Chemical proteomics: a powerful tool for exploring protein lipidation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The study of post-translational modifications such as protein lipidation is a non-trivial challenge of the post-genomic era. In recent years the field of chemical proteomics has greatly advanced our ability to identify and quantify protein lipidation. In

Biochemical and Structural Characterization of the Atg8/LC3 Lipidation Pathway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Atg8 and its eukaryotic orthologues LC3 and GARBARAP family proteins (referred here to Atg8 family proteins) play crucial roles in autophagy through their covalent ligation to lipids, typically phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), in a process known as ...

Cell biology of protein–lipid conjugation

open access: yesCell Structure and Function, 2023
Protein–lipid conjugation is a widespread modification involved in many biological processes. Various lipids, including fatty acids, isoprenoids, sterols, glycosylphosphatidylinositol, sphingolipids, and phospholipids, are covalently linked with proteins.

Reconstitution of cargo-induced LC3 lipidation in mammalian selective autophagy

open access: yes, 2021
Selective autophagy of damaged mitochondria, protein aggregates, and other cargoes is essential for health. Cargo initiates phagophore biogenesis, which entails the conjugation of LC3 to phosphatidylethanolamine.

Application of N-Dodecyl l-Peptide to Enhance Serum Stability while Maintaining Inhibitory Effects on Myometrial Contractions Ex Vivo

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
N-Alkylation and N-acylation of the prostaglandin-F2α allosteric modulator l-PDC31 were performed to install various alkyl, PEG and isoprenoid groups onto the l-enantiomer of the peptide.

Examining the Underappreciated Role of S-Acylated Proteins as Critical Regulators of Phagocytosis and Phagosome Maturation in Macrophages

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Phagocytosis is a receptor-mediated process used by cells to engulf a wide variety of particulates, including microorganisms and apoptotic cells. Many of the proteins involved in this highly orchestrated process are post-translationally modified with ...

Global profiling of protein lipidation using chemical proteomic technologies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Protein lipidation is unique amongst post-translational modifications (PTMs) in enabling direct interaction with cell membranes, and is found in every form of life.

Lipids and lipid metabolism in the eye [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

The Lipids

open access: yes, 2003
From chapter introduction: Students entering the field of fish nutrition might be forgiven for forming two impressions. First, is the impression that because publications on lipids often dominate research journals and conference proceedings on fish nutrition, lipids are the most important nutrients for fish. They are not.
