Sphingolipid biosynthesis and breakdown in yeast share many homologies in their pathways with higher eukaryotes (Dickson, R. C. 1998. Sphingolipid functions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: comparison to mammals. Annu. Rev. Biochem. 67: 27–48).

A lipid‐sensitive food choice behavior influences aging outcomes from a longevity‐promoting diet
C. elegans are exposed to a variety of bacteria in their natural environment and must be able to distinguish between beneficial and detrimental food sources. We show that C. elegans exposed to the bacterium from their natural habitat, Methylobacterium, disrupts lipid homeostasis, causing worms to avoid this bacterial species and choose the laboratory ...

Effect of saposins on acid sphingomyelinase [PDF]
The effect of saposins (A, B, C and D) on acid sphingomyelinase activity was determined using a crude human kidney sphingomyelinase preparation and a purified sphingomyelinase preparation from human placenta. Saposin D stimulated the activity of the crude enzyme by increasing its apparent Km and Vmax. values for sphingomyelin hydrolysis.

ABSTRACT Tenacibaculosis is an important disease of marine fishes caused by bacteria of the genus Tenacibaculum. Pathogenic Tenacibaculum species or serotypes, including Tenacibaculum maritimum, T. dicentrarchi, T. finnmarkense and T. soleae, have been isolated from farmed Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) during disease outbreaks in Aotearoa ...

Case report: The spectrum of SMPD1 pathogenic variants in Hungary
Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase-1 (SMPD1) gene.

Solar‐simulated light (SSL) promotes extracellular vesicle (EV) release from keratinocytes through a UVB‐driven, oxidative stress‐dependent pathway. SSL‐induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generate oxidized glycerophosphocholines with PAF agonistic activity, which activate the Platelet‐activating factor receptor (PAFR), leading to acid ...

Saposin D: A sphingomyelinase activator [PDF]
Saposin D, a newly discovered heat-stable, 10 kDa glycoprotein, was isolated from Gaucher spleen and purified to homogeneity. Chemical sequencing from its amino terminus demonstrated colinearity between its amino acid sequence and the deduced amino acid sequence of the fourth domain of prosaposin, the precursor of saposin proteins.

In hepatocytes, aging-associated decline in GSH has been linked to activation of neutral SMase (nSMase), accumulation of bioactive ceramide, and inflammation. In this study, we seek to test whether dietary supplementation with the cysteine precursor, L-2-
