Multiplexed Host-Induced Gene Silencing of Aspergillus flavus Genes Confers Aflatoxin Resistance in Groundnut

open access: yesToxins, 2023
Aflatoxins are immunosuppressive and carcinogenic secondary metabolites, produced by the filamentous ascomycete Aspergillus flavus, that are hazardous to animal and human health.

Functional characterisation of the lipid raft protein stomatin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The function of the integral membrane protein stomatin is as yet poorly understood. Stomatin is deficient from the erythrocyte membrane of patients suffering with Overhydrated Hereditary Stomatocytosis (OHSt).

A prosaposin-derived Peptide alleviates kainic Acid-induced brain injury. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Four sphingolipid activator proteins (i.e., saposins A-D) are synthesized from a single precursor protein, prosaposin (PS), which exerts exogenous neurotrophic effects in vivo and in vitro.

Sphingolipid and ceramide homeostasis : potential therapeutic targets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Sphingolipids are ubiquitous in eukaryotic cells where they have been attributed a plethora of functions from the formation of structural domains to polarized cellular trafficking and signal transduction.

Functional analysis of TOR complex 2 and its control of sphingolipid biosynthesis in "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
sphingoid base, one of the intermediate of sphingolipids metabolites, plays a key role as a signaling molecule which activate PKH kinases and its substrates YPKs and PKC1 (Casamayor, Torrance et al. 1999; Friant, Lombardi et al.

Membrane-spanning lipids for an uncompromised monitoring of membrane fusion and intermembrane lipid transfer

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2015
A Förster resonance energy transfer-based fusion and transfer assay was developed to study, in model membranes, protein-mediated membrane fusion and intermembrane lipid transfer of fluorescent sphingolipid analogs.

Seminolipid and its precursor/degradative product, galactosylalkylacylglycerol, in the testis of saposin A- and prosaposin-deficient mice

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2003
Sphingolipid activator proteins (saposins A, B, C, and D) are derived from a common precursor protein (prosaposin) and specifically activate in vivo degradation of glycolipids with short carbohydrate chains.

Genetic Determinants of Circulating Sphingolipid Concentrations in European Populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Sphingolipids have essential roles as structural components of cell membranes and in cell signalling, and disruption of their metabolism causes several diseases, with diverse neurological, psychiatric, and metabolic consequences.

Selective reduction of bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate ameliorates the storage burden in a THP-1 macrophage model of Gaucher disease

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2013
Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP) assists lysosomal function by facilitating interaction of hydrolases and activator proteins with sphingolipid substrates.

Simultaneous deficiency of sphingolipid activator proteins 1 and 2 is caused by a mutation in the initiation codon of their common gene.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1992
Sphingolipid activator proteins (SAPs) are small, nonenzymic glycoproteins that stimulate lysosomal degradation of various sphingolipids. SAP-1, SAP-2, and two additional potential activator proteins are derived from a common precursor by proteolytic ...
