Overview and introduction: thematic review series on intestinal lipid metabolism.
Journal of Lipid Research Volume 56, 2015 487 Copyright © 2015 by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc. The last decade has seen extraordinary advances in our understanding of intestinal lipid metabolism, driven at least in part through attempts to mitigate the ongoing epidemic of obesity and metabolic disease ( 1 ). For example, weight loss strategies including gast...
متن کاملIntroduction to Thematic Review Series: Phospholipases: Central Role in Lipid Signaling and Disease.
Hydrolases constitute an enormous proportion of our enzymes, being responsible for the initiation of most digestive processes and numerous physiological processes. They are defi ned as enzymes that use a molecule of water to degrade substrates including all four kinds of biological molecules; namely, nucleic acids (nucleases), proteins (proteases), lipids or fats (lipases), and carbohydrates or...
متن کاملAn introduction to the Journal of Lipid Research Thematic Series on lysophospholipids.
This article is available online at http://www.jlr.org It is a pleasure to introduce the latest JLR Thematic Series that will review the fi eld of lysophospholipids through a set of six reviews written by authoritative members of this fi eld. These reviews will introduce key concepts and update selected areas within this growing fi eld, particularly in those areas that have had signifi cant sci...
متن کاملThematic review series: lipid posttranslational modifications. geranylgeranylation of Rab GTPases.
Rab GTPases require special machinery for protein prenylation, which include Rab escort protein (REP) and Rab geranylgeranyl transferase (RGGT). The current model of Rab geranylgeranylation proposes that REP binds Rab and presents it to RGGT. After geranylgeranylation of Rab C-terminal cysteines, REP delivers the prenylated protein to membranes. The REP-like protein Rab GDP dissociation inhibit...
متن کاملIntroduction to Thematic Minireview Series: Novel Bioactive Sphingolipids.
Sphingosine was named by J. L. W. Thudichum for its enigmatic properties. This descriptor has applied to sphingolipids for over a century because new enigmas continue to surface. This JBC minireview series presents articles about three novel subspecies of sphingolipids, α-galactosylceramides, 4,5-dihydroceramides, and 1-deoxysphingolipids, that have important activities but, until recently, rem...
