SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionSphinganine (dihydrosphingosine) is an intermediate in sphingolipid metabolism pathway. Sphingolipids are essential components of the plasma membrane in all eukaryotic cells. S. cerevisiae cells make three complex sphingolipids: inositol-phosphoceramide (IPC), mannose-inositol-phosphoceramide (MIPC), and mannosyl-diinositol-phosphorylceramide (M(IP)2C). Sphingolipid long chain bases (LCBs) - dihydrosphingosine (DHS) and phytosphingosine (PHS) - are implicated as secondary messengers in vital signaling pathways. [Biocyc SPHINGOLIPID-SYN-PWY]

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in linear amides
Specific function:
Catalyzes the conversion of dihydroceramide and also phytoceramide to dihydrosphingosine or phytosphingosine. Prefers dihydroceramide. Very low reverse hydrolysis activity, catalyzing synthesis of dihydroceramide from fatty acid and dihydrosphingosine. Is not responsible for the breakdown of unsaturated ceramide. May play a role in heat stress response
