Peptide lipidation in lysophospholipid micelles and lysophospholipid-enriched membranes
Faraday Discussions, 2021 Acyl transfer to a membrane-associated peptide from both lysolipids and lipids occurs readily, leading to the generation of a lipidated peptide that adopts secondary structure in the absence of lipids.

Synthesis of Lysophospholipids [PDF]
Molecules, 2010 New synthetic methods for the preparation of biologically active phospholipids and lysophospholipids (LPLs) are very important in solving problems of membrane–chemistry and biochemistry. Traditionally considered just as second-messenger molecules regulating intracellular signalling pathways, LPLs have recently shown to be involved in many physiological

Substrate-Specific Inhibition Constants for Phospholipase A2 Acting on Unique Phospholipid Substrates in Mixed Micelles and Membranes Using Lipidomics. [PDF]
, 2019 Assaying lipolytic enzymes is extremely challenging because they act on water-insoluble lipid substrates, which are normally components of micelles, vesicles, and cellular membranes.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors: do they have a therapeutic potential in cardiac fibrosis? [PDF]
, 2017 Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that is characterized by a peculiar mechanism of action. In fact, S1P, which is produced inside the cell, can act as an intracellular mediator, whereas after its export outside the cell, it can act as ...

Group 1B phospholipase A2 deficiency protects against diet-induced hyperlipidemia in mice
Journal of Lipid Research, 2011 Excessive absorption of products of dietary fat digestion leads to type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related disorders. Mice deficient in the group 1B phospholipase A2 (Pla2g1b), a gut digestive enzyme, are protected against diet-induced obesity and type

Identification of ApoA4 as a sphingosine 1-phosphate chaperone in ApoM- and albumin-deficient mice
Journal of Lipid Research, 2019 HDL-bound ApoM and albumin are protein chaperones for the circulating bioactive lipid, sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P); in this role, they support essential extracellular S1P signaling functions in the vascular and immune systems. We previously showed that
