gene CERS2, recombinant expression of C-terminally HA-tagged CerS2 and of chimeric HA-tagged CerS5:CerS2 heterodimer in HEK-293 cells, recombinant expression of FLAG-tagged CerS2 in HEK-293 cells. Isozymes CerS5 and CerS6 modulate CerS2 activity upon coexpression | Homo sapiens |

additional information | cloning of a chimeric HA-tagged CerS5:CerS2 isozymes heterodimer, insertion of a transmembrane (TM) domain3 between the two monomers of the dimer (CerS5:TM:CerS5-HA). Chimeric mutant CerS5:TM:CerS2-HA displays slightly more activity using C16-CoA as substrate than CerS5, but remarkably, CerS2 activity measured using C22-CoA is elevated by 3fold. Isozymes CerS5 and CerS6 modulate CerS2 activity upon coexpression. This increase in CerS2 activity is abolished using a noncatalytically active form of CerS5 in the constitutive dimer (CerS5HH:TM:CerS2-HA), demonstrating that optimal CerS2 activity depends on an interaction with a catalytically active form of CerS5 | Homo sapiens |

dimer | dimer CerS activity can be modulated by dimer formation. CerS2 activity is enhanced by co-expression with a catalytically active form of CerS5 or CerS6. CerS dimers are formed rapidly upon stimulation of ceramide synthesis | Homo sapiens |
