Contribution of Are1p and Are2p to steryl ester synthesis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TL;DR: In a growth competition experiment are1are2 cells grow more slowly than wild-type after several rounds of cultivation, suggesting that Are1p and Are2p or steryl esters, the product formed by these two enzymes, are more important in the natural environment than under laboratory conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

PDR16 and PDR17, two homologous genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, affect lipid biosynthesis and resistance to multiple drugs

TL;DR: The results indicate that PDR16 and PDR17 control levels of various lipids in various compartments of the cell and thereby provide a mechanism for multidrug resistance unrecognized so far.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and Biochemical Properties of Lipid Particles from the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: This study uses a set of triple mutants with only one of these acyltransferases active to elucidate the contribution of each single enzyme to lipid particle (LP)/droplet formation and proposes that this structural arrangement of neutral lipids in LP may be important for their physiological role especially with respect to mobilization of TAG and SE reserves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of the sesquiterpenoid (+)-nootkatone by metabolic engineering of Pichia pastoris.

TL;DR: Intracellular production of (+)-valencene by co-expression of valencene synthase from Callitropsis nootkatensis resolved the phase-transfer issues of (+-valencenes.
