Application

Myristoleic acid (C14:1) is a mono-unsaturated medium-chain fatty acid used as a model substrate for enzymes such as the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP102D1; the aromatic peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerita and oleate hydratase from Lysinibacillus fusiformis.

A recombinant enzyme from Lysinibacillus fusiformis was expressed, purified, and identified as an oleate hydratase because the hydration activity of the enzyme was the highest for oleic acid (with a k (cat) of 850 min(-1) and a K (m) of 540 μM)

Reaction of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, alkanes, sterols, sterol esters and triglycerides with the so-called aromatic peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerita was investigated using GC-MS. Regioselective hydroxylation of C(12)-C(20) saturated/unsaturated fatty acids was observed at the ω-1 and ω-2 positions (except

1. Myristoylated pseudosubstrate of PKCzeta (mPS) - a synthetic myristoylated peptide with a sequence (13 amino acids) mimicking the endogenous PKCzeta pseudosubstrate region -- is considered a selective cell-permeable inhibitor of PKCzeta. We present strong evidence that in endothelial cells
