    Autoinhibition and regulation by phosphoinositides of ATP8B1, a human lipid flippase associated with intrahepatic cholestatic disorders

    Thibaud Dieudonné, Sara Abad Herrera ... Guillaume Lenoir
    Single particle cryo-electron microscopy associated with functional studies reveal a critical role of N- and C-terminal tails in the autoinhibition of the disease-related ATP8B1-CDC50A lipid flippase, the possible role of phosphorylation in autoinhibition relief, and strong activation by PI(3,4,5)P3.

    Transport mechanism of P4 ATPase phosphatidylcholine flippases

    Lin Bai, Qinglong You ... Huilin Li
    A detailed molecular mechanism on lipid flipping from outside leaflet to the inside leaflet of the eukaryotic plasma membrane bilayer.

    Sensitizing Staphylococcus aureus to antibacterial agents by decoding and blocking the lipid flippase MprF

    Christoph J Slavetinsky, Janna N Hauser ... Andreas Peschel
    Blocking the bacterial lipid flippase MprF by monoclonal antibodies enhance staphylococcal clearance by host defense and antibiotics providing a novel proof of concept for antivirulence approaches targeting bacterial resistance mechanisms.

    Hormone-sensitive lipase couples intergenerational sterol metabolism to reproductive success

    Christoph Heier, Oskar Knittelfelder ... Ronald P Kühnlein
    An ancestral enzyme tailors allocation of essential lipid resources to the progeny and connects maternal and embryonic sterol metabolism for reproductive success.

    The acidic domain of the endothelial membrane protein GPIHBP1 stabilizes lipoprotein lipase activity by preventing unfolding of its catalytic domain

    Simon Mysling, Kristian Kølby Kristensen ... Michael Ploug
    Intravascular triglyceride hydrolysis by lipoprotein lipase is crucial for delivering lipid nutrients to vital tissues, such as the heart, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue.
    1. Cell Biology

    The AP-2 complex has a specialized clathrin-independent role in apical endocytosis and polar growth in fungi

    Olga Martzoukou, Sotiris Amillis ... George Diallinas
    In filamentous fungi the AP-2 complex, which in mammals is an adaptor of clathrin-mediated endocytosis, is recruited to specific clathrin-independent apical endocytosis necessary for proper lipid maintenance and polar growth.

    A systematic approach to identify recycling endocytic cargo depending on the GARP complex

    Sebastian Eising, Lisa Thiele, Florian Fröhlich
    The GARP complex is important for the endocytic recycling of amino phospholipid flippases and cell wall proteins, and thus membrane and lipid organization in yeast.

    A highly conserved host lipase deacylates oxidized phospholipids and ameliorates acute lung injury in mice

    Benkun Zou, Michael Goodwin ... Mingfang Lu
    Acyloxyacyl hydrolase, the host lipase that detoxifies bacterial lipopolysaccharides, also deacylates oxidized phospholipids, preventing inflammasome activation in macrophages in vitro and ameliorating acute lung injury in vivo.

    The angiopoietin-like protein ANGPTL4 catalyzes unfolding of the hydrolase domain in lipoprotein lipase and the endothelial membrane protein GPIHBP1 counteracts this unfolding

    Simon Mysling, Kristian Kølby Kristensen ... Michael Ploug
    Building on previous work (Mysling et al., 2016), it is shown that angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) inhibits lipoprotein lipase activity by catalyzing the unfolding of its hydrolase domain.

    Vibrio deploys type 2 secreted lipase to esterify cholesterol with host fatty acids and mediate cell egress

    Suneeta Chimalapati, Marcela de Souza Santos ... Kim Orth
    Considering the course of a pathogen's evolution, there appears to be interplay between secretion systems, providing unique, synergistic mechanisms to support a successful lifestyle for possibly pathogenesis, symbiosis and/or parasitosis.
