SphK1 and SphK2, Sphingosine Kinase Isoenzymes with Opposing Functions in Sphingolipid Metabolism*
The potent sphingolipid metabolite sphingosine 1-phosphate is produced by phosphorylation of sphingosine catalyzed by sphingosine kinase (SphK) types 1 and 2. In contrast to pro-survival SphK1, the… Expand

Sphingosine Kinase Type 2 Is a Putative BH3-only Protein That Induces Apoptosis*
There are two isoforms of sphingosine kinase (SphK) that catalyze the formation of sphingosine 1-phosphate, a potent sphingolipid mediator. Whereas SphK1 stimulates growth and survival, here we show… Expand

Hypoxia Adaptations in the Grey Wolf (Canis lupus chanco) from Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
The Tibetan grey wolf (Canis lupus chanco) occupies habitats on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a high altitude (>3000 m) environment where low oxygen tension exerts unique selection pressure on… Expand

Overlapping and Distinct Roles of Aspergillus fumigatus UDP-glucose 4-Epimerases in Galactose Metabolism and the Synthesis of Galactose-containing Cell Wall Polysaccharides*
Background: Aspergillus fumigatus produces two galactose-containing exopolysaccharides, galactomannan and galactosaminogalactan. Results: Galactosaminogalactan synthesis requires the UDP-glucose… Expand
