A rapid and simple method for the isolation of membranes from subcellular organelles is described. The procedure consists of diluting the organelles in ice-cold 100 mM Na2CO3 followed by centrifugation to pellet the membranes.

Three new Drosophila markers of intracellular membranes
The need for cellular markers that permit a quick and accurate evaluation of a protein's subcellular localization has increased with the surge of new data generated by the Drosophila genome project. In this report, we present three ubiquitously expressed

Dengue virus infection perturbs lipid homeostasis in infected mosquito cells. [PDF]
Dengue virus causes ∼50-100 million infections per year and thus is considered one of the most aggressive arthropod-borne human pathogen worldwide.

Hijacking intracellular membranes to feed autophagosomal growth
Autophagy is widely considered as a housekeeping mechanism that enables cells to survive stress conditions and, in particular, nutrient deprivation. Autophagy begins with the formation of the phagophore that expands and closes around cytosolic material ...

Fission of a multiphase membrane tube [PDF]
A common mechanism for intracellular transport is the use of controlled deformations of the membrane to create spherical or tubular buds. While the basic physical properties of homogeneous membranes are relatively well-known, the effects of ...

Intracellular mGluR5 plays a critical role in neuropathic pain [PDF]
Spinal mGluR5 is a key mediator of neuroplasticity underlying persistent pain. Although brain mGluR5 is localized on cell surface and intracellular membranes, neither the presence nor physiological role of spinal intracellular mGluR5 is established. Here

A lysozyme-like protein in Brucella abortus is involved in the early stages of intracellular replication [PDF]
Secretion of proteins in Gram-negative bacteria is a high-energy consuming process that requires the translocation across two membranes and a periplasmic space composed of a mesh like layer, the peptidoglycan.

Vitamin A Transport Mechanism of the Multitransmembrane Cell-Surface Receptor STRA6. [PDF]
Vitamin A has biological functions as diverse as sensing light for vision, regulating stem cell differentiation, maintaining epithelial integrity, promoting immune competency, regulating learning and memory, and acting as a key developmental morphogen ...

Cell Penetrating Peptides as Molecular Carriers for Anti-Cancer Agents
Cell membranes with their selective permeability play important functions in the tight control of molecular exchanges between the cytosol and the extracellular environment as the intracellular membranes do within the internal compartments.
