Orm proteins integrate multiple signals to maintain sphingolipid homeostasis.

Abstract excerpt

Sphingolipids are structural components of membranes, and sphingolipid metabolites serve as signaling molecules. The first and rate-limiting step in sphingolipid synthesis is catalyzed by serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT). The recently discovered SPT-associated proteins, Orm1 and Orm2, are critical regulators of sphingolipids. Orm protein phosphorylation mediating feedback regulation of SPT activity occurs in...
