In the original publication of the article, figure 7 results were incorrectly published.
Because of the discrepancies between our results published in Lipids 48(7):663–674, and others in the field with regards to Membrane Bound O-Acyltranferase (MBOAT) activity with 18:2n-6 and 18:3n-3 as substrates, we measured the activity of the castor lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (RcLPCAT) using freshly prepared substrates. The 18:3-CoA and 18:2-CoA were prepared by chemical synthesis [1] and kindly provided by Dr. Stymne (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Alnarp, Sweden).
As indicated by our results using the new substrates, LPCAT activity was similar for 18:2 and 18:3 thioesters as it was for 18:1 and 16:1 thioesters, in agreement with the specificity recorded for Brassica LPCAT. These new results do not alter the major conclusion stated in our paper that MBOAT has limited activity with ricinoleoyl-CoA as a substrate, but does indicate it has similar activity with 18:2-CoA and 18:3-CoA as it does with 18:1-CoA and 16:1-CoA.
The correct version of figure 7 is given below:
