Intracellular trafficking of ceramide by ceramide transfer protein
The transport and sorting of lipids are fundamental to membrane biogenesis. In the synthesis of sphingolipids in mammalian cells, ceramide is newly produced at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and transported from the ER to the trans Golgi regions, where it is converted to sphingomyelin. Ceramide transfer protein (CERT) mediates the ER-to-Golgi trafficking of ceramide. It has been suggested that...
متن کاملLipid Metabolism: Ceramide Transfer Protein Adds a New Dimension
Just as non-lipidologists were becoming reconciled to the complexities of networks of ceramide metabolism and the diverse roles of ceramide in cell regulation and membrane structure, a new study reveals a new layer of regulation of ceramide through the actions of a ceramide binding/transfer protein.
متن کاملRegulation of secretory transport by protein kinase D–mediated phosphorylation of the ceramide transfer protein
Protein kinase D (PKD) has been identified as a crucial regulator of secretory transport at the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Recruitment and activation of PKD at the TGN is mediated by the lipid diacylglycerol, a pool of which is generated by sphingomyelin synthase from ceramide and phosphatidylcholine. The nonvesicular transfer of ceramide from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex is m...
متن کاملCeramide kinase uses ceramide provided by ceramide transport protein: localization to organelles of eicosanoid synthesis.
Ceramide kinase (CERK) is a critical mediator of eicosanoid synthesis, and its product, ceramide-1-phosphate (C1P), is required for the production of prostaglandins in response to several inflammatory agonists. In this study, mass spectrometry analysis disclosed that the main forms of C1P in cells were C(16:0) C1P and C(18:0) C1P, suggesting that CERK uses ceramide transported to the trans-Golg...
متن کاملOn the functional properties of microRNA-mediated feed forward loops
Motivation: Recent studies of genomic-scale regulatory networks suggested that a feed-forward loop (FFL) circuitry is a key component of many such networks. This led to a study of the functional properties of different FFL types, where the regulatory elements are transcription factors. Results: Here we investigate these properties when the mediating regulatory element of the loop is a microRNA....
