COVER: A cellular map of sphingolipid metabolism in the context of organelles that play a major role in sphingolipid processing is represented. Exogenously supplied odd chain d17dhSph is taken up from the media and incorporated into de novo sphingolipid metabolism within minutes. Utilizing mass spectrometry to follow the carbon deficient metabolic products establishes rates of label incorporation during the distinct temporal phases shown, which match the sequential transition from ER- to Golgi-based metabolism. The results can be utilized to assess relative activity for each of these enzymatic components in the sphingolipid network.(See Snider et al. p. 1046.)...
