Hepatic deletion of Mboat7 (LPIAT1) causes activation of SREBP-1c and fatty liver
: Genetic variants that increase the risk of fatty liver disease and cirrhosis have recently been identified in the proximity of membrane-bound O-acyltransferase domain-containing 7 (MBOAT7).

The synthesis of phospholipids relies on a sort of genes, whose promoter regions contain inositol-sensitive upstream activation sequence (UASINO) and are regulated by the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-type ino2/ino4 transcription factor (TF) pair.

Plasma Membrane Phosphatidylinositol 4-Phosphate Is Necessary for Virulence of Candida albicans
Phosphatidylinositol lipids regulate key processes, including vesicle trafficking and cell polarity. A recent study identified novel roles for phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) in the plasma membrane of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans ...

A Role for Phosphoinositides in Regulating Plant Nuclear Functions
Nuclear localized inositol phospholipids and inositol phosphates are important for regulating many essential processes in animal cells such as DNA replication, recombination, RNA processing, mRNA export and cell cycle progression.

Mammalian Phosphatidylinositol 4‐Kinases [PDF]
AbstractThree phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase isoforms, PI4K 230, 92 and 55 have been cloned and sequenced allowing a much wider characterization than the previously employed enzymological typing into type II and III enzymes. PI4K 230 and 92 contain a highly conserved catalytic core, PI4K55 one with a much lower degree of similarity.

CDP-diacylglycerol synthases regulate the growth of lipid droplets and adipocyte development[S]
The expansion of lipid droplets (LDs) and the differentiation of preadipocytes are two important aspects of mammalian lipid storage. In this study, we examined the role of CDP-diacylglycerol (DAG) synthases (CDSs), encoded by CDS1 and CDS2 genes in ...

Recognizing Phosphatidylinositol 3-Phosphate [PDF]
Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate directs the endosomal localization of regulatory proteins by binding to FYVE and PX domains. New structures of these domains complexed with the phosphoinositide headgroup show how interactions with phosphate and hydroxyl groups differentiate this lipid from all others.
