Localization of messenger RNA (mRNAs) contributes to generation and maintenance of cellular asymmetry, embryonic development and neuronal function. The She1-3 protein machinery in Saccharomyces cerevisiae localizes >30 mRNAs to the bud tip, including 13 mRNAs encoding membrane or secreted proteins. Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles can co-localize with tubular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) structures that form the initial elements for segregation of cortical ER (cER), suggesting a coordination of mRNA localization and cER distribution. By investigating localization of MS2-tagged mRNAs in yeast defective at various stages of cER segregation, we demonstrate that proper cER segregation is required for localization of only a subset of mRNAs. These mRNAs include WSC2, IST2, EAR1 and SRL1 that encode membrane or ER associated proteins and are expressed during S and G2 phases of the cell cycle when tubular ER movement into the bud occurs. Translation of WSC2 is not required for localization, ruling out co-translational targeting of this mRNA. Localization of ASH1 mRNA is independent of cER segregation, which is consistent with the expression pattern of ASH1 at late mitosis. Our findings indicate the presence of two different pathways to localize mRNAs to the yeast bud.

The discovery of a novel sphingolipid subclass, the (1-deoxy)sphingolipids, which lack the 1-hydroxy group, attracted considerable attention in the last decade, mainly due to their involvement in disease. They differed in their physico-chemical properties from the canonical (or 1-hydroxy) sphingolipids and they were more toxic when accumulated in cells, inducing neurodegeneration and other dysfunctions. (1-Deoxy)ceramides, (1-deoxy)dihydroceramides, and (1- deoxymethyl)dihydroceramides, the latter two containing a saturated sphingoid chain, have been studied in this work using differential scanning calorimetry, confocal fluorescence and atomic force microscopy, to evaluate their behavior in bilayers composed of mixtures of three or four lipids.

The lipid raft subdomains in cancer cell membranes play a key role in signal transduction, biomolecule recruitment, and drug transmembrane transport. Augmented membrane rigidity due to the formation of a lipid raft is unfavorable for the entry of drugs, a limiting factor in clinical oncology. The short-chain ceramide (CER) has been reported to promote drug entry into membranes and disrupt lipid raft formation, but the underlying mechanism is not well understood.

Dairy goats experience metabolic stress during the peripartal period, and their ability to navigate this stage of lactation is related to the occurrence and development of metabolic diseases. Unlike dairy cows, there is a lack of comprehensive analysis of changes in the plasma profiles of peripartal dairy goats, particularly using high-throughput techniques. A subset of 9 clinically-healthy dairy goats were used from a cohort of 96 primiparous Guanzhong dairy goats (BCS, 2.
