... anabolic functions for other parts of the citric acid cycle [ 22 ]. This report suggested that although citrate formation occurs at a rather low rate, it is used for fatty acid biosynthesis, which is known to occur in insect-stage T. brucei [ 23 ]. Because both glucose and threonine were found...

...J. J. Thelen; S. Mekhedov; J. B. Ohlrogge De novo fatty acid biosynthesis occurs predominantly in plastids. The committed step for this pathway is the production of malonyl-CoA catalysed by acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase). In most plants, plastidial ACCase is a multisubunit complex minimally...
