In particular, these examples illustrate how all aspects of membrane lipid metabolic pathways are targeted by these feedback regulations. We propose that the time has come to consider membrane lipids and lipid metabolism as an integral part of the developmental program needed to build a plant....
Despite the finding that phospholipids move rapidly in the plane of the bilayer, this is not a random process. Both lipid and protein organization will lead to domains in the membrane where certain lipids and proteins are enriched. As an example, these microdomains, or “rafts,” are involved...
Thus, knowledge of the variations in lipid contents will provide deep insight into the defense strategy that plants adopt in terms of lipid metabolic pathways. However, few studies have focused on how lipids are altered in cuticle mutants of the model plant Arabidopsis, and in crop species, ...
phosphatidylethanolamine acts as a lipid chaperone that assists in the folding of membrane proteins (Bogdanov and Dowhan,1998). Thus, its lack would result in the excess in unfolded proteins, responsible for the metabolic shift towards cancerous phenotype (Beloribi-Djefaflia et al.,2016;Pu...

you might say "sources of fuel" and "metabolic waste" respectively, given that this is essentially what bodies as a whole do. And you would be right. Very small molecules, such as gaseous oxygen (O2), gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O), can pass freely across the membrane,...
The ripening of fleshy fruits is a complex developmental program characterized by extensive transcriptomic and metabolic remodeling in the pericarp tissues (pulp and skin) making unripe green fruits soft, tasteful and colored. The onset of ripening is re
Thus, peroxisome-dependent accumulation of PA and reduced amounts of its metabolic products, PI and PS, impact immune cell cytoskeleton remodeling that in turn affects cellular responses to infection in vitro and in vivo. Peroxisomal β-oxidation contributes to the cellular lipid metabolic response ...
The process of membrane lipid peroxidation, which occurs as a result of the influence of factors not directly related to the soil pollution pressure, reaches different levels depending on the species (Paoli et al., 2015, Chowaniec et al., 2022). However, the general range of TBARS concentratio...
Triacylglycerols (TG) are synthesized at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) bilayer and packaged into organelles called lipid droplets (LDs). LDs are covered by a single phospholipid monolayer contiguous with the ER bilayer. This connection is used by severa
