Roles of Phospholipase A/Acyltransferase Enzymes in Membrane Remodelling and Organelle Degradation
Biological processes involving changes in membrane structure and properties require cells to adjust their membrane lipid composition accordingly. One of the ways cells can rapidly generate a diverse repertoire of membrane lipids is through remodelling the fatty acid tails of phospholipids. This …

Utilising microalgal mixotrophy to maximise larval nutrition
… 2.13 %) in autotrophic cultures, alongside lipid membrane remodelling in T. suecica. Other cost reduction strategies were trialled including media optimisation, screening for growth of P. tricornutum with crude glycerol and quantifying changes in the nutrient removal from the media. Utilising the …

Understanding Membrane Curvature Sensing
Eukaryotic cells are characterised by membranes with varied and dynamic compositions and shapes. Consequently, membrane-binding proteins are tuned to recognise and modify these membrane states to perform their functions. To study the curvature sensitivity of proteins, I have developed a …

Autogramin-2, a synthetic sterol, inhibits T cell adhesion and effector function
Plasma membrane resident cholesterol is a key regulator of T cell immunity as it stabilises immune synapses, thus supporting effector T cell function. Recent publications suggest that increasing plasma membrane cholesterol content boosts anti-viral and anti-cancer immunity in T cells. Inhibition of …

Intracellular signalling by arachidonic acid metabolites
… in amnion, choriodecidua and placental membranes and PPAR-δ was significantly increased all tissues with labour. PPAR-α expression was reduced in chorio-decidua, but was significantly higher in placenta with labour. The changes observed with labour suggest that regulation of PPAR …
