Palmitoylated acyl protein thioesterase APT2 deforms membranes to extract substrate acyl chains

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Matteo Dal Peraro, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Florence Pojer, Sylvia Ho, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita, Patrick Alain Sandoz, Martina Audagnotto, Giulia Fonti, Muhammad Umair Anwar

Acyl protein thioesterase APT2 interacts with membranes via its charged beta-tongue, becomes palmitoylated by ZDHHC3/7 and deforms the bilayer to extract substrate acyl chains. APT2 deacylation leads to its membrane release and degradation. Many biochemica ...

1,3-Difunctionalization of Aminocyclopropanes via Dielectrophilic Intermediates

Jérôme Waser, Mingming Wang

We report an oxidative ring-opening strategy to transform acyl, sulfonyl or carbamate protected aminocyclopropanes into 1,3-dielectrophilic carbon intermediates bearing a halide atom (Br, I) and a N,O-acetal. Replacing the alkoxy group of the N,O-acetal ca ...

Cellular metabolites, such as acyl-CoA, can modify proteins, leading to protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs). One such PTM is lysine succinylation, which is regulated by sirtuin 5 (SIRT5). Although numerous proteins are modified by lysine succiny ...

The effects of globotriaosylceramide tail saturation level on bilayer phases

Julian Charles Shillcock

Globotriaosylceramide (Gb(3)) is a glycosphingolipid present in the plasma membrane that is the natural receptor of the bacterial Shiga toxin. The unsaturation level of Gb(3) acyl chains has a drastic impact on lipid bilayer properties and phase behaviour, ...

Alterations in the hepatic lipid content (HLC) and fatty acid composition are associated with disruptions in whole body metabolism, both in humans and in rodent models, and can be non-invasively assessed by (1) H-MRS in vivo. We used (1) H-MRS to character ...

Towards a kinetic model of the phospholipids biosynthesis of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Meriç Ataman, Georgios Savoglidis, Iro Oikonomidi

Lipids, as vital eukaryotic cellular components, play a major role in cell, tissue and organ physiology. Alterations of lipid enzymes and metabolic pathways are related to many human diseases, such as cancer, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. In thi ...

Impact of hepatic lipid accumulation and composition on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity: a longitudinal study in male and female mice

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares

Background and aims: Metabolic disruptions characterized by high hepatic lipid content (HLC) are associated with impairments in whole body glucose homeostasis. To gain insight on the role of hepatic lipids in the metabolic performance in the absence artifi ...

A SIRT7-Dependent Acetylation Switch of GABPβ1 Controls Mitochondrial Function

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Dongryeol Ryu, Hongbo Zhang, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Giuseppe Lo Sasso

Mitochondrial activity is controlled by proteins encoded by both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. Here, we identify Sirt7 as a crucial regulator of mitochondrial homeostasis. Sirt7 deficiency in mice induces multisystemic mitochondrial dysfunction, which is ...
