    Structural, mechanistic, and physiological insights into phospholipase A-mediated membrane phospholipid degradation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Florian Bleffert, Joachim Granzin ... Filip Kovacic
    Membrane homeostasis in bacteria relies on the controlled degradation of endogenous phospholipids by intracellular phospholipases A, however their structures and catalytic mechanism are still poorly understood.

    Ferredoxin 1 is essential for embryonic development and lipid homeostasis

    Shakur Mohibi, Yanhong Zhang ... Xinbin Chen
    The iron-sulfur cluster containing Ferredoxin 1 (FDX1), critical in steroidogenesis and TCA cycle, is required for mammalian embryonic development and maintenance of lipid homeostasis at cellular and organismal levels.

    Membrane-bound O-acyltransferase 7 (MBOAT7) shapes lysosomal lipid homeostasis and function to control alcohol-associated liver injury

    Venkateshwari Varadharajan, Iyappan Ramachandiran ... J Mark Brown
    MBOAT7 loss of function in hepatocytes contributes to ethanol-induced liver injury, offering crucial insights into the dysregulated lipid metabolism and impaired autophagy associated with advanced liver disease.

    Plasmodium-specific atypical memory B cells are short-lived activated B cells

    Damián Pérez-Mazliah, Peter J Gardner ... Jean Langhorne
    Plasmodium-specific atypical memory B cells generated to naturally (mosquito) transmitted rodent malaria infection are short-lived activated B cells, and do not prevent resolution of infection or generation of long-lived memory.

    An ER phospholipid hydrolase drives ER-associated mitochondrial constriction for fission and fusion

    Tricia T Nguyen, Gia K Voeltz
    ABHD16A is a phospholipid-modifying endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein required for both mitochondrial fission and fusion machinery recruitment to ER-associated mitochondrial constrictions.

    N-acetylation of α-synuclein enhances synaptic vesicle clustering mediated by α-synuclein and lysophosphatidylcholine

    Chuchu Wang, Chunyu Zhao ... Cong Liu
    NMR and clustering results show that N-terminal acetylation of α-syn enhances its binding to the neutral phospholipid lysophosphatidylcholine, thereby promoting its function of clustering synaptic vesicles.

    Machine learning and biological validation identify sphingolipids as potential mediators of paclitaxel-induced neuropathy in cancer patients

    Jörn Lötsch, Khayal Gasimli ... Marco Sisignano
    Sphinganine-1-phosphate (SA1P) is linked to paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy, offering a potential target for reducing this severe side effect of paclitaxel treatment.

    High-endothelial cell-derived S1P regulates dendritic cell localization and vascular integrity in the lymph node

    Szandor Simmons, Naoko Sasaki ... Masaru Ishii
    Impairment of the autocrine S1PR1-Gi signaling on HEVs results in high-endothelial cell apoptosis, reduced CCL21-secretion from HEVs, and cessation of HEV-DC interactions and lymphocyte immigration across the high-endothelial barrier.

    Progesterone induces meiosis through two obligate co-receptors with PLA2 activity

    Nancy Nader, Lama Assaf ... Khaled Machaca
    Progesterone mediates nongenomic signaling in Xenopus oocyte meiosis by activating a PLA2 activity that requires two membrane receptors ABDH2 and mPRß.
