Thrilled to share this #lipidtime story in @JCellBiol where, led by Shiying Huang and in collaboration with Tamas Balla’s lab, we uncover plasticity in phospholipid metabolism to preserve plasma membrane identity and integrity in the face of disease-relevant perturbations!

Journal of Cell Biology @JCellBiol Jun 26

How does the plasma #membrane preserve its #lipid identity under stress? The Baskin and Balla labs report a homeostatic circuit linking PI4P, phosphatidylserine, RhoB, and phospholipase D-driven phosphatidic acid. hubs.la/Q04mQjrC0

Proximity labeling enthusiasts: check out this innovative study from my @CornellChem colleague Ciaran Seath on a genetically encoded small tag for intracellular PL. So cool to see a new use for Roger Tsien’s FlAsH — transformative ideas have long tails indeed.

New in @J_A_C_S: @BrianChenChem & @adityabhatta00 used photoaffinity labeling to map the localization and interactome of the amphiphilic lipid lysophosphatidic acid and found nanoscale-level heterogeneity within ER membranes! pubs.acs.org/jacsat/article…
