Yeast glycolipid biosurfactants [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2017 Various yeasts, both conventional and exotic ones, are known to produce compounds useful to mankind. Ethanol is the most known of these compounds, but more complex molecules such as amphiphilic biosurfactants can also be derived from eukaryotic microorganisms at an industrially and commercially relevant scale.

CdsA is involved in biosynthesis of glycolipid MPIase essential for membrane protein integration in vivo [PDF]
, 2021 MPIase is a glycolipid that is involved in membrane protein integration. Despite evaluation of its functions in vitro, the lack of information on MPIase biosynthesis hampered verification of its involvement in vivo. In this study, we found that depletion

Chloride Ions Are Required for Thermosipho africanus MurJ Function
mBio, 2023 Most bacteria have a peptidoglycan cell wall that determines their cell shape and helps them resist osmotic lysis. Peptidoglycan synthesis depends on the translocation of the lipid-linked precursor lipid II across the cytoplasmic membrane by the MurJ ...

Adding glycolipid functionality to model membranes – phase behaviour of a synthetic glycolipid in a phospholipid membrane [PDF]
, 2014 Glycolipid phase behaviour is less well understood than for many phospholipids, but due to their structural and functional diversity, glycolipids represent an important group of amphiphiles from which biological function is derived.

Lipoarabinomannan in Active and Passive Protection Against Tuberculosis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Glycolipids of the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) are important immunomodulators in tuberculosis. In particular, lipoarabinomannan (LAM) has a profound effect on the innate immune response. LAM and its structural variants can be recognized

Amadori-glycated phosphatidylethanolamine enhances the physical stability and selective targeting ability of liposomes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Liposomes consisting of 100% phosphatidylcholine exhibit poor membrane fusion, cellular uptake and selective targeting capacities. To overcome these limitations, we used Amadori-glycated phosphatidylethanolamine, which is universally present in animals ...
