Functional characterisation of the lipid raft protein stomatin [PDF]
The function of the integral membrane protein stomatin is as yet poorly understood. Stomatin is deficient from the erythrocyte membrane of patients suffering with Overhydrated Hereditary Stomatocytosis (OHSt).

A proteomic analysis of lipid raft and GPI anchored proteins in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored proteins are a unique group of membrane proteins found on the surface and certain intracellular compartments of eukaryotic cells.

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

Lipidomics in research on yeast membrane lipid homeostasis [PDF]
Mass spectrometry is increasingly used in research on membrane lipid homeostasis, both in analyses of the steady state lipidome at the level of molecular lipid species, and in pulse-chase approaches employing stable isotope-labeled lipid precursors ...

Special Issue on “Sphingolipids: From Pathology to Therapeutic Perspectives”
It is an honor for us to dedicate this Special Issue to our dearest friend Lina Obeid, who was not only a pioneer in the field of sphingolipids, but also a remarkable personality [...]

The catabolism of ganglioside GM2 is dependent on three gene products. Mutations in any of these genes result in a different type of GM2 gangliosidosis (Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, and the B1 and AB variants of GM2 gangliosidosis), with GM2 as ...

With the aim of better understanding the nature of metabolism in the first cells and the relationship between the origin of life and the origin of metabolism, we propose three criteria that a chemical reaction system must satisfy in order to constitute a

Lipid bilayer composition influences small multidrug transporters [PDF]
Background: Membrane proteins are influenced by their surrounding lipids. We investigate the effect of bilayer composition on the membrane transport activity of two members of the small multidrug resistance family; the Escherichia coli transporter, EmrE

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 ...

Spiroplasma membrane lipids [PDF]
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 ...
