Apicoplast-Localized Lysophosphatidic Acid Precursor Assembly Is Required for Bulk Phospholipid Synthesis in Toxoplasma gondii and Relies on an Algal/Plant-Like Glycerol 3-Phosphate Acyltransferase.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2016
Most apicomplexan parasites possess a non-photosynthetic plastid (the apicoplast), which harbors enzymes for a number of metabolic pathways, including a prokaryotic type II fatty acid synthesis (FASII) pathway.

Molecular brakes regulating mTORC1 activation in skeletal muscle following synergist ablation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The goal of the current work was to profile positive (mTORC1 activation, autocrine/paracrine growth factors) and negative [AMPK, unfolded protein response (UPR)] pathways that might regulate overload-induced mTORC1 (mTOR complex 1) activation with the ...

Targeting Seipin to Alleviate Hepatic Steatosis in Zebrafish (Danio Rerio)

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Seipin plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. Seipin overexpression ameliorates high‐fat‐diet‐induced hepatic steatosis and enhances growth in zebrafish. Mechanistically, Seipin interacts with Plin2 to promote Plin2 degradation and enhances phosphatidylcholine synthesis via Seipin/CCTα/CHPT interactions.

Rebaudioside A Enhances Resistance to Oxidative Stress and Extends Lifespan and Healthspan in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2021
Non-nutritive sweeteners are widely used in food and medicines to reduce energy content without compromising flavor. Herein, we report that Rebaudioside A (Reb A), a natural, non-nutritive sweetener, can extend both the lifespan and healthspan of C ...

Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling genes in decapod crustaceans: cloning and tissue expression of mTOR, Akt, Rheb, and S6 kinase in the green crab, Carcinus maenas, and blackback land crab, Gecarcinus lateralis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) controls global translation of mRNA into protein by phosphorylating p70 S6 kinase (S6K) and eIF4E-binding protein-1. Akt and Rheb, a GTP-binding protein, regulate mTOR protein kinase activity. Molting in crustaceans

A Sec14 domain protein is required for photoautotrophic growth and chloroplast vesicle formation in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms, the conversion of solar into chemical energy occurs in thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast. How thylakoid membranes are formed and maintained is poorly understood.

Xylose Metabolism Perturbation in Yarrowia lipolytica for Efficient Succinic Acid Bioproduction from Lignocellulosic Biomass

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study engineers Yarrowia lipolytica to produce succinic acid (SA) from lignocellulosic biomass. Adaptive evolution and multi‐omics analysis identify regulators that alleviate xylose metabolic disorder. Multi‐copy integration of xylose metabolic genes resolves redox imbalances from a futile fatty acid cycle, producing high‐titer SA from corn stover

Characterization of the total lipid and fatty acid composition of rat olfactory mucosa.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1989
Phospholipid accounted for 81% (by weight) of the total lipid of rat olfactory mucosa. Phosphatidylcholine (46% of total phospholipids) and phosphatidylethanolamine (26%) were the predominant phospholipids.

PLD2-PI(4,5)P2 interactions in fluid phase membranes: Structural modeling and molecular dynamics simulations.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Interaction of phospholipase D2 (PLD2) with phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) is regarded as the critical step of numerous physiological processes.

Lipidomic analysis of immune activation in equine leptospirosis and Leptospira-vaccinated horses. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Currently available diagnostic assays for leptospirosis cannot differentiate vaccine from infection serum antibody. Several leptospiral proteins that are upregulated during infection have been described, but their utility as a diagnostic marker is still ...
