Acyl-CoA-binding proteins (ACBPs) constitute a well-conserved family of proteins in eukaryotes that are important in stress responses and development. Past studies have shown that ACBPs are involved in maintaining, transporting and protecting acyl-CoA esters during lipid biosynthesis in plants, mammals, and yeast. ACBPs show differential expression and various binding affinities for acyl-CoA esters. Hence, ACBPs can play a crucial part in maintaining lipid homeostasis. This review summarizes the functions of ACBPs during the stages of reproduction in plants and other organisms. A comprehensive understanding on the roles of ACBPs during plant reproduction may lead to opportunities in crop improvement in agriculture.
酰基辅酶 A 结合蛋白 (ACBPs) 在真核生物中构成一个高度保守的蛋白家族，在应激反应和发育中具有重要作用。过去的研究表明，ACBPs 参与了植物、哺乳动物和酵母中脂类生物合成过程中酰基辅酶 A 酯的维持、运输和保护。ACBPs 对酰基辅酶 A 酯的表达和各种结合亲和力存在差异。因此，ACBPs 在维持脂质动态平衡中起着至关重要的作用。本文综述了 ACBPs 在植物和其他生物繁殖阶段的功能。全面了解 ACBPs 在植物繁殖过程中的作用可能为农业中的作物改良提供机会。
