MetabolomicsSystematic analyses of lipid mobilization by human lipid transfer proteins

Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) maintain the specialised lipid compositions of biological membranes, and many are associated with disease. In eukaryotes, they support organellar functions by transporting lipids between compartmentalised metabolic pathways. However, for the majority of the hundreds...

MetabolomicsDeficient Endoplasmic Reticulum-Mitochondrial Phosphatidylserine Transfer Causes Liver Disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver is the most common liver disease worldwide. Here, we show that the mitochondrial protein mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) protects against liver disease. Reduced Mfn2 expression was detected in liver biopsies from patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Moreover, reduced Mfn2...

MetabolomicsMembrane lipid as cofactor of cargo uptake and release by box-like lipid transfer proteins
Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) shuttle their cargo lipids between cellular membranes. LTPs facilitate the costly extraction of a lipid from a donor membrane, and its delivery into the acceptor membrane, but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. We combined extensive molecular dynamics simulations...

MetabolomicsATG2A-mediated DAG transfer recruits DGAT2 for lipid droplet growth

Lipid droplet (LD) growth mechanisms and the roles of LD-associated lipid transfer proteins remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the autophagy lipid transfer protein ATG2A has an anabolic role and promotes LD expansion by transferring diacylglycerol (DAG), and potentially triacylglycerol ...

MetabolomicsCo-occurrence of direct and indirect extracellular electron transfer mechanisms during electroactive respiration in a dissimilatory sulfate reducing bacterium

Understanding the extracellular electron transfer mechanisms of electroactive bacteria could help determine their potential in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and their microbial syntrophy with redox-active minerals in natural environments. However, the mechanisms of extracellular electron transfer t...

MetabolomicsCyromazine accelerates the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes by promoting the conjugative transfer of the SXT integrative conjugative element

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most urgent challenges in public health, and the horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) mediated by mobile genetic elements (MGEs) drives its widespread global dissemination. Although integrative conjugative elements (ICEs) outnumber...

MetabolomicsHorizontal Transfer of Bacteriocin Biosynthesis Genes Requires Metabolic Adaptation To Improve Compound Production and Cellular Fitness

Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) encoding the production of bacteriocins are widespread among bacterial isolates and are important genetic determinants of competitive fitness within a given habitat. Staphylococci produce a tremendous diversity of compounds, and the corresponding BGCs are frequen...

MetabolomicsTranscript, protein and metabolite temporal dynamics in the CAM plant Agave
Already a proven mechanism for drought sustainability, crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a specialized type of photosynthesis that maximizes water-use efficiency (WUE) via an inverse (compared to C3 and C4 photosynthesis-performing species) day/night pattern of stomatal closure/opening to shift ...

MetabolomicsCholesterol metabolism regulates cartilage metabolic-inflammatory crosstalk by triggering osteocyte mitochondria transfer as a therapeutic target for osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is considered as a metabolic related inflammatory disease in the joint affecting both cartilage and subchondral bone. Cholesterol metabolism has been implicated in the pathogenesis of OA, yet the underlying mechanism still remains elusive. Understanding the role of cholesterol me...

MetabolomicsLipidomics study for investigating the role of the Unfolded Protein Response In Arabidopsis seed filling

The Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) is a retrograde, ER-to-nucleus, signalling pathway which is conserved across kingdoms. In plants, it contributes to development, reproduction, immunity and tolerance to abiotic stress. This lipidomic dataset was produced from Arabidopsis thaliana mature seeds. ...
