Evolutionarily conserved long-chain Acyl-CoA synthetases regulate membrane composition and fluidity

Evolutionarily conserved long-chain Acyl-CoA synthetases regulate membrane composition and fluidity

The human AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 proteins, as well as their C. elegans homolog PAQR-2, protect against cell membrane rigidification by exogenous saturated fatty acids by regulating phospholipid composition. Here, we show that mutations in the C. elegans gene acs-13 help to suppress the phenotypes of pa...
