The acyl-CoA synthetase encoded by LACS2 is essential for normal cuticle development in Arabidopsis.

The Plant cell - 1 Mar 2004

Schnurr Judy, Shockey Jay, Browse John

Abstract excerpt

Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (LACS) activities are encoded by a family of at least nine genes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). These enzymes have roles in lipid synthesis, fatty acid catabolism, and the transport of fatty acids between subcellular compartments. Here, we show that the LACS...
