Functional and Structural Insights into Lipases Associated with Fruit Lipid Accumulation in Swida wilsoniana.

ABSTRACT: Swida wilsoniana is an important oil-producing tree species whose fruits are rich in unsaturated fatty acids with high nutritional and medicinal value. Lipases are involved not only in lipid mobilization but also potentially in the regulation of fatty acid composition and oil accumulation in plants. In this study, the fatty acid composition of S. wilsoniana fruits was analyzed using gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID), and the three most abundant fatty acids were selected as molecular docking ligands. Based on overall multi-ligand docking performance (including mean affinity across the three ligands), three key lipases-SwL5, SwL8, and SwL12-were identified as having the strongest interactions with these fatty acids. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that SwL5
