The molecular basis of ceramide-1-phosphate recognition by C2 domains[S]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2013 Group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2α), which harbors an N-terminal lipid binding C2 domain and a C-terminal lipase domain, produces arachidonic acid from the sn-2 position of zwitterionic lipids such as phosphatidylcholine. The C2 domain has been

Lipid membrane binding of NK‐lysin
FEBS Letters, 1998 The membrane‐binding properties and pore‐forming potential of the tumor‐lysing and antibacterial polypeptide NK‐lysin were investigated. Fluorescence quenching experiments show a drastic change of accessibility to Trp58 in solution and in association with a lipid membrane.

Effect of Point Mutations on Structural and Allergenic Properties of the Lentil Allergen Len c 3
Membranes, 2021 Plant lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are known to be clinically significant allergens capable of binding various lipid ligands. Recent data showed that lipid ligands affected the allergenic properties of plant LTPs.

A saposin-lipoprotein nanoparticle system for membrane proteins. [PDF]
, 2016 A limiting factor in membrane protein research is the ability to solubilize and stabilize such proteins. Detergents are used most often for solubilizing membrane proteins, but they are associated with protein instability and poor compatibility with ...

Membrane and Protein Interactions of the Pleckstrin Homology Domain Superfamily
Membranes, 2015 The human genome encodes about 285 proteins that contain at least one annotated pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. As the first phosphoinositide binding module domain to be discovered, the PH domain recruits diverse protein architectures to cellular ...

Metabolic interactions between vitamin A and conjugated linoleic acid [PDF]
, 2014 Lipid-soluble molecules share several aspects of their physiology due to their common adaptations to a hydrophilic environment, and may interact to regulate their action in a tissue-specific manner.

Insulin-induced lipid binding to hemoglobin [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2003 Under hypoglycemic conditions, concomitant hyperinsulinism causes an apparent modification of hemoglobin (Hb) which is manifested by its aggregation (Niketi} et al., Clin. Chim. Acta 197 (1991) 47).

Evidence for the role of proteoglycans in cation-mediated gene transfer [PDF]
, 1996 We report evidence that gene complexes, consisting of polycations and plasmid DNA enter cells via binding to membrane-associated proteoglycans. Treatment of HeLa cells with sodium chlorate, a potent inhibitor of proteoglycan sulfation, reduced luciferase

Binding of Serotonin to Lipid Membranes [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2013 Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a prevalent neurotransmitter throughout the animal kingdom. It exerts its effect through the specific binding to the serotonin receptor, but recent research has suggested that neural transmission may also be affected by its nonspecific interactions with the lipid matrix of the synaptic membrane.
