Untargeted Lipidomics of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus-Infected Cells and Viral Particles
Viruses, 2021 The viral lifecycle is critically dependent upon host lipids. Enveloped viral entry requires fusion between viral and cellular membranes. Once an infection has occurred, viruses may rely on host lipids for replication and egress.

Functions of SNAREs in intracellular membrane fusion and lipid bilayer mixing [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2005 Intracellular membrane fusion occurs with exquisite coordination and specificity. Each fusion event requires three basic components: Rab-GTPases organize the fusion site; SNARE proteins act during fusion; and N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) plus its cofactor α-SNAP are required for recycling or activation of the fusion machinery.

Sensing-Applications of Surface-Based Single Vesicle Arrays
Sensors, 2010 A single lipid vesicle can be regarded as an autonomous ultra-miniaturised 3D biomimetic “scaffold” (Ø ≥ 13 nm) ideally suited for reconstitution and interrogation of biochemical processes. The enclosing lipid bilayer membrane of a vesicle can be applied

Membranes, 2022 Membrane proteins are broadly classified as transmembrane (TM) or peripheral, with functions that pertain to only a single bilayer at a given time. Here, we explicate a class of proteins that contain both transmembrane and peripheral domains, which we ...

Coiled-Coil Formation on Lipid Bilayers—Implications for Docking and Fusion Efficiency [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2012 Coiled-coil formation of four different oligopeptides was characterized in solution, on hydrogels, and on membranes by employing circular dichroism spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy, and ellipsometry.

Scientific Reports, 2023 Membrane fusion is an essential step for the entry of enveloped viruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus and influenza virus, into the host cell, often triggered by the binding of membrane proteins on the viral envelope to host cell membrane ...

Formation of supported lipid bilayers of charged E. coli lipids on modified gold by vesicle fusion
MethodsX, 2017 We describe a simple way of fusing E. coli lipid vesicles onto a gold surface. Supported lipid bilayers on metal surfaces are interesting for several reasons: transducing a biological signal to an electric readout, using surface analytical tools such as ...
