Abstract
Yarrowia lipolytica is a model oleaginous yeast with a strong capacity for lipid accumulation, yet its lipid metabolic pathways and regulatory mechanisms remain largely unexplored. The PAH1-encoded phosphatidate (PA) phosphatase governs lipid biosynthesis by its enzymatic activity and regulating the transcription of genes involved in phospholipid biosynthesis. In this work, we examined the effect of the loss of Pah1 (i.e., pah1Δ) on cell metabolism in cells growing in low- and high-glucose media. Multi-omics analyses revealed the global effect of the pah1Δ mutation on lipid and central carbon metabolism. Lipidomics analyses showed that the pah1Δ mutation caused a massive decrease in the masses of triacylglycerol (TAG) and diacylglycerol (DAG), and these effects were independent of glucose concentration in the media. Conversely, phospholipid levels declined in low-glucose media but increased in high-glucose media. The loss of Pah1 affected the expression of genes involved in key pathways of glucose metabolism, such as glycolysis, citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, and the pentose phosphate pathway, and these effects were more pronounced in high-glucose media. In lipid biosynthesis, the genes catalyzing phosphatidylcholine (PC) synthesis from phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) were upregulated within the CDP-DAG pathway. In contrast, PC synthesis through the Kennedy pathway was downregulated. The ethanolamine branch of the Kennedy pathway that synthesizes PE was also upregulated in pah1Δ. Interestingly, we noted a massive increase in the levels of lysophospholipids, consistent with the upregulation of genes involved in lipid turnover. Overall, this work identified novel regulatory roles of Pah1 in lipid biosynthesis and gene expression.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the major membrane phospholipid in most eukaryotic cells. Bi-allelic loss of function variants in CHKB, encoding the first step in the synthesis of PC, is the cause of a rostrocaudal muscular dystrophy in both humans and mice. Loss of sarcolemma integrity is a hallmark of muscular dystrophies; however, how this occurs in the absence of choline kinase function is not known. We determine that in Chkb -/- mice there is a failure of the α7β1 integrin complex that is specific to affected muscle. We observed that in Chkb -/- hindlimb muscles there is a decrease in sarcolemma association/abundance of the PI(4,5)P2 binding integrin complex proteins vinculin, and α-actinin, and a decrease in actin association with the sarcolemma. In cells, pharmacological inhibition of choline kinase activity results in internalization of a fluorescent PI(4,5)P2 reporter from discrete plasma membrane clusters at the cell surface membrane to cytosol, this corresponds with a decreased vinculin localization at plasma membrane focal adhesions that was rescued by overexpression of CHKB.

Abstract
To gain a deep understanding of yeast-cell response to heat stress, multiple laboratory strains have been intensively studied via genome-wide expression analysis for the mechanistic dissection of classical heat-shock response (HSR). However, robust industrial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have hardly been explored in global analysis for elucidation of the mechanism of thermotolerant response (TR) during fermentation. Herein, we employed data-independent acquisition and sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra based proteomic workflows to characterize proteome remodeling of an industrial strain, ScY01, responding to prolonged thermal stress or transient heat shock. By comparing the proteomic signatures of ScY01 in TR versus HSR as well as the HSR of the industrial strain versus a laboratory strain, our study revealed disparate response mechanisms of ScY01 during thermotolerant growth or under heat shock. In addition, through proteomics data-mining for decoding transcription factor interaction networks followed by validation experiments, we uncovered the functions of two novel transcription factors, Mig1 and Srb2, in enhancing the thermotolerance of the industrial strain. This study has demonstrated that accurate and high-throughput quantitative proteomics not only provides new insights into the molecular basis for complex microbial phenotypes but also pinpoints upstream regulators that can be targeted for improving the desired traits of industrial microorganisms.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a common and chronic inflammatory skin disease that is complicated by gene-environment interactions. Although genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses have been performed to investigate the pathogenesis of psoriasis, the role of metabolites in psoriasis, particularly of lipids, remains unclear. Lipids not only comprise the bulk of the cellular membrane bilayers but also regulate a variety of biological processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, immunity, angiogenesis, and inflammation. In this study, an untargeted lipidomics approach was used to study the lipid profiles in psoriasis and to identify lipid metabolite signatures for psoriasis through ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry. Plasma samples from 90 participants (45 healthy and 45 psoriasis patients) were collected and analyzed. Statistical analysis was applied to find different metabolites between the disease and healthy groups. In addition, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to validate differentially expressed lipids in psoriatic patient plasma. Finally, we identified differential expression of several lipids including lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylcholine (PC), and phosphatidic acid (PA); among these metabolites, LPA, LysoPC, and PA were significantly increased, while PC and PI were down-regulated in psoriasis patients. We found that elements of glycerophospholipid metabolism such as LPA, LysoPC, PA, PI, and PC were significantly altered in the plasma of psoriatic patients; this study characterizes the circulating lipids in psoriatic patients and provides novel insight into the role of lipids in psoriasis.

Abstract
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae serves as a model eukaryote to elucidate the regulation of lipid metabolism. In exponentially growing yeast, a diverse set of membrane lipids are synthesized from the precursor phosphatidate via the liponucleotide intermediate CDP-diacylglycerol. As cells exhaust nutrients and progress into the stationary phase, phosphatidate is channeled via diacylglycerol to the synthesis of triacylglycerol. The CHO1-encoded phosphatidylserine synthase, which catalyzes the committed step in membrane phospholipid synthesis via CDP-diacylglycerol, and the PAH1-encoded phosphatidate phosphatase, which catalyzes the committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis are regulated throughout cell growth by genetic and biochemical mechanisms to control the balanced synthesis of membrane phospholipids and triacylglycerol. The loss of phosphatidate phosphatase activity (e.g., pah1Δ mutation) increases the level of phosphatidate and its conversion to membrane phospholipids by inducing Cho1 expression and phosphatidylserine synthase activity. The regulation of the CHO1 expression is mediated through the inositol-sensitive upstream activation sequence (UASINO), a cis-acting element for the phosphatidate-controlled Henry (Ino2-Ino4/Opi1) regulatory circuit. Consequently, phosphatidate phosphatase activity regulates phospholipid synthesis through the transcriptional regulation of the phosphatidylserine synthase enzyme.

Abstract
The PAH1-encoded phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP), which catalyzes the committed step for the synthesis of triacylglycerol in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, exerts a negative regulatory effect on the level of phosphatidate used for the de novo synthesis of membrane phospholipids. This raises the question whether PAP thereby affects the expression and activity of enzymes involved in phospholipid synthesis. Here, we examined the PAP-mediated regulation of CHO1-encoded phosphatidylserine synthase (PSS), which catalyzes the committed step for the synthesis of major phospholipids via the CDP-diacylglycerol pathway. The lack of PAP in the pah1Δ mutant highly elevated PSS activity, exhibiting a growth-dependent up-regulation from the exponential to the stationary phase of growth. Immunoblot analysis showed that the elevation of PSS activity results from an increase in the level of the enzyme encoded by CHO1 Truncation analysis and site-directed mutagenesis of the CHO1 promoter indicated that Cho1 expression in the pah1Δ mutant is induced through the inositol-sensitive upstream activation sequence (UASINO), a cis-acting element for the phosphatidate-controlled Henry (Ino2-Ino4/Opi1) regulatory circuit. The abrogation of Cho1 induction and PSS activity by a CHO1 UASINO mutation suppressed pah1Δ effects on lipid synthesis, nuclear/endoplasmic reticulum membrane morphology, and lipid droplet formation, but not on growth at elevated temperature. Loss of the DGK1-encoded diacylglycerol kinase, which converts diacylglycerol to phosphatidate, partially suppressed the pah1Δ-mediated induction of Cho1 and PSS activity. Collectively, these data showed that PAP activity controls the expression of PSS for membrane phospholipid synthesis.

Abstract
Close contacts between organelles, often called membrane contact sites (MCSs), are regions where lipids are exchanged between organelles. Here, we identify a novel mechanism by which cells promote phospholipid exchange at MCSs. Previous studies have shown that phosphatidylserine (PS) synthase activity is highly enriched in portions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in contact with mitochondria. The objective of this study was to determine whether this enrichment promotes PS transport out of the ER. We found that PS transport to mitochondria was more efficient when PS synthase was fused to a protein in the ER at ER-mitochondria contacts than when it was fused to a protein in all portions of the ER. Inefficient PS transport to mitochondria was corrected by increasing tethering between these organelles. PS transport to endosomes was similarly enhanced by PS production in regions of the ER in contact with endosomes. Together, these findings indicate that PS production at MCSs promotes PS transport out of the ER and suggest that phospholipid production at MCSs may be a general mechanism of channeling lipids to specific cellular compartments.

Abstract
Diacylglyceryltrimethylhomoserines (DGTS) are betaine-type lipids that are phosphate-free analogs of phosphatidylcholines (PC). DGTS are abundant in some bacteria, algae, primitive vascular plants and fungi. In this study, we report inorganic phosphate (Pi) deficiency-induced DGTS synthesis in the basidial fungus Flammulina velutipes (Curt.: Fr.) Sing. We present results of an expression analysis of the BTA1 gene that codes for betaine lipid synthase and two genes of PC biosynthesis (CHO2 and CPT1) during phosphate starvation of F. velutipes culture. We demonstrate that FvBTA1 gene has increased transcript abundance under phosphate starvation. Despite depletion in PC, both CHO2 and CPT1 were determined to have increased expression. We also describe the deduced amino acid sequence and genomic structure of the BTA1 gene in F. velutipes. Phylogenetic relationships between putative orthologs of BTA1 proteins of basidiomycete fungi are discussed.

Abstract
The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is a popular yeast expression system for the production of heterologous proteins in biotechnology. Interestingly, cell organelles which play an important role in this process have so far been insufficiently investigated. For this reason, we started a systematic approach to isolate and characterize organelles from P. pastoris. In this study, we present a procedure to isolate microsomal membranes at high purity. These samples represent endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fractions which were subjected to molecular analysis of lipids and proteins. Organelle lipidomics included a detailed analysis of glycerophospholipids, fatty acids, sterols and sphingolipids. The microsomal proteome analyzed by mass spectrometry identified typical proteins of the ER known from other cell types, especially Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but also a number of unassigned gene products. The lipidome and proteome analysis of P. pastoris microsomes are prerequisite for a better understanding of functions of this organelle and for modifying this compartment for biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) are the main membrane phospholipids (PLs) of Plasmodium parasites and can be generated by the de novo (Kennedy) CDP-choline and CDP-ethanolamine pathways and by the CDP-diacylglycerol dependent pathway. The Kennedy pathways initiate from exogenous choline and ethanolamine involving choline kinase (CK) and ethanolamine kinase (EK), followed by the choline-phosphate cytidylyltransferase (CCT) and ethanolamine-phosphate cytidylyltransferase (ECT) that catalyse the formation of CDP-choline and CDP-ethanolamine. Finally, in Plasmodium, PC and PE are apparently synthesized by a common choline/ethanolamine-phosphotransferase (CEPT). Here, we have studied the essential nature of the Kennedy pathways in Plasmodium berghei, a rodent malaria parasite. Sequence analysis of the P. berghei CEPT, CCT, ECT and CK enzymes revealed the presence of all catalytic domains and essential residues and motifs necessary for enzymatic activities. Constructs were designed for the generation of gene knockout and GFP-fusions of the cept, cct, ect and ck genes in P. berghei. We found that all four genes were consistently refractory to knockout attempts. At the same time, successful tagging of these proteins with GFP demonstrated that the loci were targetable and indicated that these genes are essential in P. berghei blood stage parasites. GFP-fusions of CCT, ECT and CK were found in the cytosol whereas the GFP-CEPT mainly localised in the endoplasmic reticulum. These results indicate that both CDP-choline and CDP-ethanolamine de novo pathways are essential for asexual P. berghei development and are non-redundant with other possible sources of PC and PE.

Abstract
The CHO1-encoded phosphatidylserine synthase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is phosphorylated and inhibited by protein kinase A in vitro. CHO1 alleles bearing Ser(46) --> Ala and/or Ser(47) --> Ala mutations were constructed and expressed in a cho1Delta mutant lacking phosphatidylserine synthase. In vitro, the S46A/S47A mutation reduced the total amount of phosphorylation by 90% and abolished the inhibitory effect protein kinase A had on phosphatidylserine synthase activity. The enzyme phosphorylation by protein kinase A, which was time- and dose-dependent and dependent on the concentration of ATP, caused a electrophoretic mobility shift from a 27-kDa form to a 30-kDa form. The two electrophoretic forms of phosphatidylserine synthase were present in exponential phase cells, whereas only the 27-kDa form was present in stationary phase cells. In vivo labeling with (32)P(i) and immune complex analysis showed that the 30-kDa form was predominantly phosphorylated when compared with the 27-kDa form. However, the S46A/S47A mutations abolished the protein kinase A-mediated electrophoretic mobility shift. The S46A/S47A mutations also caused a 55% reduction in the total amount of phosphatidylserine synthase in exponential phase cells and a 66% reduction in the amount of enzyme in stationary phase cells. In phospholipid composition analysis, cells expressing the S46A/S47A mutant enzyme exhibited a 57% decrease in phosphatidylserine and a 40% increase in phosphatidylinositol. These results indicate that phosphatidylserine synthase is phosphorylated on Ser(46) and Ser(47) by protein kinase A, which results in a higher amount of enzyme for the net effect of stimulating the synthesis of phosphatidylserine.

Abstract
The CHO1-encoded phosphatidylserine synthase (CDP-diacylglycerol:l-serine O-phosphatidyltransferase, EC 2.7.8.8) is one of the most highly regulated phospholipid biosynthetic enzymes in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. CHO1 expression is regulated by nutrient availability through a regulatory circuit involving a UAS(INO) cis-acting element in the CHO1 promoter, the positive transcription factors Ino2p and Ino4p, and the transcriptional repressor Opi1p. In this work, we examined the post-transcriptional regulation of CHO1 by mRNA stability. CHO1 mRNA was stabilized in mutants defective in deadenylation (ccr4Delta), mRNA decapping (dcp1), and the 5'-3'-exonuclease (xrn1), indicating that the CHO1 transcript is primarily degraded through the general 5'-3' mRNA decay pathway. In respiratory-sufficient cells, the CHO1 transcript was moderately stable with a half-life of 12 min. However, the CHO1 transcript was stabilized to a half-life of >45 min in respiratory-deficient (rho(-) and rho(o)) cells, the cox4Delta mutant defective in the cytochrome c oxidase, and wild type cells treated with KCN (a cytochrome c oxidase inhibitor). The increased CHO1 mRNA stability in response to respiratory deficiency caused increases in CHO1 mRNA abundance, phosphatidylserine synthase protein and activity, and the synthesis of phosphatidylserine in vivo. Respiratory deficiency also caused increases in the activities of CDP-diacylglycerol synthase, phosphatidylserine decarboxylase, and the phospholipid methyltransferases. Phosphatidylinositol synthase and choline kinase activities were not affected by respiratory deficiency. This work advances our understanding of phosphatidylserine synthase regulation and underscores the importance of mitochondrial respiration to the regulation of phospholipid synthesis in S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a very abundant membrane lipid in most eukaryotes including the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Consequently, the molecular species profile of PC, i.e. the ensemble of PC molecules with acyl chains differing in number of carbon atoms and double bonds, is important in determining the physical properties of eukaryotic membranes, and should be tightly regulated. In this review current insights in the contributions of biosynthesis, turnover, and remodeling by acyl chain exchange to the maintenance of PC homeostasis at the level of the molecular species in yeast are summarized. In addition, the phospholipid class-specific changes in membrane acyl chain composition induced by PC depletion are discussed, which identify PC as key player in a novel regulatory mechanism balancing the proportions of bilayer and non-bilayer lipids in yeast.

Abstract
Zinc is an essential nutrient required for the growth and metabolism of eukaryotic cells. In this work, we examined the effects of zinc depletion on the regulation of phospholipid synthesis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Zinc depletion resulted in a decrease in the activity levels of the CDP-diacylglycerol pathway enzymes phosphatidylserine synthase, phosphatidylserine decarboxylase, phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase, and phospholipid methyltransferase. In contrast, the activity of phosphatidylinositol synthase was elevated in response to zinc depletion. The level of Aut7p, a marker for the induction of autophagy, was also elevated in zinc-depleted cells. For the CHO1-encoded phosphatidylserine synthase, the reduction in activity in response to zinc depletion was controlled at the level of transcription. This regulation was mediated through the UAS(INO) element and by the transcription factors Ino2p, Ino4p, and Opi1p that are responsible for the inositol-mediated regulation of UAS(INO)-containing genes involved in phospholipid synthesis. Analysis of the cellular composition of the major membrane phospholipids showed that zinc depletion resulted in a 66% decrease in phosphatidylethanolamine and a 29% increase in phosphatidylinositol. A zrt1Delta zrt2Delta mutant (defective in the plasma membrane zinc transporters Zrt1p and Zrt2p) grown in the presence of zinc exhibited a phospholipid composition similar to that of wild type cells depleted for zinc. These results indicated that a decrease in the cytoplasmic levels of zinc was responsible for the alterations in phospholipid composition.
