P.3 left column 2nd paragraph: "Plasma membrane in mammalian cell usually contains, ~30–40% cholesterol and ~10–20% sphingolipid of total plasma membrane lipids (primary sources). Budding yeast does not have cholesterol and sphingomyelin instead contains inositol phosphoceramide (IPC) and ergosterol, an equivalent of mammalian sphingolipid and cholesterol (Montefusco et al., 2013, 2014, Aguilera-Romero et al., 2014)." |
