Lipids and membranes [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1974
Today, as in 1964, those who are concerned with membranes are broadly divided into two main groups: investigators who work on lipids and others who study proteins. Whether one pursues mainly this aspect or that is often more the result of individual interest and background rather than the outcome of a decision that one particular aspect of membranes is

Lipidomics in research on yeast membrane lipid homeostasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Mass spectrometry is increasingly used in research on membrane lipid homeostasis, both in analyses of the steady state lipidome at the level of molecular lipid species, and in pulse-chase approaches employing stable isotope-labeled lipid precursors ...

Special Issue on “Sphingolipids: From Pathology to Therapeutic Perspectives”

open access: yesCells, 2020
It is an honor for us to dedicate this Special Issue to our dearest friend Lina Obeid, who was not only a pioneer in the field of sphingolipids, but also a remarkable personality [...]

Membrane lipids and their degradation compounds control GM2 catabolism at intralysosomal luminal vesicles

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2019
The catabolism of ganglioside GM2 is dependent on three gene products. Mutations in any of these genes result in a different type of GM2 gangliosidosis (Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, and the B1 and AB variants of GM2 gangliosidosis), with GM2 as ...

When Is a Reaction Network a Metabolism? Criteria for Simple Metabolisms That Support Growth and Division of Protocells

open access: yesLife, 2021
With the aim of better understanding the nature of metabolism in the first cells and the relationship between the origin of life and the origin of metabolism, we propose three criteria that a chemical reaction system must satisfy in order to constitute a

Membrane lipids regulate ganglioside GM2 catabolism and GM2 activator protein activity[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2015
Ganglioside GM2 is the major lysosomal storage compound of Tay-Sachs disease. It also accumulates in Niemann-Pick disease types A and B with primary storage of SM and with cholesterol in type C.

Physical Concept to Explain the Regulation of Lipid Membrane Phase Separation under Isothermal Conditions

open access: yesLife, 2023
Lateral phase separation within lipid bilayer membranes has attracted considerable attention in the fields of biophysics and cell biology. Living cells organize laterally segregated compartments, such as raft domains in an ordered phase, and regulate ...

Spiroplasma membrane lipids [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1985
Membranes of six spiroplasma strains belonging to different Spiroplasma species and subgroups were isolated by a combination of osmotic lysis and sonication in the presence of EDTA to block endogenous phospholipase activity. Analysis of membrane lipids showed that in addition to free and esterified cholesterol the spiroplasmas incorporated exogenous ...

Partial synthesis of ganglioside and lysoganglioside lipoforms as internal standards for MS quantification

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2014
Within recent years, ganglioside patterns have been increasingly analyzed by MS. However, internal standards for calibration are only available for gangliosides GM1, GM2, and GM3.

Lipids regulate the hydrolysis of membrane bound glucosylceramide by lysosomal β-glucocerebrosidase

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2017
Glucosylceramide (GlcCer) is the primary storage lipid in the lysosomes of Gaucher patients and a secondary one in Niemann-Pick disease types A, B, and C.
