Lipid and Lipidation in Membrane Fusion
The Journal of Membrane Biology, 2022 Membrane fusion plays a lead role in the transport of vesicles, neurotransmission, mitochondrial dynamics, and viral infection. There are fusion proteins that catalyze and regulate the fusion. Interestingly, various types of fusion proteins are present in nature and they possess diverse mechanisms of action.

An Overview of Lutein in the Lipid Membrane. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 Lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin (a steroisomer of zeaxanthin) are macular pigments. They modify the physical properties of the lipid bilayers in a manner similar to cholesterol. It is not clear if these pigments are directly present in the lipid phase of the membranes, or if they form complexes with specific membrane proteins that retain them ...

Lipid membranes with an edge [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2002 Consider a lipid membrane with a free exposed edge. The energy describing this membrane is quadratic in the extrinsic curvature of its geometry; that describing the edge is proportional to its length. In this note we determine the boundary conditions satisfied by the equilibria of the membrane on this edge, exploiting variational principles.

FEBS Letters, 1974 Today, as in 1964, those who are concerned with membranes are broadly divided into two main groups: investigators who work on lipids and others who study proteins. Whether one pursues mainly this aspect or that is often more the result of individual interest and background rather than the outcome of a decision that one particular aspect of membranes is

Spiroplasma membrane lipids [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1985 Membranes of six spiroplasma strains belonging to different Spiroplasma species and subgroups were isolated by a combination of osmotic lysis and sonication in the presence of EDTA to block endogenous phospholipase activity. Analysis of membrane lipids showed that in addition to free and esterified cholesterol the spiroplasmas incorporated exogenous ...

Life, 2023 Lateral phase separation within lipid bilayer membranes has attracted considerable attention in the fields of biophysics and cell biology. Living cells organize laterally segregated compartments, such as raft domains in an ordered phase, and regulate ...

Lipids regulate the hydrolysis of membrane bound glucosylceramide by lysosomal β-glucocerebrosidase
Journal of Lipid Research, 2017 Glucosylceramide (GlcCer) is the primary storage lipid in the lysosomes of Gaucher patients and a secondary one in Niemann-Pick disease types A, B, and C.

Journal of Lipid Research, 2014 During endocytosis, membrane components move to intraluminal vesicles of the endolysosomal compartment for digestion. At the late endosomes, cholesterol is sorted out mainly by two sterol-binding proteins, Niemann-Pick protein type C (NPC)1 and NPC2.
