Thematic Review Series: Sphingolipids. ISC1 (inositol phosphosphingolipid-phospholipase C), the yeast homologue of neutral sphingomyelinases*

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2008
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

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
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]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1993
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.

Cytotoxicity Profiling of Tenacibaculum Extracellular Products on Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Gill Cell Line, OTgill1PFR

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
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 ...

High binding affinity of electronegative LDL to human aortic proteoglycans depends on its aggregation level[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2009
Electronegative LDL [LDL(−)] is an atherogenic subfraction of plasma LDL that has increased apolipoprotein E (apoE) and apoC-III content, high density, and increased susceptibility to aggregation.

Case report: The spectrum of SMPD1 pathogenic variants in Hungary

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2023
Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase-1 (SMPD1) gene.

Platelet‐activating factor‐receptor signaling mediates solar‐simulated light‐induced extracellular vesicle release in human keratinocytes

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
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]

open access: yesBiochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1988
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.

Effect of Procysteine on aging-associated changes in hepatic GSH and SMase: evidence for transcriptional regulation of smpd3[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2014
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-
