Crystal structure of mammalian acid sphingomyelinase
Nature Communications, 2016 Mutations in acid sphingomyelinase result in toxic accumulation of sphingomyelin and cause Niemann-Pick disease. Here, the authors report structures of mammalian acid sphingomyelinase, which reveal details of the molecular mechanism of acid ...

Mechanisms of Action and Cell Death Associated with Clostridium perfringens Toxins. [PDF]
, 2018 Clostridium perfringens uses its large arsenal of protein toxins to produce histotoxic, neurologic and intestinal infections in humans and animals. The major toxins involved in diseases are alpha (CPA), beta (CPB), epsilon (ETX), iota (ITX), enterotoxin (

Apoptosis and signalling in acid sphingomyelinase deficient cells
BMC Cell Biology, 2001 Background Recent evidence suggests that the activation of a non-specific lipid scramblase during apoptosis induces the flipping of sphingomyelin from the cell surface to the cytoplasmic leaftet of the plasma membrane. Inner leaflet sphingomyelin is then

The Roles of Membrane Rafts in CD32A-Mediated Phagocytosis [PDF]
, 2007 Membrane rafts are highly dynamic heterogeneous sterol- and sphingolipid-rich micro-domains on cell surfaces. They are generally believed to provide residency for cell surface molecules (e.g., adhesion and signaling molecules) and scaffolding to ...

Apoptotic signaling through CD95 (Fas/Apo-1) activates an acidic sphingomyelinase. [PDF]
, 1994 Intracellular pathways leading from membrane receptor engagement to apoptotic cell death are still poorly characterized. We investigated the intracellular signaling generated after cross-linking of CD95 (Fas/Apo-1 antigen), a broadly expressed cell ...

Src Mediates Epigallocatechin-3-O-Gallate-Elicited Acid Sphingomyelinase Activation
Molecules, 2020 Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG) is one of the major bioactive compounds known to be present in green tea. We previously reported that EGCG shows selective toxicity through activation of the protein kinase B (Akt)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)/
