Abstract excerpt
Lysophosphatidyl acyltransferase (LPAT) is a pivotal enzyme controlling the metabolic flow of lysophosphatidic acid into different phosphatidic acids in diverse tissues. We examined putative LPAT genes in Arabidopsis thaliana and characterized two related genes that encode the cytoplasmic LPAT. LPAT2 is the lone gene that encodes the ubiquitous and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-located LPAT. It could functionally...
