1 In this study, we show that lag1 Delta lac1 Delta cells have reduced sphingolipid levels due to a block of the fumonisin B1-sensitive and acyl-CoA-dependent ceramide synthase reaction. Sphingolipids sphingosine N-acyltransferase LAG1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
2 The sphingolipid synthesis defect in lag1 Delta lac1 Delta cells can be partially corrected by overexpression of YPC1 or YDC1, encoding ceramidases that have been reported to have acyl-CoA-independent ceramide synthesis activity. Acyl Coenzyme A sphingosine N-acyltransferase LAG1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
3 The sphingolipid synthesis defect in lag1 Delta lac1 Delta cells can be partially corrected by overexpression of YPC1 or YDC1, encoding ceramidases that have been reported to have acyl-CoA-independent ceramide synthesis activity. Ceramides sphingosine N-acyltransferase LAG1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
4 Quadruple mutant cells (lag1 Delta lac1 Delta ypc1 Delta ydc1 Delta) do not make any sphingolipids, but are still viable probably because they produce novel lipids. Sphingolipids sphingosine N-acyltransferase LAG1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
5 Moreover, lag1 Delta lac1 Delta cells are resistant to aureobasidin A, an inhibitor of the inositolphosphorylceramide synthase, suggesting that aureobasidin A may be toxic because it leads to increased ceramide levels. aureobasidin A sphingosine N-acyltransferase LAG1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
6 Moreover, lag1 Delta lac1 Delta cells are resistant to aureobasidin A, an inhibitor of the inositolphosphorylceramide synthase, suggesting that aureobasidin A may be toxic because it leads to increased ceramide levels. aureobasidin A sphingosine N-acyltransferase LAG1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
7 Moreover, lag1 Delta lac1 Delta cells are resistant to aureobasidin A, an inhibitor of the inositolphosphorylceramide synthase, suggesting that aureobasidin A may be toxic because it leads to increased ceramide levels. Ceramides sphingosine N-acyltransferase LAG1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
