nonadecene and 1,14-nonadecadiene: α-olefins that are important for growth at low temperatures.

Introduction: Oxidative stress is an important cause of acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury (AILI). Sakuranetin (Sak) is an antitoxin from the cherry flavonoid plant with good antioxidant effects. However, whether sakuranetine has a protective effect on APAP-induced liver injury is not clear.
