Article Synopsis
- Glycosyl-inositol-phospho-ceramides (GIPCs) are important lipids in plant and fungal membranes that help with stress adaptation, but analyzing them is complicated due to extraction challenges.
- A new method was developed using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry to quickly and sensitively identify GIPCs in common fungal pathogens like Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium graminearium.
- The findings showed distinct GIPC signatures in the analyzed fungi, indicating that the MALDI-TOF technique is effective for detecting these lipids in filamentous fungi.
Life requires the maintenance of molecular function in the face of stochastic processes that tend to adversely affect macromolecular integrity. This is particularly relevant during ageing, as many cellular functions decline with age, including growth, mitochondrial function and energy metabolism. Protein synthesis must deliver functional proteins at all times, implying that the effects of protein synthesis errors like amino acid misincorporation and stop-codon read-through must be minimized during ageing.
