TLDR
Two activator proteins, GM2-activator and sphingolipid activator protein-1, are critically appraised on their glycolipid-binding properties and on their activity to facilitate the transfer ofglycolipids.

Sphingolipids and Plant Defense/Disease: The “Death” Connection and Beyond

TL;DR: This review cross examine and analyze the major findings that establish and strengthen the intimate connections between sphingolipid metabolism and plant programmed cell death (PCD) associated with plant defense or disease and identify potential parallels for immunity-related mechanisms involving spindingolipids across kingdoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid transfer proteins.

TL;DR: An overview of lipid transfer proteins, which are able to catalyze inter-membrane transfer and exchange of lipids, and their physiological role has not been clearly demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sphingolipid-binding proteins.

TL;DR: This review focuses on underlying mechanisms based on sphingolipid:protein interactions, and discusses techniques that are useful in the elucidation of these interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glycolipid transfer proteins.

TL;DR: Based on the unique conformational architecture that targets GLTP to membranes and enables glycolipid binding, GLTP is now considered the prototypical and founding member of a new protein superfamily in eukaryotes.

Some properties of phosphatidylcholine exchange protein purified from beef liver

TL;DR: A phospholipid exchange protein has been purified 2680-fold from beef liver and stimulated specifically the exchange of phosphatidylcholine between mitochondria and microsomes from rat liver.

Cerebroside 3-sulfate as a physiological substrate of arylsulfatase A.

TL;DR: Cerebroside 3-sulfate was found to inhibit sulfatase activity with 2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl sulfate as substrate and vice versa; a result which indicates a common enzyme for both substrates.

Purification and characterization of an activator protein for the degradation of glycolipids GM2 and GA2 by hexosaminidase A.

TL;DR: The isoenzymes' lipid substrate specificity measured in the presence of the activator is entirely different from that obtained with detergents and can satisfactorily account for the lipid storage pattern observed in patients with variant forms of infantile GM2- gangliosidosis.
