Protective immune response against Rhodococcus equi: An innate immunity‐focused review
Abstract Rhodococcus equi causes pyogranulomatous pneumonia in foals and immunocompromised people. Despite decades of research efforts, no vaccine is available against this common cause of disease and death in foals. The purpose of this narrative review is to summarise the current understanding of interactions between R. equi and the host innate immune

HS1BP3 negatively regulates autophagy by modulation of phosphatidic acid levels
A fundamental question is how autophagosome formation is regulated. Here we show that the PX domain protein HS1BP3 is a negative regulator of autophagosome formation. HS1BP3 depletion increased the formation of LC3-positive autophagosomes and degradation

Decidualization is the process by which human endometrial stromal cells undergo morphological and functional changes to prepare the uterus for embryo implantation and support pregnancy. Our study identifies the phosphatidic acid‐Src‐FAK‐RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway as a critical regulator of the cytoskeletal alterations required for this transformation.

This study introduces an integrated analytical and bioinformatics platform for high‐throughput tracing of lipid metabolism using bioorthogonal alkyne fatty acids and optimized LC‐MS workflow. Applied to human fibrosarcoma cells, the method traced fatty acid metabolism, revealing nuances in sphingolipid routing and metabolic bottlenecks, highlighting ...

A signal transduction blind spot: the function of adenylyl cyclase transmembrane domains
Transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmACs) are essential for synthesising the universal second messenger cyclic AMP. All tmACs share a common topology that includes a large 12‐helix transmembrane (TM) domain. This domain accounts for ~ 35% of the coding sequence but its function is still an open question.

A comparative study of eicosapentaenoic acid metabolism by human platelets in vivo and in vitro.
During long-term dietary n-3 fatty acid supplementation, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is not incorporated into phosphatidylinositol or -serine of human platelets in vivo and is not detectable in phosphatidic acid upon stimulation with thrombin.

Capping protein modulates the dynamic behavior of actin filaments in response to phosphatidic Acid in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
International audienceRemodeling of actin filament arrays in response to biotic and abiotic stimuli is thought to require precise control over the generation and availability of filament ends.

A Chemoenzymatic Strategy for Imaging Cellular Phosphatidic Acid Synthesis.
Phosphatidic acid (PA) is a potent lipid secondary messenger, the synthesis of which is tightly regulated in both space and time. Established tools for detecting PA involve ex vivo analysis and do not provide information on the subcellular locations ...
