Daily rhythms of glycerophospholipid synthesis in fibroblast cultures involve differential enzyme contributions [PDF]
Circadian clocks regulate the temporal organization of several biochemical processes including lipid metabolism and their disruption leads to severe metabolic disorders. Immortalized cell lines acting as circadian clocks display daily variations in [32P]-

CTP: phosphoethanolamine cytidylytransferase and DAG: CDP-ethanolamine ethanolaminephosphotransferase in the CDP-ethanolamine pathway of Chlamydomonas reinhardtti [PDF]
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dangeard does not have two major phospholipids, PS and PC. This fact renders C. reinhardtii a desirable system for investigations of the PE biosynthetic pathway and its regulation independent of PC and PS biosynthesis.

Lipid phosphate phosphatase 3 participates in transport carrier formation and protein trafficking in the early secretory pathway [PDF]
The inhibition of phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) activity by propanolol indicates that diacylglycerol (DAG) is required for the formation of transport carriers at the Golgi and for retrograde trafficking to the ER.

Modifying the lipid content and composition of plant seeds: engineering the production of LC-PUFA [PDF]
Omega-3 fatty acids are characterized by a double bond at the third carbon atom from the end of the carbon chain. Latterly, long chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5Δ5,8,11,14,17) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA;

Autophagosome formation is initiated at phosphatidylinositol synthase‐enriched ER subdomains [PDF]
The autophagosome, a double‐membrane structure mediating degradation of cytoplasmic materials by macroautophagy, is formed in close proximity to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). However, how the ER membrane is involved in autophagy initiation and to which

Membrane lipid biosynthesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: Ethanolaminephosphotransferase is capable of synthesizing both phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine [PDF]
Phosphatidylethanolamine, but not phosphatidylcholine, is found in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. A cDNA coding for diacylglycerol: CDP-ethanolamine ethanolaminephosphotransferase (EPT) was cloned from C. reinhardtii. The C.

Triacylglycerol synthesis by PDAT1 in the absence of DGAT1 activity is dependent on re-acylation of LPC by LPCAT2 [PDF]
Background: The Arabidopsis thaliana dgat1 mutant, AS11, has an oil content which is decreased by 30%, and a strongly increased ratio of 18:3/20:1, compared to wild type.
