168 results about "Sphingolipid" patented technology

Sphingolipids are a class of lipids containing a backbone of sphingoid bases, a set of aliphatic amino alcohols that includes sphingosine. They were discovered in brain extracts in the 1870s and were named after the mythological sphinx because of their enigmatic nature. These compounds play important roles in signal transduction and cell recognition. Sphingolipidoses, or disorders of sphingolipid metabolism, have particular impact on neural tissue. A sphingolipid with an R group consisting of a hydrogen atom only is a ceramide. Other common R groups include phosphocholine, yielding a sphingomyelin, and various sugar monomers or dimers, yielding cerebrosides and globosides, respectively. Cerebrosides and globosides are collectively known as glycosphingolipids.

Large-scale blood plasma sphingolipid profile analysis method based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry combination

The invention discloses a large-scale blood plasma sphingolipid profile analysis method based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry combination, which is characterized in that sphingolipid in blood plasma is extracted by double-phase extraction with methyl tertiary butyl ether / methanol / water (MTBE / MeOH / H2O) combined with mild basic hydrolysis. Then rapid semi-quantitative analysis is realized within 15 min by combination of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electro-spray ionization-mass spectrometry. In the invention, the MTBE / MeOH / H2O extraction system is simple, rapid, and easy to operate, has less protein interference in the extract, and has good repeatability; interference of high-abundance phospholipid and glyceride in the lipid group is eliminated by hydrolysis; ion inhibition is reduced; therefore, the purpose of detecting low-abundance sphingolipid with high sensitivity is achieved. With the high resolution separation capability of subsequent ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and the specificity of MRM, effective distinguishing of isomers is realized, and the introduction of complex isotope correction during quantification is avoided, which makes the method more rapid and accurate.

Compositions and methods to protect cells by blocking entry of pathogen proteins

Pathogenic effector proteins which include one or more RxLR, dEER, Pexel or analogous motifs are blocked from entry into plant or animal cells by binding one or more of the motifs with a blocking compound which prevents binding of phosphoinositides or other polar lipids to the motifs which is a prerequisite for translocation of the pathogenic effector proteins into the plant or animal cell. The blocking compounds can take a variety of forms including synthetic peptides or the hydrophilic head-groups of phosphoinositides, phosphatidic acids, phospholipids, or sphingolipids. Suitable blocking compounds can be identified by assays demonstrating binding to RxLR, dEER, Pexel or analogous motifs. In addition, pathogenic effector proteins can be identified by analyzing whether they contain structural RxLR motifs using hidden markov modeling.
