Insulin Action on Polyunsaturated Phosphatidic Acid Formation in Rat Brain: An “In Vitro” Model with Synaptic Endings from Cerebral Cortex and Hippocampus [PDF]
The highly efficient formation of phosphatidic acid from exogenous 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol (SAG) in rat brain synaptic nerve endings (synaptosomes) from cerebral cortex and hippocampus is reported.

Phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate turnover by INP51 regulates the cell wall integrity pathway in "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" [PDF]
Signal transduction pathways are important for the cell to transduce external or internal stimuli where second messengers play an important role as mediators of the stimuli. One important group of second messengers are the phosphoinositide family present

Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1)-independent activation of the protein kinase C substrate, protein kinase D [PDF]
Phosphoinoisitide dependent kinase l (PDK1) is proposed to phosphorylate a key threonine residue within the catalytic domain of the protein kinase C (PKC) superfamily that controls the stability and catalytic competence of these kinases.

Insights into Activation Mechanisms of Store-Operated TRPC1 Channels in Vascular Smooth Muscle. [PDF]
In vascular smooth muscle cells (VMSCs), the stimulation of store-operated channels (SOCs) mediate Ca2+ influx pathways which regulate important cellular functions including contraction, proliferation, migration, and growth that are associated with the ...

Photoswitchable diacylglycerols enable optical control of protein kinase C. [PDF]
Increased levels of the second messenger lipid diacylglycerol (DAG) induce downstream signaling events including the translocation of C1-domain-containing proteins toward the plasma membrane. Here, we introduce three light-sensitive DAGs, termed PhoDAGs,

Activation of native TRPC1/C5/C6 channels by endothelin-1 is mediated by both PIP3 and PIP2 in rabbit coronary artery myocytes [PDF]
We investigate activation mechanisms of native TRPC1/C5/C6 channels (termed TRPC1 channels) by stimulation of endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptor subtypes in freshly dispersed rabbit coronary artery myocytes using single channel recording and ...

Role of Esrrg in the Fibrate-Mediated Regulation of Lipid Metabolism Genes in Human ApoA-I Transgenic Mice [PDF]
We have used a new ApoA-I transgenic mouse model to identify by global gene expression profiling, candidate genes that affect lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in response to fenofibrate treatment.

Phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCγ1) controls osteoclast numbers via colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1)-dependent diacylglycerol/β-catenin/cyclinD1 pathway [PDF]
Phospholipases Cγ (PLCγ) 1 and 2 are a class of highly homologous enzymes modulating a variety of cellular pathways through production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol (DAG).

Apoptotic signaling through CD95 (Fas/Apo-1) activates an acidic sphingomyelinase. [PDF]
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 ...

Disruption of glycerol metabolism by RNAi targeting of genes encoding glycerol kinase results in a range of phenotype severity in Drosophila. [PDF]
In Drosophila, RNAi targeting of either dGyk or dGK can result in two alternative phenotypes: adult glycerol hypersensitivity or larval lethality. Here we compare these two phenotypes at the level of glycerol kinase (GK) phosphorylation activity, dGyk ...
