Inositols in Insulin Signaling and Glucose Metabolism [PDF]
In the past decades, both the importance of inositol for human health and the complex interaction between glucose and inositol have been the subject of increasing consideration. Glucose has been shown to interfere with cellular transmembrane transport of

Identification and characterization of insulin-like growth factor receptors on adult rat cardiac myocytes: linkage to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation. [PDF]
Cultured cardiac myocytes from adult Sprague-Dawley rats express both insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) receptors and insulin-like growth factor-II/mannose 6-phosphate (IGF-II/Man6P) receptors and respond to IGF-I with a dose-dependent accumulation of

Type I Phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-Kinases Synthesize the Novel Lipids Phosphatidylinositol 3,5-Bisphosphate and Phosphatidylinositol 5-Phosphate [PDF]
Inositol phospholipids regulate a variety of cellular processes including proliferation, survival, vesicular trafficking, and cytoskeletal organization. Recently, two novel phosphoinositides, phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns-3,5-P2) and phosphatidylinositol- 5-phosphate (PtdIns-5-P), have been shown to exist in cells.

A Computational Study and Parameterisation of Phosphatidylinositol Phosphates for Lipid Simulations with AMBER [PDF]
Phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) are membrane phospholipids that play crucial roles in a wide range of cellular functions. However, there is a dearth of experimental data in the literature on PIPs because their investigations are not always feasible and often prohibitively expensive.

Aqueous Contact Ion Pairs of Phosphate Groups with Na$^+$, Ca$^{2+}$ and Mg$^{2+}$ -- Structural Discrimination by Femtosecond Infrared Spectroscopy and Molecular Dynamics Simulations [PDF]
The extent of contact and solvent shared ion pairs of phosphate groups with Na$^+$, Ca$^{2+}$ and Mg$^{2+}$ ions in aqueous environment and their relevance for the stability of polyanionic DNA and RNA structures is highly debated. Employing the asymmetric phosphate stretching vibration of dimethyl phosphate (DMP), a model system of the sugar-phosphate ...

The Arabidopsis Synaptotagmin1 is enriched in endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane contact sites and confers cellular resistance to mechanical stresses [PDF]
Eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-plasma membrane (PM) contact sites are evolutionarily conserved microdomains that have important roles in specialized metabolic functions such as ER-PM communication, lipid homeostasis, and Ca2+ influx.

Increased liver content of DHA‐derived small lipid autacoids (i.e resolvin D1 and maresin 1) associates with enhanced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid β‐oxidation and bioenergetic metabolic flux. These features provide hepatic protection from steatotic, pro‐inflammatory and fibrogenic insults.

The phosphatidylinositol 3‐phosphate‐binding FYVE finger [PDF]
The FYVE zinc finger domain is conserved from yeast (five proteins) to man (27 proteins). It functions in the membrane recruitment of cytosolic proteins by binding to phosphatidylinositol 3‐phosphate (PI3P), which is found mainly on endosomes. Here we review recent work that sheds light on the targeting of FYVE finger proteins to PI3P‐containing ...

CHIN117 is a dual cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CYSLTR1) antagonist and G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) agonist. In the liver, GPBAR1 and CYSLTR1 are coexpressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), HSCs, circulating monocytes/macrophages, and liver resident macrophages (Kupffer cells).

Inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase is a distant IPK member with a singular inositide binding site for axial 2-OH recognition [PDF]
Inositol phosphates (InsPs) are signaling molecules with multiple roles in cells. In particular Graphic (InsP6) is involved in mRNA export and editing or chromatin remodeling among other events.
