Structural insights into the committed step of bacterial phospholipid biosynthesis
The first step in bacterial phospholipid biosynthesis is the acylation of glycerol 3-phosphate to form lysophosphatidic acid. Here, the authors present the high resolution crystal structure of the glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase PlsY, a membrane ...

Untargeted Lipidomic Analysis to Broadly Characterize the Effects of Pathogenic and Non-Pathogenic Staphylococci on Mammalian Lipids [PDF]
Modification of the host lipidome via secreted enzymes is an integral, but often overlooked aspect of bacterial pathogenesis. In the current era of prevalent antibiotic resistance, knowledge regarding critical host pathogen lipid interactions has the ...

Lysophosphatidic acid receptors in cancer pathobiology.
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptors (LPA₁ to LPA₆) are G protein-coupled transmembrane and mediate a variety of biological responses through the binding of LPA, such as cell proliferation, migration, morphogenesis and differentiation. Previously, high secretion levels of LPA were found in blood and ascites from patients with aggressive ovarian cancer.

Insights Into circRNA‐Mediated Lipid Metabolism in Cancer Progression
ABSTRACT Lipid metabolism reprogramming is one of the most prominent characteristics of cancer, but it is still unclear which regulatory pathways underlie this process in cancer cells. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) represent a novel category of non‐coding RNAs with multifaceted regulatory functions. While the biological roles of circRNAs in cancer have been

Tks4‐Targeted Gene Therapy Inhibited White Adipocyte Hypertrophy in Mice
Tks4 knockout or knockdown by AAV mediated shRNA both successfully restricted adipocyte hypertrophy in high fat diet. The reduction of TAG was validated by biochemistry and lipidomics analyses. This study suggested a potential of Tks4 targeted therapy in obesity intervention. ABSTRACT Obesity is one of the most prevalent public health issues worldwide,

Lysophosphatidic acid (1-acyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidic acid; LPA) is a simple and minor phospholipid in plants. Plant LPAs are merely metabolic intermediates in de novo lipid synthesis in plant cell membranes or for glycerophospholipid storage.

The Role of Lysophosphatidic Acid in Neuropsychiatric and Neurodegenerative Disorders
Individuals suffering from diverse neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders often have comparable symptoms, which may underline the implication of shared hereditary influences and the same biological processes.

Effect of Energy Metabolism on NF-kB activity in Ovarian Cancer [PDF]
NF-kB is a transcription factor involved in cancer cell growth and survival. The activation of NF-kB can be assessed by monitoring phosphorylation of RelA p65 at Ser-536, which is a surrogate of the NF-kB transcription factor activation. The objective of

Knowledge Graph Completion to Predict Polypharmacy Side Effects
The polypharmacy side effect prediction problem considers cases in which two drugs taken individually do not result in a particular side effect; however, when the two drugs are taken in combination, the side effect manifests. In this work, we demonstrate

Decreased plasma gelsolin in the COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential roles of plasma gelsolin (pGSN), transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1), and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) as profibrotic and immune modulatory markers in patients with acute respiratory distress ...
