additional information | glycerol content is strongly reduced in both stem and leaf cutin from all Arabidopsis thaliana mutants analyzed (gpat4/gpat8). Knocking out of these genes individually or as a pair (gpat4/gpat8) leads to large reductions in Arabidopsis thaliana cutin monomer loads, especially in the major monomer octadeca-6,9-diene-1,18-dioate (C18:2 DCA) | Arabidopsis thaliana |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | glycerol content is strongly reduced in both stem and leaf cutin from all Arabidopsis thaliana mutants analyzed (gpat4/gpat8). Knocking out any of these genes individually, or as a pair (gpat4/gpat8), leads to large reductions in Arabidopsis thaliana cutin monomer loads, especially in the major monomer octadeca-6,9-diene-1,18-dioate (C18:2 DCA). sn-2-GPATs play pivotal roles in providing glycerol as a structural monomer for cutin through regiospecific sn-2 acylation of glycerol-3-phosphate. The double-knockout gpat4/gpat8 has an overall 60-70% reduction of aliphatic monomers in stem and leaf cutin, and the most pronounced decrease occurs in its major monomer, C18:2 dicarboxylic acyl-CoA (DCA) | Arabidopsis thaliana |
metabolism | isozymes GPAT4 and GPAT8 are glycerol-3-phosphate 2-O acyltransferases that catalyze the first step in leaf and stem cutin acylglycerol assembly | Arabidopsis thaliana |
physiological function | glycerol-3-phosphate 2-O-acyltransferases (sn-2-GPATs) are essential for cutin biosynthesis and involved in cutin polymerization, cutin structures and compositions in plant tissues, detailed overview | Arabidopsis thaliana |
