Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleIdentification and Characterization of Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase in Oleaginous Yeast Rhodosporidium toruloidesZhen Wang, Huaiyuan Zhang, Lina Zhao, Yuanda SongDiacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT), which catalyzes TAG formation from DAG and acyl-CoA, has been considered to play a vital role in TAG accumulation in oleaginous microorganisms. The genome of oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides contains two putative DGAT genes, RtDGATa and RtDGATb, which shared little conserved amino acid coding sequence with each other. Phylogeny tree analysis showed that RtDGATa belonged to DGAT1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 17 Oct 2016 · 7,387 accessesView PDFCite
