An edible-oil degrading bacterial strain HH-01 was isolated from oil plant gummy matter and was classified as a member of the genus Bacillus on the basis of the nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene. A putative lipase gene and its flanking regions were cloned from the strain based on its similarity to lipase genes from other Bacillus spp. The deduced product was composed of 214 amino acids and the putative mature protein, consisting of 182 amino acids, exhibited 82% amino acid sequence identity with the subfamily I.4 lipase LipA of Bacillus subtilis 168. The recombinant product was successfully overproduced as a soluble form in Escherichia coli and showed lipase activity. The gene was, therefore, designated as lipA of HH-01. HH-01 LipA was stable at pH 4-11 and up to 30°C, and its optimum pH and temperature were 8-9 and 30°C, respectively. The enzyme showed preferential hydrolysis of the 1(3)-position ester bond in trilinolein. The activity was, interestingly, enhanced by supplementing with 1 mM CoCl(2), in contrast to other Bacillus lipases. The lipA gene seemed to be constitutively transcribed during the exponential growth phase, regardless of the presence of edible oil.

Background And Aims: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and other disorders with similar features are common genetic disorders that remain underdiagnosed and undertreated, due in part to the cost of screening. The aim of this study was to design and implement a whole gene targeted NGS panel for the molecular diagnosis of FH and statin intolerance with an emphasis on high quality variant calling, including copy number analysis.
Methods: A whole gene panel for hybridisation-based short read NGS was designed for the dominant FH-genes low density lipoprotein receptor (), apolipoprotein B (APOB), proproteinconvertas subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), apolipoprotein E (APOE) and the recessive FH-genes low density lipoprotein receptor adaptor protein 1 (), ATP binding cassette subfamily member 5/8 (ABCG5/8) and lipase A, lysosomal acid type (), as well as solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (), not an FH gene but linked to statin intolerance.

This study focuses on a novel lipase from Bacillus licheniformis IBRL-CHS2. The lipase gene was cloned into the pGEM-T Easy vector, and its sequences were registered in GenBank (KU984433 and AOT80658). It was identified as a member of the bacterial lipase subfamily 1.

The mechanisms governing adipose tissue macrophage (ATM) metabolic adaptation during diet-induced obesity (DIO) are poorly understood. In obese adipose tissue, ATMs are exposed to lipid fluxes, which can influence the activation of specific inflammatory and metabolic programs and contribute to the development of obesity-associated insulin resistance and other metabolic disorders. In the present study, we demonstrate that the membrane ATP-binding cassette g1 (Abcg1) transporter controls the ATM functional response to fatty acids (FAs) carried by triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, which are abundant in high-energy diets.

Phospholipids and their metabolites play an important role in maintaining the membrane integrity and the metabolic functions of keratinocytes under physiological conditions and in the regeneration process after exposure to high-energy UVB radiation. Therefore, in the search for compounds with a protective and regenerative effect on keratinocyte phospholipids, the effectiveness of two antioxidant compounds has been tested: a stable derivative of ascorbic acid, 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid (EAA) and cannabigerol (CBG), both of which are primarily located in the membrane structures of keratinocytes. In addition, this study has demonstrated that EAA and CBG, especially in a two-component combination, enhance the antioxidant properties of keratinocytes and reduce lipid peroxidation assessed at the level of MDA (malondialdehyde)/neuroprostanes.
