Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotic cells, the content of sphingoid long-chain bases (LCBs) is generally much lower than that of complex sphingolipids and ceramides, and the quantitative balance of these metabolites in cells is tightly regulated. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it has been demonstrated that exogenously added phytosphingosine (PHS) causes a strong growth defect in tryptophan auxotrophic cells, due to...
