Phospholipids of the Thiobacilli [PDF]
Phosphatidyl glycerol, disphosphatidyl glycerol, and phosphatidyl ethanolamine were found in all of the Thiobacillus species studied. T. thioparus possessed only these phospholipids. T. intermedius, T. neapolitanus , and T. thiooxidans contained

Phospholipid synthesis inside phospholipid membrane vesicles
AbstractConstruction of living artificial cells from genes and molecules can expand our understanding of life system and establish a new aspect of bioengineering. However, growth and division of cell membrane that are basis of cell proliferation are still difficult to reconstruct because a high-yielding phospholipid synthesis system has not been ...

The phospholipids of corynebacteria [PDF]
AbstractThe phospholipids ofCorynebacterium diphtheriae, Corynebacterium xerosis, Corynebacterium equi andCorynebacterium ovis were examined, largely by chromatographic procedures. In all of these, lipids of the phosphoinositide and mannophosphoinositide type were prominent.

All lipid transport proteins in eukaryotes are thought to shuttle lipids between cellular membranes. In this issue, Li et al. (2020. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202001161) show that Vps13 has a channel-like domain that may allow lipids to flow between closely apposed membranes at contact sites.

Ten years ago, describing what is new in phospholipid signaling in ten pages of Cell would have been easy; it would have been essentially a summary of the phospho-inositidase C (PIC) story: phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphos-phate (Ptdlns(4,5)P2) hydrolysis to inositiol(1,4,5)trisphos-phate (Ins(1",4,5)P3), with the synergistic action of Ca 2÷(mobilized ...

Protein mediated phospholipid translocation through membranes has been observed in rat liver endoplasmic reticulum and in the plasma membrane of erythrocytes as well as in a few other cell membranes. Lipid translocation in plasma membranes is ATP dependent and selectively accumulates aminophospholipids on the inner monolayers.

Phospholipid Scramblases [PDF]
The distribution of phospholipid types between the two leaflets of a membrane bilayer is a controlled feature of membrane structure. One of the two membrane catalytic activities governing this distribution randomizes the composition of the two leaflets–-the phospholipid scramblases.

Opsin Is a Phospholipid Flippase [PDF]
Polar lipids must flip-flop rapidly across biological membranes to sustain cellular life [1, 2], but flipping is energetically costly [3] and its intrinsic rate is low. To overcome this problem, cells have membrane proteins that function as lipid transporters (flippases) to accelerate flipping to a physiologically relevant rate.

Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
