DGAT — Brachypodium distachyon
Summary
BdDGAT (BRADI_1G42650V3) on chromosome 1 of Brachypodium distachyon encodes a diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase (DGAT) with a DAGAT domain, conferring diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity (EC 2.3.1.-). The gene is associated with neutral lipid anabolism, triglyceride anabolism, glycerol metabolism, and adiposome organization, and its product localizes to the adiposome and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. BdDGAT is linked to temperature tolerance and oil accumulation. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to triacylglycerol and lipid synthesis, while sequence similarity links the family to grain yield, oleic acid content, quality traits, and high temperature stress response.
