Membrane-spanning lipids for an uncompromised monitoring of membrane fusion and intermembrane lipid transfer

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2015
A Förster resonance energy transfer-based fusion and transfer assay was developed to study, in model membranes, protein-mediated membrane fusion and intermembrane lipid transfer of fluorescent sphingolipid analogs.

Hydrophobic Mismatch Controls the Mode of Membrane-Mediated Interactions of Transmembrane Peptides

open access: yesMembranes, 2022
Various cellular processes require the concerted cooperative action of proteins. The possibility for such synchronization implies the occurrence of specific long-range interactions between the involved protein participants.

Quantification and visualization of phosphoinositides by quantum dot-labeled specific binding-domain probes

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2012
Phosphoinositides (PI) play important regulatory roles in cell physiology. Localization and quantitation of PIs within the cell is necessary to understand their precise function.

Optical Switches for Lipid Membranes: Computed Molecular Projection Area as a Switch Selection Criterion

open access: yesColloids and Interfaces, 2022
Optical switches in lipid membranes are an emerging tool to tune the properties of the bilayer or membrane protein integrated therein. Here, we use simple geometry and physics considerations to deduce structural criteria to design efficient ...

Membrane-Mediated Interactions Between Protein Inclusions

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
Integral or peripheral membrane proteins, or protein oligomers often get close to each other on cell membranes and carry out biological tasks in a collective manner.

Phospholipid Preparations to Characterize Protein–Lipid Interactions In Vitro

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2023
The lipid bilayers of the cell are composed of various lipid classes and species. These engage in cell signaling and regulation by recruiting cytosolic proteins to the membrane and interacting with membrane-embedded proteins to alternate their activity ...

Membrane curvature sorts lipids [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Reports, 2005
The enrichment of sphingolipids and cholesterol in the mammalian plasma membrane, and unsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the endoplasmic reticulum, requires lipid sorting in the Golgi apparatus. Most sphingolipids are synthesized in the Golgi lumen (Holthuis & Levine, 2005).

A Brief Introduction to Some Aspects of the Fluid–Mosaic Model of Cell Membrane Structure and Its Importance in Membrane Lipid Replacement

open access: yesMembranes, 2021
Early cell membrane models placed most proteins external to lipid bilayers in trimolecular structures or as modular lipoprotein units. These thermodynamically untenable structures did not allow lipid lateral movements independent of membrane proteins ...
