Current thoughts on the phosphatidylinositol transfer protein family

Current Thoughts on Mechanisms of Hyperoxic Seizures

Trafficking of phosphatidylinositol by phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins.

PtdIns is synthesized at the endoplasmic reticulum and its intracellular distribution to other organelles can be facilitated by lipid transfer proteins [PITPs (phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins)]. In this review, I summarize the current understanding of how PITPs are regulated by phosphorylation, how can they dock to membranes to exchange their lipid cargo and how cells use PITPs in signal...

Phosphatidylinositol-transfer protein and its homologues in yeast.

Yeast Sec14p acts as a phosphatidylinositol/phosphatidylcholine-transfer protein in vitro. In vivo, it is essential in promoting Golgi secretory function. Products of five genes named SFH1-SFH5 (Sec Fourteen Homologues 1-5) exhibit significant sequence homology to Sec14p and together they form the Sec14p family of lipid-transfer proteins. It is a diverse group of proteins with distinct subcellu...

A Review of Current Thoughts*

Ventricular septal defect, alone or in combination with other cardiac malformations, is the commonest form of congenital heart disease in man. Morphogenically, the ventricular septum is composed of three parts: (a) the conal septum, (b) the septum of the endocardial cushions, and (c) the muscular septum proper. Consequently, most cono-truncal abnormalities (transposition of the great arteries, ...
