Sphingolipid-binding proteins
چکیده انگلیسی

Emerging information on sphingolipid metabolism and signaling is leading to a better understanding of cellular processes such as apoptosis, cancer, cell survival and aging. In this review, we discuss the involvement of sphingolipids in these processes and focus on underlying mechanisms based on sphingolipid:protein interactions. Due to the inherent difficulty of studying lipids, we discuss techniques that are useful in the elucidation of these interactions. We classify sphingolipid-binding proteins into four main classes: receptor, effector, enzyme, and transporter. Known structures of sphingolipid-binding proteins are surveyed, and sphingolipid-binding characteristics are described, acknowledging the limitations that there are presently insufficient protein:sphingolipid complexes for more definitive conclusions on this topic. Finally we summarize relevant literature to better inform the reader about sphingolipid:protein interactions.
