The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The membrane‐bound heme flavoprotein MsrQ is the specific electron donor for the periplasmic methionine sulfoxide reductase MsrP. Analysis of its flavin environment revealed that ubiquinone (UQ) is a cofactor for MsrQ. However, redox studies demonstrate that UQ cannot function as an electron donor for the MsrPQ system.

Cytidine triphosphate:phosphatidic acid cytidyltransferase in Escherichia coli
Journal of Lipid Research, 1968 An enzyme has been found in particulate fractions of Escherichia coli that catalyzes the incorporation of cytidine triphosphate (CTP) into lipid in the presence of exogenous phosphatidic acid and Mg++. The product has been identified enzymatically and by

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.In Arabidopsis, FORMIN HOMOLOGY PROTEIN 5‐labeled secretory vesicles and phosphatidylinositol 4,5‐bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) form a self‐reinforcing loop, where vesicles deliver the phosphatidylinositol 4‐phosphate 5‐kinase AtPIP5K4 to promote PI(4,5)P2 production, which in turn facilitates vesicle attachment to the plasma membrane, highlighting a novel ...

Phosphatidic acid and lipid-sensing by mTOR [PDF]
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2013 Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) has been implicated as a sensor of nutrient sufficiency for dividing cells and is activated by essential amino acids and glucose. However, cells also require lipids for membrane biosynthesis. A central metabolite in the synthesis of membrane phospholipids is phosphatidic acid (PA), which is required for the ...

Luminal Phospholipase D Attacks Bacterial Membranes in Dictyostelium discoideum Phagosomes
Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.This study shows that PldX, a luminal Phospholipase D, is necessary for the efficient destruction of ingested Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria in Dictyostelium discoideum phagosomes. PldX and the AlyL lysozyme together attack the bacterial membrane and permeabilize it. To date, the molecular substrate of PldX remains to be determined. ABSTRACT Phagocytic

Quantitative Analysis of Cellular Diacylglycerol Content
Bio-Protocol, 2014 Diacylglycerol (DAG) is a bioactive lipid with diverse biological roles. DAG transiently accumulates in a membrane upon receipt of an appropriate stimulus that activates phospholipase C to cleave phospholipids.
