The hepta-β-glucoside elicitor-binding proteins from legumes represent a putative receptor family [PDF]

, 2000
The ability of legumes to recognize and respond to β-glucan elicitors by synthesizing phytoalexins is consistent with the existence of a membrane-bound β-glucan-binding site.

Spastin Binds to Lipid Droplets and Affects Lipid Metabolism

PLOS Genetics, 2015
Mutations in SPAST, encoding spastin, are the most common cause of autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). HSP is characterized by weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs, owing to progressive retrograde degeneration of the long corticospinal axons.

Salt Modulates the Stability and Lipid Binding Affinity of the Adipocyte Lipid-binding Proteins [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003
Adipocyte lipid-binding protein (ALBP or aP2) is an intracellular fatty acid-binding protein that is found in adipocytes and macrophages and binds a large variety of intracellular lipids with high affinity. Although intracellular lipids are frequently charged, biochemical studies of lipid-binding proteins and their interactions often focus most heavily

Engineering cardiolipin binding to an artificial membrane protein reveals determinants for lipid-mediated stabilization

eLife
Integral membrane proteins carry out essential functions in the cell, and their activities are often modulated by specific protein-lipid interactions in the membrane.

Formation of unilamellar dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles promoted by Ca2+ ions: A small-angle neutron scattering study [PDF]

, 2007
Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) was hydrated in 0.2-60 mM solution of CaCl 2 in heavy water and thoroughly homogenized by freezing-thawing process.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Human apolipoprotein E7: lysine mutations in the carboxy-terminal domain are directly responsible for preferential binding to very low density lipoproteins

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Apolipoprotein E7 (apoE7) (apoE3 E244K/E245K) is a naturally occurring mutant in humans that is associated with increased plasma lipid levels and accelerated atherosclerosis.

The irreversible thermodynamics of curved lipid membranes

, 2017
The theory of irreversible thermodynamics for arbitrarily curved lipid membranes is presented here. The coupling between elastic bending and irreversible processes such as intra-membrane lipid flow, intra-membrane phase transitions, and protein binding ...

Unfolding and refolding of cytochrome c driven by the interaction with lipid micelles [PDF]

, 2000
Binding of native cyt c to L-PG micelles leads to a partially unfolded conformation of cyt c. This micelle-bound state has no stable tertiary structure, but remains as -helical as native cyt c in solution.

Binding of Peripheral Proteins to Mixed Lipid Membranes: Effect of Lipid Demixing upon Binding [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 1999
Binding isotherms have been determined for the association of horse heart cytochrome c with dioleoyl phosphatidylglycerol (DOPG)/dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) bilayer membranes over a range of lipid compositions and ionic strengths. In the absence of protein, the DOPG and DOPC lipids mix nearly ideally.
