Role of the Mce1 transporter in the lipid homeostasis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Elsevier, 2014-03)
Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality throughout the world. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of human tuberculosis, has developed several strategies involving proteins and other compounds ...
Isolation of transcripts overexpressed in the human pathogen Trichophyton rubrum grown in lipid as carbon source
(CANADIAN SCIENCE PUBLISHING, NRC RESEARCH PRESS, 2011)
Trichophyton rubrum is the most common etiological agent of human dermatophytosis. Despite the incidence and medical importance of this dermatophyte, little is known about the mechanisms of host invasion and pathogenicity. ...
Lipid-Free Antigen B Subunits from Echinococcus granulosus: Oligomerization, Ligand Binding, and Membrane Interaction Properties
(Public Library of Science, 2015-03)
The hydatid disease parasite Echinococcus granulosus has a restricted lipid metabolism, and needs to harvest essential lipids from the host. Antigen B (EgAgB), an abundant lipoprotein of the larval stage (hydatid cyst), ...
Regulation of plasma membrane Ca 2 +-ATPase activity by acetylated tubulin: Influence of the lipid environment
(Elsevier Science, 2012-03)
We demonstrated previously that acetylated tubulin inhibits plasma membrane Ca 2 +-ATPase (PMCA) activity in plasma membrane vesicles (PMVs) of rat brain through a reversible interaction. Dissociation of the PMCA/tubulin ...
Interactions of flavan-3-ols and procyanidins with membranes: mechanisms and the physiological relevance
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-01)
Flavonoids are a type of phenolic compound widely present in edible plants. A great number of health benefits have been ascribed to flavonoid consumption in the human population. However, the molecular mechanisms involved ...
The Postpharyngeal Gland: Specialized Organ for Lipid Nutrition in Leaf-Cutting Ants
(Public Library Science, 2016-05-05)
There are several hypotheses about the possible functions of the postpharyngeal gland (PPG) in ants. The proposed functions include roles as cephalic or gastric caeca and diverticulum of the digestive tract, mixing of ...
Lipid mobilizaton and acyl-coenzyme a dehydrogenase abundance in the postpharyngeal gland of a leaf-cutng ant
(2016-12-01)
The postpharyngeal gland (PPG) in ants has a central role in lipid accumulaton. Our objectve was to investgate whether the PPG of workers of the leaf-cutng ant Ata sexdens rubropilosa (F.) performs lipid mobilizaton to the ...
Influential factors for the particulate lipid production in the East Atlantic Ocean
(Elsevier, 2014-04)
Extensive analyses of particulate lipids and lipid classes were conducted to gain insight into lipid production and related factors along the biogeochemical provinces of the Eastern Atlantic Ocean. Data are supported by ...
