Monitoring voltage fluctuations of intracellular membranes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 In eukaryotic cells, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the largest continuous membrane-enclosed network which surrounds a single lumen. Using a new genetically encoded voltage indicator (GEVI), we applied the patch clamp technique to cultured HEK293 ...

Chloride channels of intracellular membranes. [PDF]
FEBS Lett, 2010 Proteins implicated as intracellular chloride channels include the intracellular ClC proteins, the bestrophins, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, the CLICs, and the recently described Golgi pH regulator. This paper examines current hypotheses regarding roles of intracellular chloride channels and reviews the evidence supporting a

TRP channels of intracellular membranes. [PDF]
J Neurochem, 2010 J. Neurochem. (2010) 113, 313–328.AbstractIon channels are classically understood to regulate the flux of ions across the plasma membrane in response to a variety of environmental and intracellular cues. Ion channels serve a number of functions in intracellular membranes as well.

Intracellular membranes of bacterial endospores are reservoirs for spore core membrane expansion during spore germination. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 Bacterial endospores are formed by certain bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis or the pathogenic Bacillus anthracis and Clostridioides difficile, to allow survival in environmental conditions which are lethal to vegetative bacteria.

The SUMO-specific isopeptidase SENP2 is targeted to intracellular membranes via a predicted N-terminal amphipathic α-helix. [PDF]
Mol Biol Cell, 2018 Sumoylation regulates a wide range of essential cellular functions, many of which are associated with activities in the nucleus. Although there is also emerging evidence for the involvement of the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) at intracellular ...

Bright and photostable push-pull pyrene dye visualizes lipid order variation between plasma and intracellular membranes. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 Imaging lipid organization in cell membranes requires advanced fluorescent probes. Here, we show that a recently synthesized push-pull pyrene (PA), similarly to popular probe Laurdan, changes the emission maximum as a function of lipid order, but ...
