Keeping sphingolipid levels nORMal.
L ipids are essential for life as the principal components of biomembranes. In addition, many lipids act as signaling molecules both in and outside the cell. For these structural and regulatory functions it is crucial that the abundance of different lipids is controlled in a coordinated fashion to maintain the right balance between them. Aberrations in this equilibrium could result in altered m...
متن کاملAutophagy regulates sphingolipid levels in the liver.
Sphingolipid levels are tightly regulated to maintain cellular homeostasis. During pathologic conditions such as in aging, inflammation, and metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases, levels of some sphingolipids, including the bioactive metabolite ceramide, are elevated. Sphingolipid metabolism has been linked to autophagy, a critical catabolic process in both normal cell function and disease; ...
متن کاملThe Yeast Oxysterol Binding Protein Kes1 Maintains Sphingolipid Levels
The oxysterol binding protein family are amphitropic proteins that bind oxysterols, sterols, and possibly phosphoinositides, in a conserved binding pocket. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae oxysterol binding protein family member Kes1 (also known as Osh4) also binds phosphoinositides on a distinct surface of the protein from the conserved binding pocket. In this study, we determine that the oxystero...
متن کاملEpithelial Cell Division: Keeping Aneuploidy Levels in Check
Aneuploidy is deleterious at the cellular and organismal level and can promote tumorigenesis. Two new studies in Drosophila imaginal discs underscore the cellular and tissue-wide mechanisms that prevent the accumulation of aneuploid cells in symmetrically dividing epithelial tissues upon changes in centrosome number.
متن کاملNormal Levels of Homologous Recombination
The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor whose function is critical for maintaining genomic stability in mammalian cells. In response to DNA damage, p53 initiates a signaling cascade that results in cell cycle arrest, DNA repair or, if the damage is severe, programmed cell death. In addition, p53 interacts with repair proteins involved in homologous recombination. Mitotic homologous r...
