Structure and dynamics of the acyl chains in the membrane trafficking and enzymatic processing of lipids

Vanni, Stefano ; Riccardi, Laura ; Palermo, Giulia ; De Vivo, Marco

In: Accounts of Chemical Research, 2019, vol. 52, no. 11, p. 3087–3096

The regulatory chemical mechanisms of lipid trafficking and degradation are involved in many pathophysiological processes, being implicated in severe pain, inflammation, and cancer. In addition, the processing of lipids is also relevant for industrial and environmental applications. However, there is poor understanding of the chemical features that control lipid membrane trafficking and allow...

Modification of sperm fatty acid composition during epididymal maturation in bats

Fasel, Nicolas J. ; McMillian, Kevin ; Jakop, Ulrike ; Méné-Saffrané, Laurent ; Engel, Kathrin M. ; Genoud, Michel ; Müller, Karin ; Christe, Philippe

Biochemical properties of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are fundamental to sperm movements. Amongst all adjustments operated during epididymal maturation, sperm membrane lipid composition is remodelled. Specifically, the proportion of PUFAs usually increases from the caput towards the cauda epididymidis. In mammals, PUFAs are predominantly acquired through the diet, which can ...
