TL;DR: Although transfer of Pi to the root xylem vessel is primarily mediated by PHo1, the homologue PHO1;H1 also contributes to Pi loading to the Xylem, and that the two corresponding genes are regulated by Pi deficiency by distinct signal transduction pathways is revealed.

TL;DR: The redirection of fatty acid flux towards β-oxidation, by deletion of the neutral lipid synthesis pathway, and the presence of shorter monomers in a mutant strain lacking the peroxisomal 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase domain provided evidence for the occurrence of partial mitochondrial β-Oxidation in Y. lipolytica.

TL;DR: Analysis of PHA production yields during growth on fatty acids with different chain lengths has revealed that the POX genotype significantly affects the PHA levels, but not the monomer composition of Pha, while three known models of β-oxidation are discussed and a 'leaky-hose pipe model' of the cycle can be applied to Y. lipolytica.

TL;DR: Pimeloyl-CoA is the in vivo substrate of AON synthase and that it is generated in the peroxisome via the β-oxidation cycle in A. nidulans and probably in a broad range of fungi, suggesting that Saccharomyces species use a pathway different from that used by the majority of fungi.

TL;DR: The kinetic parameters measured for the purified Pte1p fit well with the implication of this enzyme in the efficient metabolism of short straight and branched chain fatty acyl-CoAs by the β-oxidation cycle.
