A Model of Lipid Monolayer–Bilayer Fusion of Lipid Droplets and Peroxisomes
Membranes, 2022 Lipid droplets are unique organelles that store neutral lipids encapsulated by the lipid monolayer. In some processes of cellular metabolism, lipid droplets interact with peroxisomes resulting in the fusion of their envelopes and the formation of ...

Influence of PLIN5 and lipid composition on lipid droplet contact sites with other organelles [PDF]
Biochemistry and Biophysics ReportsLipid droplets (LDs) maintain cellular lipid homeostasis through dynamic interactions with other organelles. Understanding how these contact sites form is crucial for uncovering the mechanisms of lipid exchange and signaling. In this study, we used an in

Vesicle fusion with bilayer lipid membrane controlled by electrostatic interaction
Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2017 The fusion of proteoliposomes is a promising approach for incorporating membrane proteins in artificial lipid membranes. In this study, we employed an electrostatic interaction between vesicles and supported bilayer lipid membranes (s-BLMs) to control ...

SNARE proteins mediate lipid bilayer fusion [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 Lipid bilayers compartmentalize eukaryotic cells into distinct organelles. This compartmentalization allows for specialization of diverse cellular processes, from DNA polymerization to zymogen proteolysis. While the specific complement of proteins present in each organelle defines its function, there is a dynamic flux between these organelles.
