doi: 10.1101/2023.09.28.560019
Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Pearson correlation of co-dependencies between FLVCR1 and all genes computed from CRISPR DepMap Chronos 2023Q2. Genes in the ethanolamine (gold) and choline (blue) branches of the Kennedy pathway are highlighted. b , Schematic of the ethanolamine (left) and choline (right) branches of the Kennedy pathway. c-d , Uptake of 2 µM ethanolamine (c) or 21.5 µM choline (d) by control HEK293T cells, FLVCR1 -knockout HEK293T cells expressing a vector control, and FLVCR1 -knockout HEK293T cells expressing FLVCR1 cDNA normalized to the uptake of control HEK293T cells. Error bars represent the standard deviation, n=3. e , Uptake of 2 µM ethanolamine by FLVCR1 -knockout HEK293T cells expressing a vector control (grey) or FLVCR1 cDNA (black), incubated for the indicated time point. Error bars represent the standard deviation, n=3. f , Uptake of ethanolamine by FLVCR1 -knockout HEK293T cells expressing a vector control (grey) or FLVCR1 cDNA (black), incubated with the indicated total ethanolamine concentration for 30 minutes. Error bars represent the standard deviation, n=3. g , Substrate-binding site in the ethanolamine-bound state. Residues and modelled substrates are shown as sticks. Density is shown as a grey isosurface and contoured at 3.0 α. h-i , Superposition of substrate-binding sites in the choline-bound (blue) and ethanolamine-bound (gold) states, shown in two views. Substrate-binding site residues and modelled substrates are shown as sticks.
