LIPA gene mutations affect the composition of lipoproteins: Enrichment in ACAT-derived cholesteryl esters [PDF]
Cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) due to LIPA gene mutations is characterized by hepatic steatosis, hypercholesterolemia and hypoalphalipoproteinemia, exposing affected patients to an increased cardiovascular risk. Further insights into the impact of LIPA gene mutations on lipid/lipoprotein metabolism are limited.

Study on the bio-function of lipA gene in Aspergillus flavus
Genes and Genomics, 2018Lipoic acid synthase (LipA) plays a role in lipoic acid synthesis and potentially affects the levels of acetyl-CoA, the critical precursor of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Considering the potential effect of LipA on TCA cycle, whether the enzyme is involved in the growth and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) biosynthesis, the significant events in Aspergillus ...

The lipA gene of Serratia marcescens which encodes an extracellular lipase having no N-terminal signal peptide. [PDF]
The lipA gene encoding an extracellular lipase was cloned from the wild-type strain of Serratia marcescens Sr41. Nucleotide sequencing showed a major open reading frame encoding a 64.9-kDa protein of 613 amino acid residues; the deduced amino acid sequence contains a lipase consensus sequence, GXSXG.

Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease (CESD) due to novel mutations in the LIPA gene
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2009Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease (CESD) is a rare recessive disorder due to mutations in LIPA gene encoding the lysosomal acidic lipase (LAL). CESD patients have liver disease associated with mixed hyperlipidemia and low plasma levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL).

Background: The LIPA gene encodes for lysosomal acid lipase (LAL), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of cholesterol esters and triglycerides. Variations in the LIPA gene impair LAL activity, predisposing patients to a rare metabolic disorder called LAL deficiency (LAL-D). The lack of functioning LAL promotes lipid accumulation and subsequent dyslipidemia,

Regulation of lipA Gene Expression by Cell Surface Proteins in Arthrobacter photogonimos
Current Microbiology, 1999Expression of the light-inducible lipA gene in Arthrobacter photogonimos by photodynamic compounds and visible light was inhibited by washing cells with 1 M KCl. Addition of cell surface extract to KCl-washed cells restored the induction. Washing cells with 1 M MgCl2 removed a 14-kDa polypeptide and concomitantly caused expression of lipA gene without ...

A novel missense LIPA gene mutation, N98S, in a patient with cholesteryl ester storage disease
Clinica Chimica Acta, 2008Lysosomal acid lipase plays an important role in maintaining cellular cholesterol homeostasis. Complete absence of lysosomal acid lipase activity results in Wolman disease and usually death in infancy, whereas partial deficiency of lysosomal acid lipase results in cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD).
