Acetylcholinesterase Activity Influenced by Lipid Membrane Area and Surface Acoustic Waves
Micromachines, 2022 According to the current model of nerve propagation, the function of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is to terminate synaptic transmission of nerve signals by hydrolyzing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) in the synaptic cleft to acetic acid (acetate)

Trends in Cell Biology, 1998 The thin membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum matures into the thick plasma membrane in the Golgi apparatus. Along the way, the concentrations of cholesterol and sphingolipids increase. Here, Gerrit van Meer discusses how this phenomenon may reflect an intricate lipid-protein sorting machinery.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Functional characterisation of the lipid raft protein stomatin [PDF]
, 2005 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).

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mitochondrial remodeling shapes neural and glial lineage progression by matching metabolic supply with demand. Elevated OXPHOS supports differentiation and myelin formation, while myelin compaction lowers mitochondrial dependence, revealing mitochondria as key drivers of developmental energy adaptation.

The effect of modulating membrane lipid composition on the thermal sensitivity of tumour cells in culture [PDF]
, 1989 The plasma membrane, which separates intracellular contents from extra cellular milieu, consists of a lipid bilayer comprising mainly phospholipids and cholesterol together with various functional proteins, which control the interaction of the cell with ...

Protein-induced modulation of chloroplast membrane morphology
, 2012 Organelles are surrounded by membranes with a distinct lipid and protein composition. While it is well established that lipids affect protein functioning and vice versa, it has been only recently suggested that elevated membrane protein concentrations ...

Amphipathic Peptides Impede Lipid Domain Fusion in Phase-Separated Membranes
Membranes, 2021 Cell membranes are heterogeneous in lipid composition which leads to the phase separation with the formation of nanoscopic liquid-ordered domains, also called rafts.

Lipid-itraconazole Interaction in Lipid Model Membranes
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1991 Abstract Itraconazole, a lipophilic, fungal sterol-biosynthesis inhibitor, does not disturb membrane organization parameters measured by differential scanning calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy. Conformational analysis studies suggest that the molecular volume and the position of itraconazole in the lipid membrane is similar to that ...
