Unlike other essential trace elements that interact with proteins in the form of cofactors,
selenium (Se) becomes co-translationally incorporated into the polypeptide chain as part of …

For many decades, Escherichia coli was the main model organism for the study of bacterial
membrane lipids. The results obtained served as a blueprint for membrane lipid …

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) are two primary components
of the eukaryotic membrane and play essential roles in the maintenance of membrane …

Recent studies indicate that ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) may play an important role
in nitrogen removal by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However, our knowledge of …

Phospholipids are major components of the cellular membranes present in all living
organisms. They typically form a lipid bilayer that embroiders the cell or cellular organelles …

Ethanolamine phosphotransferase (EPT) 1, also known as selenoprotein 1 (SELENOI), is an
enzyme that transfers phosphoethanolamine from cytidine diphosphate-ethanolamine to …

The major phospholipid present in most eukaryotic membranes is phosphatidylcholine (PC),
comprising~ 50% of phospholipid content. PC metabolic pathways are highly conserved …

Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the most abundant phospholipid in eukaryotic cell membranes.
In eukaryotes, two highly homologous enzymes, cholinephosphotransferase-1 (CHPT1) and …

Simple Summary Membrane proteins are essential to all forms of life. Millions of membrane
proteins are found in the lipid membrane layer that surrounds cells, and in the lipid …

While endogenous lipids are known to exhibit rhythmic oscillations, less is known about how
specific lipids modulate circadian behavior. Through a series of loss-of-function and gain-of …
