Abstract

Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) purified from lipid body fraction of Mortierella ramanniana var. angulispora. Enzyme (53 kDa) showed high specificity for sn-1,2-diolein and lauroyl-CoA. Activity dependent on exogenous substrates; activated by phosphatidic acid and inhibited by sphingosine. Provides basis for studying triacylglycerol biosynthesis and lipid body formation. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
