Isolation and characterization of a phospholipase A2 from an inflammatory exudate

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1978
Sterile peritoneal exudates produced in rabbits injected with 1% glycogen contain a phospholipase A activity in a cell-free supernatant fraction that hydrolyzed a synthetic phospholipid (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-ethanolamine) and phospholipids of ...

Substrate-Specific Inhibition Constants for Phospholipase A2 Acting on Unique Phospholipid Substrates in Mixed Micelles and Membranes Using Lipidomics. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Assaying lipolytic enzymes is extremely challenging because they act on water-insoluble lipid substrates, which are normally components of micelles, vesicles, and cellular membranes.

A Conserved Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane Protein Complex (EMC) Facilitates Phospholipid Transfer from the ER to Mitochondria

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2014
Tethering of the endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria by a conserved endoplasmic reticulum complex is needed for the transfer of phospholipids between these organelles.

Role of lipids in the structure and function of biological membranes

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1966
The concept of biological membranes as vesicular or tubular continua built up of nesting repeating units has been systematically explored and some of the relevant experimental work has been assembled.

Lipid Transporters Beam Signals from Cell Membranes

open access: yesMembranes, 2021
Lipid composition in cellular membranes plays an important role in maintaining the structural integrity of cells and in regulating cellular signaling that controls functions of both membrane-anchored and cytoplasmic proteins.

The prolate-to-oblate shape transition of phospholipid vesicles in response to frequency variation of an AC electric field can be explained by the dielectric anisotropy of a phospholipid bilayer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The external electric field deforms flaccid phospholipid vesicles into spheroidal bodies, with the rotational axis aligned with its direction. Deformation is frequency dependent: in the low frequency range (~ 1 kHz), the deformation is typically prolate,

Formation of malonaldehyde from phospholipid arachidonate during microsomal lipid peroxidation.

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1968
The thiobarbituric acid reacting material produced during enzymatic microsomal lipid peroxidation has been identified as malonaldehyde. The malonaldehyde was condensed with urea to form 2-hydroxy-pyrimidine, which was identified by its ultraviolet ...

The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.
