1. 1. Synthesis of jojoba-like wax esters in metabolically engineered strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

   Författare :Leonie Wenning; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; very long-chain monounsaturated fatty alcohols; very long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids; jojoba-like wax esters;

   Sammanfattning : Yeast has a long-standing tradition in human history as a production organism of choice. Besides being used for the production of fermented products like bread or beer, it has also been extensively explored for the production of proteins and chemicals. LÄS MER

3. 2. On the way of making plants smell like moths - a synthetic biology approach

   Författare :Bao-Jian Ding; Funktionell zoologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; moth pheromone; transcriptome; fatty acyl desaturase; fatty acyl reductase; acetyltransferase; chain shortening; chain elongation; heterologous expression; synthetic biology; plant expression;

   Sammanfattning : Moth caterpillars are major agricultural pests in many parts of the world. In general female moths attract male mates with their pheromone over long distance. Most of the described moth pheromones belong to the same class of chemical compounds, fatty acid derivatives that are produced de novo in the pheromone gland. LÄS MER

4. 3. Esterification of long-chain fatty acids to cholesterol and ethanol : role of acyltransferases and carboxylesterases

   Författare :Margareta A Diczfalusy; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was to investigate esterification of long-chain fatty acids to cholesterol and ethanol. The esterification products, cholesteryl esters and ethyl esters, may under certain circumstances accumulate in some cell types and tissues and cause pathological changes. LÄS MER

5. 4. Metabolic signals and the ATP-sensitive potassium channel in the pancreatic beta-cell

   Författare :Robert Bränström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :ATP-regulated K channel; pancreatic [beta]-cell oscillations; [alpha]-ketoisocaproate; long chain acyl-CoA esters; Kir6.2 SUR1 structure-function.;

   Sammanfattning : ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels are widely distributed in a variety of tissues and cell types. KATP channels are comprised of two subunits, a pore forming subunit (Kir6.x) and a regulatory sulfonylurea receptor (SURx). Both subunits are required for fully functional channels. LÄS MER

7. 5. Peroxisomal and mitochondrial enzymes involved in lipid metabolism : studies on function and regulation

   Författare :Veronika Tillander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Fatty acids constitute a major part of the energy that we obtain from the diet and are also the principal source for mammals to store energy. To use the incoming or stored fatty acids as energy, the fatty acids needs to be metabolized of which the majority of fatty acids will be degraded by the mitochondrial β-oxidation system that in the end generates energy to the cell in the form of ATP.
