Lysophospholipases cooperate to mediate lipid homeostasis and lysophospholipid signaling
摘要:
Lysophospholipids (LysoPLs) are bioactive lipid species involved in cellular signaling processes and the regulation of cell membrane structure. LysoPLs are metabolized through the action of lysophospholipases, including lysophospholipase A1 (LYPLA1) and lysophospholipase A2 (LYPLA2). A new X-ray crystal structure of LYPLA2 compared with a previously published structure of LYPLA1 demonstrated near-identical folding of the two enzymes; however, LYPLA1 and LYPLA2 have displayed distinct substrate specificities in recombinant enzyme assays. To determine how these in vitro substrate preferences translate into a relevant cellular setting and better understand the enzymes' role in LysoPL metabolism, CRISPR-Cas9 technology was utilized to generate stable KOs of Lypla1 and/or Lypla2 in Neuro2a cells. Using these cellular models in combination with a targeted lipidomics approach, LysoPL levels were quantified and compared between cell lines to determine the effect of losing lysophospholipase activity on lipid metabolism. This work suggests that LYPLA1 and LYPLA2 are each able to account for the loss of the other to maintain lipid homeostasis in cells; however, when both are deleted, LysoPL levels are dramatically increased, causing phenotypic and morphological changes to the cells.

The conformational order of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) adsorbed at the D2O-CCl4 interface has been examined by total internal reflection sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy. A change in conformation of the alkyl chain with increased surface coverage at the liquid-liquid interface is observed. A series of aqueous surfactant concentrations have been examined in order to determine the effect of surface coverage on the conformation of the alkyl chains at the interface. Polarization studies indicate that, for the concentration range examined, the symmetry axis of the terminal methyl group on the alkyl chain is oriented primarily along the surface normal. Identification of spectral features in the C-H region of the infrared region is facilitated by examination of the sum-frequency spectrum from an analogous deuterated compound.
Chemosynthetic homologues of Mycoplasma pneumoniae β-glycolipid antigens for the diagnosis of mycoplasma infectious diseases
Mycoplasma pneumoniae expresses beta-glycolipids (beta-GGLs) in cytoplasmic membranes, which possess a unique beta(1 -> 6)-linked disaccharide epitope, which has high potential in biochemical and medicinal applications. In the present study, a series of beta-GGLs homologues with different acyl chains (C12, C14, C16, and C18) were prepared from a common precursor. An ELISA assay using an anti-(beta-GGLs) monoclonal antibody indicated that the synthetic homologues with long acyl chains had greater diagnostic potential in the order C18 > C16 > C14 > C12. Toward a simultaneous detection of natural glycolipids by mass spectrometry (MS), a deuterium-labeled C16 homologue (beta-GGL-C16-d3) was prepared and applied as an internal standard for a high-resolution electrospray ionization MS (ESI-MS) analysis. The ESI-MS analysis was used to identify and quantify acyl homologues (C16/C16, C16/C18, and C18/C18) of beta-GGL-C16 in cultured M. pneumoniae. A beta-GGLs homologue with a 1,2-diacetyl group (C2) was also prepared as a "water soluble" glycolipid homologue and characterized by H-1 NMR spectroscopy. We envisage that each of these chemosynthetic homologues will provide promising approaches to solve medical and biological problems associated with mycoplasma infectious diseases (MIDs).
