In addition, the white adipose tissue of transgenic pigs contained about 20% more linoleic acid (18:2n-6) than that of wild-type pigs. These results demonstrate the functional expression of a plant gene for a fatty acid desaturase in mammals, opening up the possibility of modifying the fatty acid composition of products from domestic animals by transgenic technology, using plant genes for fatty acid desaturases 1.14.19.35 sn-2 acyl-lipid omega-3 desaturase (ferredoxin) nutrition potential of the engineered plastidial omega-3 desaturase from sesame to influence the profile of alpha-linolenic acid in transgenic tobacco plant by shifting the carbon flux from linoleic acid, the enzyme can be used in suitable genetic engineering strategy to increase the alpha-linolenic acid content in sesame and other vegetable oils 1.14.19.47 acyl-lipid (9-3)-desaturase nutrition product yields are markedly enhanced by codon optimization of the Pythium gene.

Serum homocysteine does not differ between rats fed casein-based diet including folate and egg protein-based diet lacking folate. Hepatic BHMT activity is increased by 45% and 40% by the egg protein-based diet and whole egg-based diet compared with the casein-based diets, respectively 2.1.1.77 protein-L-isoaspartate(D-aspartate) O-methyltransferase nutrition enzymatic detection of L-isoaspartyl residues in food proteins 2.1.1.95 tocopherol C-methyltransferase nutrition increase in the alpha-tocopherol content in the soybean seed, due to transgenically modulated enzyme activity, could have a potential to significantly increase the dietary intake of vitamin E 2.1.1.156 glycine/sarcosine N-methyltransferase nutrition enzyme can be used in betaine production for improvement of stress tolerance of commercially important microbes in agriculture and industry, and for nutritial improvement of transgenic crop plants, that do not produce betaine naturally 2.1.1.157 sarcosine/dimethylglycine N-methyltransferase nutrition enzyme can be used in betaine production for improvement of stress tolerance of commercially important microbes in agriculture and industry, and for nutritial improvement of transgenic crop plants, that do not produce betaine naturally 2.3.1.15 glycerol-3-phosphate 1-O-acyltransferase nutrition PpGPAT9 may be another genetic resource to enhance storage oil yields from oilseed crops 2.3.1.26 sterol O-acyltransferase nutrition increase in enzyme activity in animals fed with palmitic acid. No difference in hepatic enzyme activity in animals fed with oleic acid or linoleic acid 2.3.1.26 sterol O-acyltransferase nutrition feeding a diet suplemented with linoleic acid, conjugated linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid or conjugated linolenic acid results in decrease in plasma cholesterol, with conjugated linoleic acid being the most effective. Diets have no effect on sterol regulatory element binding protein-2, liver X receptor, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutary-CoA reductase, LDL receptor, and cholesterol-7-hydroxylase. The four octadecaenoic acids increase the excretion of fecal neutral sterols with conjugated linoleic acid being most effective followed by alphga-linolenic acid, linoleic acid and conjugated linolenic acid. Dietary conjugated linoleic acid is associated with the least intestinal acyl coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase activity followed by alpha-linolenic acid, linoleic acid and conjugated linolenic acid in a decreasing trend 2.3.1.37 5-aminolevulinate synthase nutrition enzyme expressed in transgenic Nicotiana tabacum plants demonstrate functional complementation in the chlorophyll biosynthesis and open strategies for producing tolerance against inhibitors of the C5 pathway 2.3.1.41 beta-ketoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase I nutrition target for the engineering of plant seed oils 2.3.1.54 formate C-acetyltransferase nutrition plays a significant role in industrial milk fermentation 2.3.1.79 maltose O-acetyltransferase nutrition biotechnologically attractive for the modification of starch and maltooligosaccharides 2.3.1.84 alcohol O-acetyltransferase nutrition polishing of rice for use in sake brewing is necessary to remove inositol from rice, thereby increasing AATase activity. A high AATase activity leads to an abundance of acetate esters of higher alcohols in sake, such as isoamyl acetate, one of the most favorable odor-enhancing compounds 2.3.1.85 fatty-acid synthase system nutrition animals fed with semipurified diets containing either 1% w/w corn oil or 10% each of beef tallow, corn oil, perilla oil, and fish oil. Enzyme activity is reduced in the polyunsaturated fat-fed group in the order of fish oil, perilla oil, and corn oil 2.3.1.91 sinapoylglucose-choline O-sinapoyltransferase nutrition in crop plants, sinapate esters are antinutritive compounds. They contribute to the bitter taste and astringency of seed products. Sinapate esters form complexes with proteins during seed oil processing, thus compromising the use of the valuable seed meal for animal feed and preventing it from being used as human food supplement. Thus, there is a fundamental interest in reducing the amount of sinapate esters in the seed. Suppressing the expression of the key enzymes in sinapine synthesis, sinapoylglucose:choline O-napoyltransferase (BnSCT) and UDP-glucose:sinapate glucosyltransferase (BnSGT1), by techniques such as dsRNAi should by a valuable step in establishing Brassica napus, an important oil crop, as a protein crop as well 2.3.1.110 tyramine N-feruloyltransferase nutrition production of plant secondary metabolites 2.3.1.115 isoflavone-7-O-beta-glucoside 6''-O-malonyltransferase nutrition health-promoting neutraceutical 2.3.1.156 phloroisovalerophenone synthase nutrition cones of the hop plant used in the beer-brewing process 2.3.1.176 propanoyl-CoA C-acyltransferase nutrition wild-type mice fed a cholesterol-rich diet show increased weight gain, hepatic lipid, and bileacid accumulation. SCP-2 overexpression further exacerbates hepatic lipid accumulation in cholesterol-fed females and males. Primarily in female mice, hepatic cholesterol accumulation induced by SCP-2 overexpression is associated with increased levels of LDL receptor, HDL-receptor scavenger receptor SR-B1, liver fatty acid binding protein L-FABP, and 3alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, without alteration of other proteins involved in cholesterol uptake, esterification, efflux, or oxidation/transport of bile salts. The effects of SCP-2 overexpression and cholesterol-rich diet are downregulation of proteins involved in cholesterol transport like L-FABP and SR-B1, cholesterolsynthesis related to sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 and HMG-CoA reductase, and bile acid oxidation/transport 2.3.2.2 gamma-glutamyltransferase nutrition mutant enzyme D445A is suitable for fermentation of soy sauce and miso 2.3.2.2 gamma-glutamyltransferase nutrition the enzyme is suitable for food fermentation under high salt conditions, e.g. the fermentation of soy sauce and miso 2.3.2.13 protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase nutrition MTGase treatment significantly increases the denaturation temperature of beta-lactoglobulin in whey protein isolate, from 71.84°C in the untreated sample to 78.50°C after 30 h of incubation with MTGase. Increase in ´denaturation temperature is primarily due to covalent cross-linking and not due to an increase in nonpolar interactions within the protein. The surface hydrophobicity of the protein decreases upon cross-linking, due to occlusion of the hydrophobic cavities to the fluorescent probes. The cross-linked protein exhibits a U-shaped pH-stability profile with maximumturbidity at pH 4.0-4.5 2.3.2.13 protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase nutrition the functionality of light roasted peanut flour dispersions containing supplemental casein is altered after polymerization with microbial transglutaminase. The formation of high molecular weight covalent cross-links is observed. The gelling temperature of TGase-treated peanut flour dispersions containing 2.5% casein is significantly raised compared to the nontreated peanut flour-casein control solutions. The gel strength and water holding capacity of cross-linked peanut flour-casein test samples containing 5% casein is increased, while the yield stress and apparent viscosity are lowered compared to control dispersions.
