Cytosolic Glucosylceramide regulates endolysosomal function in Niemann-Pick type C disease [PDF]
, 2019 A new paradigm for Niemann-Pick C disease is presented where lysosomal storage leads to a deficit in cytoplasmic glucosylceramide (GlcCer) where it performs important functions.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.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.

Evidence for the involvement of lipid rafts localized at the ER-mitochondria associated membranes in autophagosome formation [PDF]
, 2016 Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) are subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that interact with mitochondria. This membrane scrambling between ER and mitochondria appears to play a critical role in the earliest steps of autophagy.

Systemic dysregulation of apolipoproteins in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis serum
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that damages motor neurons. This study found that people with ALS show significant changes in blood fats and the proteins that carry them. Several apolipoproteins were higher, lipid balances were altered, and normal protein–lipid relationships were disrupted.

Orm2 promotes nitrogen-induced sphingolipid production and endocytosis via Orm1 phosphorylation
Journal of Lipid ResearchThe Orm family of proteins inhibit serine palmitoyltransferase—the enzyme that catalyzes the first step in sphingolipid synthesis. In S. cerevisiae, the two Orm proteins are thought to function redundantly in suppressing sphingolipid production. Here, we
