Sphingolipids
• Are needed for: – Membrane impermeability – Molecular signalling– Sorting – Cell-cell recognition
• Block in synthesis compromises cell growth and survival
• However, intermediates of synthesis are mediators of cell stress pathways
• Accumulation results in growth arrest and cell death

Problem: Essential genes
• Essential genes cannot be screened • Solution: the use of hypomorphic alleles • mRNA of gene is destabilized • Lower expression

• ORM1/2 deletion
causes increased flux throughout the pathway

Orm proteins form a complex with LCB synthase
SPOTS
![Page 18: Orm family proteins mediate sphingolipid homeostasis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/568163e9550346895dd555ae/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SPOTS is conserved from yeast to humans
![Page 19: Orm family proteins mediate sphingolipid homeostasis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/568163e9550346895dd555ae/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What is known until here?– Orm proteins are part of a conserved complex
called SPOTS. – Orm1/2 negatively regulate LCBs synthesis by
acting directly on Lcb1/2. – Orm function is conserved in human cells.
Why would cells include negative regulators of LCB Synthase, Orm1/2?

Orm 1/2 are regulated in response to distribution of sphingolipid synthesis
Myriocin = LCB synthase inhibitor

Orm 1/2 undergo phosphorylation and respond to myriocin treatment
• Orm regulation : • Alteration in Orm1/2 expresion levels. X• Block of the interaction with Lcb1/2 and Sac1
![Page 24: Orm family proteins mediate sphingolipid homeostasis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/568163e9550346895dd555ae/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Phosphorylation of Orm proteins is a homeostatic response to disruption of
early precursors.
Increase Orm phosphorilation.
No phosphorilation response.
![Page 26: Orm family proteins mediate sphingolipid homeostasis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/568163e9550346895dd555ae/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Mapping phosphorylation sites
![Page 27: Orm family proteins mediate sphingolipid homeostasis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081517/568163e9550346895dd555ae/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Lcb1 interaction with Orm 1/2 is mantained even without Orm phosphorilation.
Blocking phosphorylation does not disrupt the complex
Blocking of phosphorilation prevents the change in higher order assembly of the SPOTS complex.

Orm phosphorylation removes the negative control of LCB synthase.

Orm proteins control sphingolipid homeostasis in the Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Orm proteins are homeostatic regulators of sphingolipid metabolism. •Without Orm mediated brake on SPT there is toxic accumulation of sphingolipids.•Normal intermidiate phosphorylation will give chance to a rapid responce.

Orm proteins control sphingolipid homeostasis in the Endoplasmic Reticulum
• SPOTS could act as a coordinating center that couples changes in sphingolipids and nutrients to the activity and localization of key enzymes of lipid metabolism and trafficiking.

Article relevance
• Provides a starting point for studying how protein and lipid synthesis is coordinated during membrane biogenesis.
• Disregulation of sphingolipid metabolism may contribute to the development of childhood asthma.
• New Approach, which allow studies in proteins with know function.

Questions still to be solved
–How do Orm proteins regulate SPT?
–Which kinases and phosphatases control Orm phosphorilation?
–What is the identity of the sphingolipid intermediate whose levels are sensed to regulate Orm activity.
