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...

MetabolomicsDifferent regions of synaptic vesicle membrane regulate VAMP2 conformation for the SNARE assembly
Vesicle associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP2/synaptobrevin2), a core SNARE protein residing on synaptic vesicles (SVs), forms helix bundles with syntaxin-1 and SNAP25 for the SNARE assembly. Prior to the SNARE assembly, the structure of VAMP2 is unclear. Here, by using in-cell NMR spectroscopy, we d...

MetabolomicsEnterococcus faecalis readily adapts membrane phospholipid composition to environmental and genetic perturbation

The bacterial lipid membrane, consisting both of fatty acid (acyl) tails and polar head groups, responds to changing conditions through alteration of either the acyl tails and/or head groups. This plasticity is critical for cell survival as it allows maintenance of both the protective nature of t...

MetabolomicsER fusogens maintain membrane reservoir to ensure brain function
How the morphological dynamics of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are linked to its functions is unclear. Atlastins (ATLs), a class of GTPases, mediate ER fusion, and human mutations in ATL1 cause hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). Here, we show that ATL2-knockout mice are embryonic lethal with com...

MetabolomicsInterorganelle lipid flux revealed by enzymatic mass tagging in vivo
The distinct activities of cellular organelles are dependent on the proper function of their membranes. Coordinated membrane biogenesis of the different organelles necessitates interorganelle transport of lipids from their site of synthesis to their destination membranes. Several proteins and traffi...

MetabolomicsLION-web validation lipidomics experiments (FA-incorporation, membrane fluidty)
A major challenge for lipidomic analyses is the handling of the large amounts of data and the translation of results to interpret the involvement of lipids in biological systems. We built a new lipid ontology (LION) that associates over 50,000 lipid species to biophysical, chemical and cell biologic...

MetabolomicsThe patatin-like protein PlpD forms novel structurally dynamic homodimers in the Pseudomonas aeruginosa outer membrane

Members of the Omp85 superfamily of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) found in Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts are characterized by a distinctive 16-stranded β-barrel transmembrane domain and at least one periplasmic POTRA domain. All previously studied Omp85 proteins promote c...

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...

MetabolomicsCell Membrane Remodeling Mediates Polymyxin B Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae: An Integrated Proteomics and Metabolomics Study
Polymyxin B (PB) is introduced into the clinic as the last-line therapy against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). Unfortunately, increased resistance to PB in Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) has threatened global health. Resistance of K. pneumoniae ...

MetabolomicsA multi-omics approach reveals functions of Secretory Carrier-Associated Membrane Proteins in wood formation of Populus trees
Secretory Carrier-Associated Membrane Proteins (SCAMPs) are highly conserved proteins that are involved in membrane trafficking. An integrated approach was taken to elucidate function of SCAMPs in wood formation of Populus trees. The metabolomics analyses were performed in woody tissues of transgeni...
