Long-chain fatty acid synthesis is controlled in the short term by allosteric and covalent modification of euTymes and in the long term by changes in gene expression governing rates of synthesis of enzymes. 

Fig. 4. Modification of plant metabolic pathways for the synthesis of poly(3HAMCL) in peroxisomes. The pathways created or enhanced by the expression of transgenes (P. aeruginosa PHA synthase and C. lanceolata decanoyl-ACP thioesterase) and of mutant alleles of plant fatty acid desaturase genes are highlighted by bold arrows and the enzymes involved underlined...

Finally, a high carbohydrate diet results in activation of a protein that regulates transcription of genes that express enzymes involved in the process of fatty acid synthesis (Figure 11.8(c)). 

How complex can the proteome of hydrogenosomes in T. vaginalis be expected to be Trichomonad hydrogenosomes have lost many standard metabolic capacities of mitochondria like—and consequently most of the proteins involved in—the tricarboxylic cycle, membrane-bound electron transport and ATP-production (Muller 1993), or fatty acid synthesis (Beach et al. 1990). Because of the absence of a genome (Clemens and Johnson 2000) the complex machineries of DNA replication and repair, gene transcription and protein synthesis are also absent from these organelles. On the other hand, experimental evidence exists for only a small number of metabolic... 

PPAR is a nuclear receptor-transcription factor and is ligand-dependent and expressed in several tissues. It is initially involved in adipocyte differentiation and fatty acid synthesis. Fatty acid and eicosanoids bind to PPAR and regulate transcription. PPAR activation inhibits monocyte differentiation and expression of several pro-inflammatory genes such as iNOS, TNF, etc. PPAR activation inhibits tumor cell proliferation (epithelial, colon, prostate). PPAR is involved in angiogenesis. 

Figure 1 S2P contains conserved HEXXH and LOG motifs found in metaiioproteases. SREBP first is cieaved by SI P in the iuminai ioop. The regulatory domain (Reg) interacts with the choiesteroi-sensing SCAP to ensure that SI P proteoiysis oniy occurs when choiesteroi ieveis are iow. Subsequent intramembrane proteoiysis reieases this transcription factor for the expression of genes essentiai to choiesteroi and fatty acid synthesis.
