Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Drives Heat Adaptation by Sequestering Fatty Acids

Cells adapt to temperature shifts by adjusting levels of lipid desaturation and membrane fluidity. This fundamental process occurs in nearly all forms of life, but its mechanism in eukaryotes is unknown. We discovered that the evolutionarily conserved C. elegans gene acdh-11 (acyl CoAdehydrogenase,...
