Tung tree DGAT1 and DGAT2 have nonredundant functions in triacylglycerol biosynthesis and are localized to different subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum
Seeds of the tung tree (Vernicia fordii) produce large quantities of triacylglycerols (TAGs)
containing ∼80% eleostearic acid, an unusual conjugated fatty acid. We present a comparative …

Membrane‐bound fatty acid desaturases are inserted co‐translationally into the ER and contain different ER retrieval motifs at their carboxy termini
Fatty acid desaturases (FADs) play a prominent role in plant lipid metabolism and are
located in various subcellular compartments, including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). To …
