Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of fatty acids de novo is required for photosynthetic acclimation of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 to high temperature.
Yohei Nanjo,Naoki Mizusawa,Hajime Wada,Antoni R. Slabas,Hidenori Hayashi,Yoshitaka Nishiyama +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the synthesis de novo of fatty acids, as well as proteins, is required for the enhancement of the thermal stability of PSII during the acclimation of Synechocystis cells to high temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular genetic analysis of enoyl‐acyl carrier protein reductase inhibition by diazaborine
Gert Jan De Boer,Gerlof J A Pielage,H. John J. Nijkamp,Antoni R. Slabas,John B. Rafferty,Clair Baldock,David W. Rice,Antoine R. Stuitje +7 more
TL;DR: The data confirm the hypothesis that any amino acid side‐chain other than hydrogen at this position within the three‐dimensional structure of these enzymes will affect diazaborine resistance by encroaching into the drug binding site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective purification of plant proteins which co-polymerise with mammalian microtubules.
TL;DR: The isolation of putative plant tubulins by exploting their co-assembly through 2 cycles of polymerisation/depolymerisation with mammalian brain tubulin with the aim of gaining an understanding of higher plant microtubules.
Journal ArticleDOI
cDNA cloning of Brassica napus malonyl‐CoA:ACP transacylase (MCAT) (fab D) and complementation of an E. coli MCAT mutant
J.W. Simon,Antoni R. Slabas +1 more
TL;DR: expression of a plasmid containing the plant cDNA sequence in Fab D89, an E. coli mutant, in MCAT activity restores growth demonstrating functional complementation and direct function of the cloned cDNA.
Patent
Conjugated fatty acids and related compounds
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that conjugated linoleic acid isomers with the first double bond in position 9 (cis) or 10 (trans), added exogenously, can be desaturated in position 6 by the cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis.
