Lipids are one of the major components of biological membranes including the plasma
membrane, which is the interface between the cell and the environment. It has become clear …

Phosphatidic acid (PA) is the simplest cellular glycerophospholipid characterized by unique
biophysical properties: a small headgroup; negative charge; and a phosphomonoester …

Many signalling proteins permanently or transiently localize to specific organelles. It is well
established that certain lipids act as biochemical landmarks to specify compartment identity …

Organisms have evolved under gravitational force, and many sense the direction of gravity
by means of statoliths in specialized cells. In flowering plants, starch-accumulating plastids …

Membrane surface charge is critical for the transient, yet specific recruitment of proteins with
polybasic regions to certain organelles. In eukaryotes, the plasma membrane (PM) is the …

Polarized exocytosis is essential for many vital processes in eukaryotic cells, where
secretory vesicles are targeted to distinct plasma membrane domains characterized by their …

The signalling lipid phosphatidic acid (PA) is involved in regulating various fundamental
biological processes in plants. However, the mechanisms of PA action remain poorly …

Among the cellular lipids, phosphatidic acid (PA) is a peculiar one as it is at the same time a
key building block of phospholipid synthesis and a major lipid second messenger conveying …

Membrane lipidomes are dynamic and their changes generate lipid mediators affecting
various biological processes. Phosphatidic acid (PA) has emerged as an important class of …

Flagellin perception is a keystone of pattern-triggered immunity in plants. The recognition of
this protein by a plasma membrane (PM) receptor complex is the beginning of a signaling …
