A Computational Study and Parameterisation of Phosphatidylinositol Phosphates for Lipid Simulations with AMBER [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
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.

In silico Modeling of Itk Activation Kinetics in Thymocytes Suggests Competing Positive and Negative IP4 Mediated Feedbacks Increase Robustness [PDF]

open access: yesPLOS ONE, Vol 8, Issue 9, Page e73937, September 2013, 2013
The inositol-phosphate messenger inositol(1,3,4,5)tetrakisphosphate (IP4) is essential for thymocyte positive selection by regulating plasma-membrane association of the protein tyrosine kinase Itk downstream of the T cell receptor (TCR). IP4 can act as a soluble analog of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) membrane lipid product phosphatidylinositol ...

The structure, biosynthesis and function of glycosylated phosphatidylinositols in the parasitic protozoa and higher eukaryotes.

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1993
INTRODUCTION The protozoa are the most diverse and amongst the most ancient group of organisms in the eukaryotic kingdom (Sogin et al., 1989). Many of their members are parasitic and some, like those belonging to the family Trypanosomatidae (African ...

Toxoplasma gondii major surface antigen (SAG1): in vitro analysis of host cell binding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Previous studies have indicated that SAG1, the major surface molecule of the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, is an important attachment ligand for the host cell.

Mammalian Phosphatidylinositol 4‐Kinases [PDF]

open access: yesIUBMB Life, 2003
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.

Lipid Polarization during Cytokinesis

open access: yesCells, 2022
The plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells is composed of a large number of lipid species that are laterally segregated into functional domains as well as asymmetrically distributed between the outer and inner leaflets.

Akt phosphorylation of merlin enhances its binding to phosphatidylinositols and inhibits the tumor-suppressive activities of merlin.

open access: yesCancer Research, 2009
The NF2 tumor suppressor gene encodes an intracellular membrane-associated protein, called merlin, which belongs to the band 4.1 family of cytoskeleton-associated proteins that link cell surface glycoproteins to the actin cytoskeleton.

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulation of fluid phase endocytosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Endocytosis of the fluid phase marker, horse radish peroxidase, into baby hamster kidney cells is inhibited by treatment of cells with the fungal metabolite wortmannin.

Molecular structure of the "low molecular weight antigen" of Toxoplasma gondii: a glucose alpha 1-4 N-acetylgalactosamine makes free glycosyl-phosphatidylinositols highly immunogenic.

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Biology, 1997
Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous parasitic protozoan causing congenital infection and severe encephalitis in the course of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Glycosyl-phosphatidylinositols of T.

Untargeted Lipidomics and Chemometric Tools for the Characterization and Discrimination of Irradiated Camembert Cheese Analyzed by UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS

open access: yesFoods, 2023
In this work, an investigation using UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS and multivariate statistics was conducted to obtain the lipid fingerprint of Camembert cheese and to explore its correlated variation with respect to X-ray irradiation treatment.
