Microorganisms, 2021 Genome sequence comparisons to infer likely gene functions require accurate ortholog assignments. In Pseudomonas spp., the sensor-regulator ColS-ColR two-component regulatory system responds to zinc and other metals to control certain membrane-related ...

Lipid and Lipidation in Membrane Fusion
The Journal of Membrane Biology, 2022 Membrane fusion plays a lead role in the transport of vesicles, neurotransmission, mitochondrial dynamics, and viral infection. There are fusion proteins that catalyze and regulate the fusion. Interestingly, various types of fusion proteins are present in nature and they possess diverse mechanisms of action.

The Serine Hydrolase ABHD6 Is a Critical Regulator of the Metabolic Syndrome
Cell Reports, 2013 The serine hydrolase α/β hydrolase domain 6 (ABHD6) has recently been implicated as a key lipase for the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonylglycerol (2-AG) in the brain.

Lipids and lipid metabolism in the eye [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2009 The vertebrate eye is a complex sensory organ consisting of multiple, distinct tissues, each having its own unique biochemical composition, structure, and physiological function. Key among these are the retina, lens, and cornea, working in concert to bring photons of light into the eye, focus them correctly on the retina, and convert their energy into ...

Lipid-Protein and Lipid-Lipid Interactions in the Myelin Sheath [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2011 The myelin sheath, which is produced by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS), enwraps the axons to provide fast conduction of the action potential and to ensure axonal integrity. For the myelin membrane, the most abundant lipids are cholesterol and galactolipids such as galactosylceramide (GalC) and sulfatide(SGC).

Elastic Properties of Lipid Bilayers: Theory and Possible Experiments
Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. Teil C: Biochemie, Biophysik, Biologie, Virologie, 1973 A theory of the elasticity of lipid bilayers is proposed. Three types of strain, i. e. stretching, tilt and curvature, are distinguished and the associated stresses are identified.

CGI-58/ABHD5 is phosphorylated on Ser239 by protein kinase A: control of subcellular localization[S]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2015 CGI-58/ABHD5 coactivates adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL). In adipocytes, CGI-58 binds to perilipin 1A on lipid droplets under basal conditions, preventing interaction with ATGL. Upon activation of protein kinase A (PKA), perilipin 1A is phosphorylated

Poultry Science, 2021 A total of 2622 male broilers were distributed in a 2 × 5 factorial design, using 2 lipid sources (soybean oil and palm fat), 5 levels of vitamin A supplementation (0, 3,000, 6,000, 12,000, and 24,000 IU kg−1), with 10 replicates, and also 1 control diet

Outtakes from My Journey through the World of LIPID MAPS
Molecules, 2022 My laboratory’s research on lipids has focused on phospholipases and lipidomics and in many ways has evolved in parallel to the evolution of the lipid field over the past half century. I have reviewed our research elsewhere.
