Peroxisomal fatty acyl-CoA reductase 1 (FAR1) is a rate-limiting enzyme for ether lipid (EL) synthesis. Gene mutations in FAR1 cause a rare human disease. Furthermore, altered EL homeostasis has also been associated with various prevalent human diseases. Despite their importance in human health...
Fatty acyl-CoA reductases (FAR) can be divided into two classes that differ with respect to the end-product synthesized, i.e. the aldehyde- and the alcohol-forming enzymes [1]. Aldehyde-generating FAR catalyze a two-electron reduction of activated fatty acids, so that fatty aldehydes are fo...
Insect cuticular hydrocarbons are synthesized de novo in integumental tissue through the concerted action of fatty acid synthases (FASs), fatty acyl-CoA elongases, a reductase, and a decarboxylase to produce hydrocarbons and CO2. Elongation of fatty acyl-CoAs to very long chain fatty acids was ...
Fatty acyl-CoA reductase Far1 gene from Mus musculus (MmFar1) in L. starkeyi genome produced extracellular FAL of 1.7 g L− 1 when cultivated in glucose, and subsequently 4.2 g L− 1 in fed-batch culture (McNeil & Stuart, 2018; Wang et al., 2020). View chapter Book series 2021...

Fatty alcohols are natively produced in many organisms as a component of natural waxes by reduction of fatty acids or fatty acyl-CoA by carboxylic acid reductases (CARs) or fatty acyl-CoA reductases (FARs), respectively [1]. These fatty alcohol-producing genes have been expressed in a variety...
Transcripts changing in abundance were enriched in glucose, lipid, and energy-related metabolism, as well as oxo-reductase and cytochrome p450 activities (Fig. 2i, Supplementary Table 1)37. The transcripts with altered splicing patterns were enriched in mRNA processing, signal transduction, and ...
In vivo fatty alcohol production by natural and chimeric acyl-ACP reductases We focused our protein engineering efforts on MA-ACR fromMarinobacter aquaeloeibecause it displays high in vivo activity on acyl-CoA substrates7,8,9, and it was also suspected to accept acyl-ACP substrates. MA-ACR con...
Peroxisomes are essential regulatory organelles forPlsbiosynthesis, i.e., the first two steps of Pls biosynthesis occurs exclusively in peroxisomes[6]. In addition, the rate-limiting enzyme; fattyacyl CoAreductase1 (Far 1) is peroxisomal[7–9](Fig. 2). Alkylglycerophospholipids(Paks) are precurso...
