Shotgun Lipidomics Revealed Altered Profiles of Serum Lipids in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Closely Associated with Disease Activity

Biomolecules, 2018
The pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains elusive. It appears that serum lipid metabolism is aberrant in SLE patients. Determination of lipid profiles in the serum of SLE patients may provide insights into the underlying mechanism(s)

Blue light regenerates functional visual pigments in mammals through a retinyl-phospholipid intermediate. [PDF]

, 2017
The light absorbing chromophore in opsin visual pigments is the protonated Schiff base of 11-cis-retinaldehyde (11cRAL). Absorption of a photon isomerizes 11cRAL to all-trans-retinaldehyde (atRAL), briefly activating the pigment before it dissociates ...

Phosphatidylethanolamine Metabolism in Health and Disease [PDF]

, 2016
Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is the second most abundant glycerophospholipid in eukaryotic cells. The existence of four only partially redundant biochemical pathways that produce PE, highlights the importance of this essential phospholipid. The CDP-ethanolamine and phosphatidylserine decarboxylase pathways occur in different subcellular compartments ...

N-aldehyde-modified phosphatidylethanolamines generated by lipid peroxidation are robust substrates of N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D

Journal of Lipid Research
N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D (NAPE-PLD) hydrolyzes phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) where the headgroup nitrogen has been enzymatically modified with acyl chains of four carbons or longer (N-acyl-PEs or NAPEs).

Untargeted Lipidomic Analysis to Broadly Characterize the Effects of Pathogenic and Non-Pathogenic Staphylococci on Mammalian Lipids [PDF]

, 2018
Modification of the host lipidome via secreted enzymes is an integral, but often overlooked aspect of bacterial pathogenesis. In the current era of prevalent antibiotic resistance, knowledge regarding critical host pathogen lipid interactions has the ...

Phosphatidylethanolamine and Lysophosphatidylethanolamine

Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1963
Abstract Phosphatidylethanolamine and Lysophosphatidylethanolamine belong to a group of phospholipids generally termed cephalins. The phospholipids are universally distributed among living organisms and are thought to be essential components of cell membranes.

Suppression of Raf-1 kinase activity and MAP kinase signalling by RKIP [PDF]

, 1999
Raf-1 phosphorylates and activates MEK-1, a kinase that activates the extracellular signal regulated kinases (ERK). This kinase cascade controls the proliferation and differentiation of different cell types.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

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

eLife, 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.
