In the case of pNPP hydrolysis, others have reported both saturated and unsaturated fatty acyl coenzyme A esters stimulate PP5 activity, with concentrations required for half-maximal stimulation approximately 10-fold lower than those of their corresponding free fatty acids [ 21 ] . We therefore tested whether a saturated fatty acyl coenzyme A ester could also stimulate Ppt1p.
Examples of such gene fusions are the multifunctional enzymes Aas (2-acylglycerophospho-ethanolamine acyl transferase and acyl-acyl carrier protein synthetase) and G1mU ( N -acetyl glucosamine-1-phosphate uridyltransferase and glucosamine-1-phosphate acetyl transferase) [ 19, 20].
In these proteins, the GOLD domain co-occurs with lipid-, sterol- or fatty acid-binding domains such as PH [ 20, 21], Sec14p [ 22], FYVE [ 23], oxysterol binding- and acyl CoA-binding domains, suggesting that these proteins may interact with membranes.
The only biochemically characterized eukaryotic representative of this superfamily is LRAT, which transfers an acyl group from the sn-1 position of phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) to retinal, to form retinyl esters [ 27, 42, 43].
The modules each contain an acyl transferase (to load the extender unit onto the enzyme), as well as a ketosynthase and an ACP domain, together with exactly those reductive activities needed to generate the required pattern of modification of the chain at each step of elongation.
