Patatin‐domain‐containing (phospho)lipases under control: Mammalian co‐regulators and pathogenic activation mechanisms

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 279-298, February 2026.
Patatin domain‐containing (phospho)lipases are lipid‐hydrolyzing enzymes central to metabolism, membrane remodeling, and signaling. Their activity relies on precise co‐activation mechanisms involving protein–protein interactions and conformational rearrangements.

Lysophospholipids Facilitate COPII Vesicle Formation [PDF]

Current Biology, 2018
Coat protein complex II (COPII) proteins form vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum to export cargo molecules to the Golgi apparatus. Among the many proteins involved in this process, Sec12 is a key regulator, functioning as the guanosine diphosphate (GDP) exchange factor for Sar1p, the small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) that initiates COPII ...

Lipidomic Analysis of Plasma Extracellular Vesicles from Adiponectin Deficient Mice or Metabolic Syndrome Patients Reveals Pro‐Oxidative and Pro‐Inflammatory Lipid Signatures Correlating with Metabolic Dysfunction

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
Adiponectin deficiency remodels the lipid composition of plasma extracellular vesicles (EV), enriching polyunsaturated phospholipids and reducing lysophospholipids. These remodelled EV impact oxidative, inflammatory and metabolic function in recipient cells.

What do we know about the transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) ion channel? [PDF]

, 2013
Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are emerging as a new set of membrane proteins involved in a vast array of cellular processes and regulated by a large number of physical and chemical stimuli, which involves them with sensory cell ...

The many dimeric faces of Lys49 PLA2‐like proteins: Conformational plasticity and membrane binding drive functional dimer states

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Lys49 secreted phospholipase A2‐like proteins (sPLA2s) are major myotoxins in viperid snake venoms, causing rapid muscle damage in envenomation. Beyond their clinical relevance, these small non‐catalytic proteins provide a model to study how quaternary structure and conformational dynamics enable catalysis‐independent membrane disruption ...

Diversity of FAAL enzymes and prediction of their substrate specificity using FAALPred

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract FAALs (fatty acyl‐AMP ligases) recruit and incorporate fatty acids during the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Their diversity, distribution, and substrate specificity remain poorly understood, which limits functional predictions from sequence data.

Intestinal barrier tightening by a cell-penetrating antibody to Bin1, a candidate target for immunotherapy of ulcerative colitis. [PDF]

, 2018
Patients afflicted with ulcerative colitis (UC) are at increased risk of colorectal cancer. While its causes are not fully understood, UC is associated with defects in colonic epithelial barriers that sustain inflammation of the colon mucosa caused by ...

Lysophospholipid G Protein-coupled Receptors [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004
The many biological responses documented for lysophospholipids that include lysophosphatidic acid and sphingosine 1-phosphate can be mechanistically attributed to signaling through specific G protein-coupled receptors. At least nine receptors have now been identified, and the total number is likely to be larger.

The Crystal Structure of Human Transport and Golgi Organization 2 Homolog (TANGO2) Protein Reveals an αββα‐Fold Arrangement

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 2, Page 515-528, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Transport and Golgi Organization 2 Homolog (TANGO2) protein deficiency disorder (TDD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by multi‐systemic abnormalities and significant phenotypic variability including neurodevelopmental delay, seizures, intermittent ataxia, hypothyroidism, rhabdomyolysis, life‐threatening metabolic ...
