Abstract excerpt
The regulation of phosphatidylserine (PS) distribution across the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells has been implicated in numerous cell functions (e.g. apoptosis and coagulation). In a recent study, fluorescent phospholipids labeled in the acyl chain with 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1, 3-diazol-4-yl (NBD) were used to identify two members of the P4 subfamily of P-type ATPases, Dnf1p and Dnf2p, that are necessary for the...
