Construction of a yeast strain with regulatable phospholipid synthesis for analysis of the uptake and metabolism of phosphatidylethanolamine with short acyl chains.

چکیده
We constructed a yeast stain, TKY12Ga, in which phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) synthesis can be controlled by means of the carbon source in the medium. When PE synthesis was blocked, its growth was inhibited. However, in the presence of exogenous didecanoyl PE (diC10PE), TKY12Ga grew despite an inability to synthesize PE. Our system, which employs TKY12Ga strain and diC10PE, provides a valuable tool to study the transport and metabolism of PE in yeast.

Involvement of LEM3/ROS3 in the uptake of phosphatidylcholine with short acyl chains in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
A Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain deficient in phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase that exhibits choline auxotrophy grew in the presence of dioctanoyl phosphatidylcholine (diC8PC). We isolated and characterized mutants defective in growth in the diC8PC-containing medium. Mutations in LEM3/ROS3 impaired growth in that medium, indicating that Lem3p is involved in the utilization of extrace...
متن کاملLipid Acyl Chain Remodeling in Yeast
Membrane lipid homeostasis is maintained by de novo synthesis, intracellular transport, remodeling, and degradation of lipid molecules. Glycerophospholipids, the most abundant structural component of eukaryotic membranes, are subject to acyl chain remodeling, which is defined as the post-synthetic process in which one or both acyl chains are exchanged. Here, we review studies addressing acyl ch...
متن کاملAbnormal phospholipid metabolism in spur cell anemia: decreased fatty acid incorporation into phosphatidylethanolamine and increased incorporation into acylcarnitine in spur cell anemia erythrocytes.
Spur cell anemia is a hemolytic anemia seen in severe alcoholic cirrhosis that is characterized by unusual morphology and a decreased ratio of phospholipids to cholesterol in the erythrocyte membrane. We hypothesized that defective phospholipid repair may contribute to the red blood cell (RBC) phospholipid abnormalities of spur cell anemia. Therefore, we compared RBCs from normal control subjec...

متن کاملConstruction of recombinant yeast expressing EpEX as a suitable candidate in cancer diagnosis and therapy
Introduction: Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a membrane glycoprotein that is overexpressed on the majority of tumor cells of epithelial origin and thereby can be used as a target of immunodetection and immunotherapy of cancer. So, it is important to produce this protein in its native form. Interestingly, during the last two decades, the yeast Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) has beco...
