“…Bile acids are hydroxylated steroids indispensable to the solubilization and digestion of dietary lipids. 43 They are synthesized in the liver and stocked in the gallbladder. Then, they can be conjugated to the amino-acids glycine and taurine in the gastrointestinal tract to form bile salts.…”

“…Lipids are major membrane components (phospholipids, glycosphingolipids, cholesterol) 36 . But they endorse many other types of role in the homeostasis of living organisms: they are signaling molecules, including secondary messengers (phosphatidylinositol‐3,4,5‐triphosphate [PIP3], diacylglycerol [DAG]) or prostaglandins, 38 vitamin precursors or transporters of fat‐soluble vitamins, 39 they can endow hormonal functions (ecdysone in arthropods, or estrogens, androgens, glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids in mammals), 40 are used as co‐/post‐translational modifications (acylation, prenylation, cholesteroylation), 41 are carriers of odoriferous activity in plants (monoterpenes in essential oils), 42 of sexual pheromone like bombykol, 43 are crucial players in digestion (bile acids and salts), 44 and can endorse many other roles in the homeostasis of living organisms (Figure 2).…”

Control of lipid metabolism by the dynamic and nutrient‐dependent post‐translational modification O‐GlcNAcylation

O-GlcNAcylation is a post-translational modification belonging to the large group of glycosylations. It consists of the modification of cytoplasmic, nuclear, and mitochondrial proteins with a single N-acetylglucosamine residue by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). Despite its structural simplicity, O-GlcNAcylation orchestrates many functions inside the cell. This modification regulates fatty acids synthesis, fat storage, and utilization. The generation of white and brown adipocyte-OGT knock-out mice has highlighted the marked interference of O-GlcNAcylation in adiposity and, as a consequence, in metabolic pathologies. OGT is more especially involved in the regulation of lipolysis, and thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. In addition, O-GlcNAcylation directly regulates fatty acid synthase, the main enzyme responsible for fatty acids synthesis, and other lipogenic enzymes and transcription factors. Nevertheless, only a few studies reported connections between O-GlcNAcylation and homeostasis of cholesterol or its derivatives. This knowledge gap is surprising due to the crucial importance of cholesterol in structuring animal biological membranes and as a precursor of a wide variety of biological compounds. Here, we review the current literature about this topic and discuss future prospects in the field.

The evolution of sexual communication is critically important in the diversity of arthropods, which are declining at a fast pace worldwide. Their environments are rapidly changing, with increasing chemical, acoustic, and light pollution. To predict how arthropod species will respond to changing climates, habitats, and communities, we need to understand how sexual communication systems can evolve. In the past decades, intraspecific variation in sexual signals and responses across different modalities has been identified, but never in a comparative way. In this review, we identify and compare the level and extent of intraspecific variation in sexual signals and responses across three different modalities, chemical, acoustic, and visual, focusing mostly on insects. By comparing causes and possible consequences of intraspecific variation in sexual communication among these modalities, we identify shared and unique patterns, as well as knowledge needed to predict the evolution of sexual communication systems in arthropods in a changing world. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Entomology, Volume 69 is January 2024. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
