Characterization of Phosphatidylserine Transport to the Locus of Phosphatidylserine Decarboxylase 2 in Permeabilized Yeast [PDF]
In yeast, nascent phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) can be transported to the mitochondria and Golgi/vacuole for decarboxylation to synthesize phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn). In strains with a psd1Delta allele for the mitochondrial PtdSer decarboxylase, the conversion of nascent PtdSer to PtdEtn can serve as an indicator of lipid transport to the locus of

Analysis of Jmjd6 cellular localization and testing for its involvement in histone demethylation. [PDF]
Methylation of residues in histone tails is part of a network that regulates gene expression. JmjC domain containing proteins catalyze the oxidative removal of methyl groups on histone lysine residues.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

ANALYSIS OF PLASMA MEMBRANE INEGRITY BY USING OF FLUORESCEIN LABELED ANNEXIN V AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO MOTILITY AND VIABILITY OF RAM SPERM AFTER CRYOPRESERVATION [PDF]
The present study was conducted to detect sperm apoptosis in fresh, capacitated and frozen ram semen and to determine its relationship with other seminal parameters as motility and viability.

Interaction between Phosphatidylserine and the Phosphatidylserine Receptor Inhibits Immune Responses In Vivo [PDF]
Abstract Phosphatidylserine (PS) on apoptotic cells promotes their uptake and induces anti-inflammatory responses in phagocytes, including TGF-β release. Little is known regarding the effects of PS on adaptive immune responses. We therefore investigated the effects of PS-containing liposomes on immune responses in mice in vivo.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

The effect of manipulating apoptotic cell uptake on their immunogenicity [PDF]
Failure of the immune system to differentiate between apoptotic tumour cells and cells rendered apoptotic as part of homeostasis prevents a successful response being mounted against tumours.

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an essential phospholipid and an emerging biomarker involved in key biological processes. While annexin V (axV) is the most widely used tool for PS detection, its calcium-dependent binding and other limitations have spurred ...
