Acid Sphingomyelinase Regulates the Localization and Trafficking of Palmitoylated Proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In human, loss of Acid Sphingomeylinase (ASM/SMPD1) causes Niemann-Pick Disease, type A. ASM hydrolyzes sphingomyelins to produce ceramides but protein targets of ASM remain largely unclear. ...

The Roles of Membrane Rafts in CD32A-Mediated Phagocytosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Membrane rafts are highly dynamic heterogeneous sterol- and sphingolipid-rich micro-domains on cell surfaces. They are generally believed to provide residency for cell surface molecules (e.g., adhesion and signaling molecules) and scaffolding to ...

Depletion of Host and Viral Sphingomyelin Impairs Influenza Virus Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Influenza A virus (IAV) is a major human respiratory pathogen causing annual epidemics as well as periodic pandemics. A complete understanding of the virus pathogenesis and host factors involved in the viral lifecycle is crucial for developing novel ...

Editorial: Membrane lipids in T cell functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Plasma membrane lipids play essential roles in regulating T cell signaling, differentiation, and effector functions. The major lipid species in the plasma membrane are glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and sterol lipids.

Sphingomyelin synthase overexpression increases cholesterol accumulation and decreases cholesterol secretion in liver cells

open access: yesLipids in Health and Disease, 2011
Background Studies have shown that plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are negatively correlated with the development of atherosclerosis, whereas epidemiological studies have also shown that plasma sphingomyelin level is an independent ...

Morphological and functional status of liver at rats having toxic hepatites during injections of the liposomes loaded by sphingomyelin or ceramide

open access: yesБюллетень сибирской медицины, 2005
At inflammation process development caused by CCl4 morphological and functional research of 200 rats liver tissue was carried out. The liposomes loaded by the components of a sphingomyelin lipid cycle – sphingomyelin and ceramide were administed.

Microcavity supported lipid membranes: versatile platforms for building asymmetric lipid bilayers and for protein recognition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Microcavity supported lipid bilayers (MSLB) are contact-free membranes suspended across aqueousfilled pores that maintain the lipid bilayer in a highly fluidic state and free from frictional interactions with substrate.

A lipid analogue that inhibits sphingomyelin hydrolysis and synthesis, increases ceramide, and leads to cell death

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2005
We report the synthesis and characterization of a novel thiourea derivative of sphingomyelin (AD2765). In vitro assays using pure enzyme and/or cell extracts revealed that this compound inhibited the hydrolysis of BODIPY-conjugated or 14C-labeled ...

How do nematodes transfer phosphorylcholine to carbohydrates? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
An unusual aspect of the biology of nematodes is the attachment of phosphorylcholine (PC) to carbohydrate. The attachment appears to play an important role in nematode development and, in some parasitic species, in immunomodulation.

25-Hydroxycholesterol stimulates sphingomyelin synthesis in Chinese hamster ovary cells.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1995
In several experimental and pathological conditions the cellular concentrations of cholesterol and sphingomyelin (SM) change coordinately. In an effort to identify factors mediating co-regulation, a class of suppressors of cholesterol synthesis ...
