BIOSYNTHESIS OF PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL [PDF]
Interest in our laboratory in the inositol lipids derives from the presence of relatively high amounts of phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PhIP) and phosphatidylinositol diphosphate (PhIPP) in excitable tissue. It was with this relationship in mind that we embarked on a study of biosynthetic pathways of inositol lipids several years ago. A first step in

Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases [PDF]
Polyphosphoinositides are involved in many signal transduction pathways in eukaryotic cells. The first committed step is catalysed by phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase leading to the formation of phosphatidylinositol 4‐phosphate. In the last four years, ten cDNA molecules have been cloned which code isoforms of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase; some of which ...

Function of Phosphatidylinositol in Mycobacteria [PDF]
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is an abundant phospholipid in the cytoplasmic membrane of mycobacteria and the precursor for more complex glycolipids, such as the PI mannosides (PIMs) and lipoarabinomannan (LAM). To investigate whether the large steady-state pools of PI and apolar PIMs are required for mycobacterial growth, we have generated a Mycobacterium

Maturation of fetal alveolar type II epithelial cells in utero is characterized by specific changes to lung surfactant phospholipids. Here, we quantified the effects of hormonal differentiation in vitro on the molecular specificity of cellular and ...

Drosophila Lipase 3 Mediates the Metabolic Response to Starvation and Aging
The human LIPA gene encodes for the enzyme lysosomal acid lipase, which hydrolyzes cholesteryl ester and triacylglycerol. Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency results in Wolman disease and cholesteryl ester storage disease.

Isolated mitochondria cannot synthesize their own phospholipids, there is only an exchange between exogenous and mitochondrial phospholipid fatty acids.

Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is essential for the well-being of humans and other animals. People may lack GLA because of aging or diseases, and thus, dietary supplements or medical reagents containing GLA-enriched lipids are in demand.

The mutualistic cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbiosis underpins the evolutionary success of stony corals and the persistence of coral reefs. However, a molecular understanding of the signalling events that lead to the successful establishment and ...

Phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate and Phosphatidylinositol(4)phosphate in Plant Tissues [PDF]
Pea (Pisum sativum) leaf discs or swimming suspensions of Chlamydomonas eugametos were radiolabeled with [(3)H]myo-inositol or [(32)P]Pi and the lipids were extracted, deacylated, and their glycerol moieties removed. The resulting inositol trisphosphate and bisphosphate fractions were examined by periodate degradation, reduction and dephosphorylation ...
