Abstract

Intracellular pH and Lipid Metabolism Intracellular pH regulates metabolism by poorly understood mechanisms, but biosensors are likely to be important in this process. Young et al. (p. 1085 ) took a systems-biology approach in yeast to identify in excess of 200 genes that regulate phospholipid metabolism. They found that the signaling lipid, phosphatidic acid, appeared to act as a cytosolic biosensor via the pH-dependent binding of protein effectors to phosphatidic acid. This pH-dependent mechanism directly affects gene expression and is involved in a pathway in which nutrient availability regulates phospholipid metabolism to control production of membranes.
