ER membrane protein involved in regulation of OLE1 transcription; inactive ER form dimerizes and one subunit is then activated by ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent processing followed by nuclear targeting; MGA2 has a paralog, SPT23, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Elongation of fatty acids protein 2; Fatty acid elongase, involved in sphingolipid biosynthesis; acts on fatty acids of up to 24 carbons in length; mutations have regulatory effects on 1,3-beta-glucan synthase, vacuolar ATPase, and the secretory pathway; ELO2 has a paralog, ELO1, that arose from the whole genome duplication; lethality of the elo2 elo3 double null mutation is functionally complemented by human ELOVL1 and weakly complemented by human ELOVL3 or ELOV7.

Elongation of fatty acids protein 3; Elongase; involved in fatty acid and sphingolipid biosynthesis; synthesizes very long chain 20-26-carbon fatty acids from C18-CoA primers; involved in regulation of sphingolipid biosynthesis; lethality of the elo2 elo3 double null mutation is functionally complemented by human ELOVL1 and weakly complemented by human ELOVL3 or ELOV7; Belongs to the ELO family.

ER membrane protein involved in regulation of OLE1 transcription; inactive ER form dimerizes and one subunit is then activated by ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent processing followed by nuclear targeting; SPT23 has a paralog, MGA2, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Very-long-chain 3-oxoacyl-CoA reductase; Microsomal beta-keto-reductase; contains oleate response element (ORE) sequence in the promoter region; mutants exhibit reduced VLCFA synthesis, accumulate high levels of dihydrosphingosine, phytosphingosine and medium-chain ceramides; Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.

Very-long-chain enoyl-CoA reductase; Enoyl reductase; catalyzes last step in each cycle of very long chain fatty acid elongation; localizes to ER, highly enriched in a structure marking nuclear-vacuolar junctions; coimmunoprecipitates with elongases Elo2p and Elo3p; protein increases in abundance and relative distribution to ER foci increases upon DNA replication stress; human homolog TECR implicated in nonsyndromic mental retardation, can complement yeast mutant; Belongs to the steroid 5-alpha reductase family.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase, biotin containing enzyme; catalyzes carboxylation of cytosolic acetyl-CoA to form malonyl-CoA and regulates histone acetylation by regulating the availablity of acetyl-CoA; required for de novo biosynthesis of long-chain fatty acids; ACC1 has a paralog, HFA1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Very-long-chain (3R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase PHS1; Essential 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase of the ER membrane; involved in elongation of very long-chain fatty acids; evolutionarily conserved, similar to mammalian PTPLA and PTPLB; involved in sphingolipid biosynthesis and protein trafficking.

Long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase 4; Long chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase; activates fatty acids with a preference for C12:0-C16:0 chain lengths; role in the competitive import of long-chain fatty acids and sphingoid long-chain bases; role in stationary phase survival; localizes to lipid particles and the plasma membrane; role in sphingolipid-to-glycerolipid metabolism; forms cytoplasmic foci upon replication stress; faa1 faa4 double null complemented by any of human ACSBG1, ACSL1, 3, 4, 5, 6, SLC27A2, or 4; Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family.
