(B) UV-A-irradiated or dark-adapted clickSph and caSph-1 were incubated with lysates of yeast cells lacking ceramide synthases (-) or expressing human ceramide synthase CerS5 (+). Metabolic conversion to ceramide was monitored by TLC analysis of lipid extracts click-reacted with Alexa-647-azide. Note that metabolic conversion of caSph-1, unlike that of clickSph, is light sensitive.
