Glycosphingolipid Modification: Structural Diversity, Functional and Mechanistic Integration of Diabetes
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are present in all mammalian cell plasma membranes and intracellular membrane structures. They are especially concentrated in plasma membrane lipid domains that are specialized for cell signaling. Plasma membranes have typical structures called rafts and caveola domain structures, with large amounts of sphingolipids, cholesterol, and sphingomyelin. GSLs are usually obs...
متن کاملStructural and mechanistic diversity of secondary transporters.
Recent reports on the three-dimensional structure of secondary transporters have dramatically increased our knowledge of the translocation mechanism of ions and solutes. The structures of five transporters at atomic resolution have yielded four different folds and as many different translocation mechanisms. The structure of the glutamate transporter homologue GltPh confirmed the role of pore-lo...

Functional and Mechanistic Integration of Infection and the Metabolic Syndrome
The metabolic syndrome refers to a well defined group of risk factors, including central obesity and inflammation, for the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Interestingly, many studies have recently led to the emergence of somewhat unexpected relationships between several infectious diseases and various aspects of the metabolic syndrome. Our understanding of the mechanisms und...
متن کاملFunctional and Mechanistic Diversity of Distal Transcription Enhancers
Biological differences among metazoans and between cell types in a given organism arise in large part due to differences in gene expression patterns. Gene-distal enhancers are key contributors to these expression patterns, exhibiting both sequence diversity and cell type specificity. Studies of long-range interactions indicate that enhancers are often important determinants of nuclear organizat...
