Lipid bilayer composition influences small multidrug transporters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background: Membrane proteins are influenced by their surrounding lipids. We investigate the effect of bilayer composition on the membrane transport activity of two members of the small multidrug resistance family; the Escherichia coli transporter, EmrE

Active site geometry stabilization of a presenilin homolog by the lipid bilayer promotes intramembrane proteolysis

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Cleavage of membrane proteins in the lipid bilayer by intramembrane proteases is crucial for health and disease. Although different lipid environments can potently modulate their activity, how this is linked to their structural dynamics is unclear. Here,

Lipid Polymorphism of the Subchloroplast—Granum and Stroma Thylakoid Membrane—Particles. I. 31P-NMR Spectroscopy

open access: yesCells, 2021
Build-up of the energized state of thylakoid membranes and the synthesis of ATP are warranted by organizing their bulk lipids into a bilayer. However, the major lipid species of these membranes, monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, is a non-bilayer lipid.
