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...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Phaeodactylum tricornutum, a model organism of diatoms, plays a crucial role in Earth's primary productivity. Investigating its cellular response to grazing pressure is highly significant for the marine ecological environment. Furthermore, the integration of mult...
Gut-resident bacteria must withstand membrane-disrupting stresses such as bile acids to persist in the intestinal environment. The Bacteroidota are a dominant phylum of the human gut microbiota. However, the genes responsible for synthesis of membrane lipids in this phylum remain relatively uncha...
Modulating cell endocytosis activity to reduce host susceptibility to virus represents a promising strategy for antiviral drug development. In this study, we reveal that lactate transporter SLC16A3 as a critical host factor for reducing diverse virus invasion. By performing metabolomics, proteomi...
