Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is the most abundant phospholipid in eukaryotic membranes and is synthesized in part via the rate-limiting enzyme PCYT1A. In humans, hypomorphic PCYT1A variants cause diverse disorders. To define how graded reductions in PC synthesis affect organismal physiology, we generated and characterized a series of mutant alleles in the Caenorhabditis elegans homolog pcyt-1, including variants...
