Protein: Phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT) (EC 2.3.1.158) (LCAT-related open reading frame 1) (Lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase-related open reading frame 1) (Triacylglycerol synthase) (TAG synthase) (P40345)
Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast)
Function: Catalyzes triacylglycerol (TAG) formation by an acyl-CoA independent pathway. The enzyme specifically transfers acyl groups from the sn-2 position of a phospholipid to diacylglycerol (DAG), thus forming an sn-1-lysophospholipid. The preferred acyl donors are phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylcholine (PC). Also capable of using broad acyl donors such as phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidylinositol (PI), as well as monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG), and acyl-CoA, and it is more likely to use unsaturated acyl donors. As acyl acceptors, it prefers 1,2- over 1,3-diacylglycerol (DAG). Additionally, has esterification activity that can utilize methanol as acyl acceptor to generate fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Can also utilize ceramide instead of DAG, acylating the ceramides by attaching a fatty acid to the hydroxy group on the first carbon atom of the long-chain base to produce 1-O-acylceramides. Involved in lipid particle synthesis from the endoplasmic reticulum, promoting localized TAG production at discrete ER subdomains. Relocates from the endoplasmic reticulum to a subdomain of the inner nuclear membrane upon nutrient starvation, where it provides a site of TAG synthesis, which is coupled with nuclear membrane remodeling.
