Regulation of lipid saturation without sensing membrane fluidity

Cells maintain membrane fluidity by regulating lipid saturation, but the molecular mechanisms of this homeoviscous adaptation remain poorly understood. Here authors reconstituted the core machinery for regulating lipid saturation in baker’s yeast to directly characterize its response to defined memb...
