Encapsulation of Living Leishmania Promastigotes in Artificial Lipid Vacuoles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 After phagocytosis by mammalian macrophages, promastigote forms of Leishmania parasites settle inside intracellular parasitophorous vacuoles (PVs) in which they transform into amastigote forms and replicate.

Electrochemiluminescence Imaging of Liposome Permeabilization by an Antimicrobial Peptide: Melittin
Chemical & Biomedical Imaging, 2023 The permeabilization of liposomes by melittin, an antimicrobial peptide (AMP), has been studied by an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imaging strategy. The methodology consisted first of encapsulating ECL reagents in sealed giant asymmetrical liposomes ...

“Force-From-Lipids” Dependence of the MscCG Mechanosensitive Channel Gating on Anionic Membranes
Microorganisms, 2023 Mechanosensory transduction in Corynebacterium glutamicum plays a major role in glutamate efflux for industrial MSG, whose production depends on the activation of MscCG-type mechanosensitive channels.

Formation of Giant Unilamellar Proteo-Liposomes by Osmotic Shock [PDF]
Langmuir, 2015 Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), composed of a phospholipid bilayer, are often used as a model system for cell membranes. However, the study of proteo-membrane interactions in this system is limited as the incorporation of integral and lipid-anchored proteins into GUVs remains challenging.

Using small molecules to facilitate exchange of bicarbonate and chloride anions across liposomal membranes [PDF]
, 2009 Bicarbonate is involved in a wide range of biological processes, which include respiration, regulation of intracellular pH and fertilization. In this study we use a combination of NMR spectroscopy and ion-selective electrode techniques to show that the ...

Single-molecule analysis of the entire perfringolysin O pore formation pathway
eLife, 2022 The cholesterol-dependent cytolysin perfringolysin O (PFO) is secreted by Clostridium perfringens as a bacterial virulence factor able to form giant ring-shaped pores that perforate and ultimately lyse mammalian cell membranes. To resolve the kinetics of

Protrusive growth from giant liposomes driven by actin polymerization [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 Development of protrusions in the cell is indispensable in the process of cell motility. Membrane protrusion has long been suggested to occur as a result of actin polymerization immediately beneath the cell membrane at the leading edge, but elucidation of the mechanism is insufficient because of the complexity of the cell.
