Abstract excerpt
Sphingolipid long chain bases (LCBs) and phosphorylated derivatives, particularly sphingosine 1-phosphate, are putative signaling molecules. To help elucidate the physiological roles of LCB phosphates, we identified two Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes, LCB4 (YOR171c) and LCB5 (YLR260w), which encode LCB kinase activity. This conclusion is based upon the synthesis of LCB kinase activity in Escherichia coli...
