The milk fat globule size governs a physiological switch for biofilm formation by Bacillus subtilis

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2022
Milk lipids are organized in the form of milk fat globules (MFG), ranging in size from 0. 1 to 15 μm. The MFG size is closely associated with the composition of fatty acids, polar lipids, sphingolipids, cholesterol and the content of the MFG membrane ...

Conditional targeting of phosphatidylserine decarboxylase to lipid droplets

open access: yesBiology Open, 2021
Phosphatidylethanolamine is an abundant component of most cellular membranes whose physical and chemical properties modulate multiple aspects of organelle membrane dynamics. An evolutionarily ancient mechanism for producing phosphatidylethanolamine is to

ABCA4 is an N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylethanolamine importer [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2012
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters comprise a superfamily of proteins, which actively transport a variety of compounds across cell membranes. Mammalian and most eukaryotic ABC transporters function as exporters, flipping or extruding substrates from the cytoplasmic to the extracellular or lumen side of cell membranes.

Porin 1 Modulates Autophagy in Yeast

open access: yesCells, 2021
Autophagy is a cellular recycling program which efficiently reduces the cellular burden of ageing. Autophagy is characterised by nucleation of isolation membranes, which grow in size and further expand to form autophagosomes, engulfing cellular material ...

Genome Analysis of a Variant of Streptomyces coelicolor M145 with High Lipid Content and Poor Ability to Synthetize Antibiotics

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Streptomyces coelicolor M145 is a model strain extensively studied to elucidate the regulation of antibiotic biosynthesis in Streptomyces species. This strain abundantly produces the blue polyketide antibiotic, actinorhodin (ACT), and has a low lipid ...

Alterations of Sphingolipid and Phospholipid Pathways and Ornithine Level in the Plasma as Biomarkers of Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesCells, 2022
The biomarkers of Parkinson’s disease (PD) remain to be investigated. This work aimed to identify blood biomarkers for PD using targeted metabolomics analysis.

Membranes linked by trans-SNARE complexes require lipids prone to non-bilayer structure for progression to fusion

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Like other intracellular fusion events, the homotypic fusion of yeast vacuoles requires a Rab GTPase, a large Rab effector complex, SNARE proteins which can form a 4-helical bundle, and the SNARE disassembly chaperones Sec17p and Sec18p.

Aminophospholipid glycation and its inhibitor screening system: a new role of pyridoxal 5′-phosphate as the inhibitor

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2006
Peroxidized phospholipid-mediated cytotoxity is involved in the pathophysiology of a number of diseases [i.e., the abnormal increase of phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide (PCOOH) found in the plasma of type 2 diabetic patients]. The PCOOH accumulation may
