Fats and function:protein lipid modifications in plant cell signalling [PDF]
The post-translational lipid modifications N-myristoylation, prenylation and S-acylation are traditionally associated with increasing protein membrane affinity.

GM1a [Galβ1-3GalNAcβ1-4(NeuAcα2-3)Galβ1-4Glcβ1-1Cer] is known to support and protect neuronal functions. However, we report that α-linolenic acid-containing GM1a (C18:3-GM1a), which was prepared using the reverse hydrolysis reaction of sphingolipid ...

The Effects of Cholesterol Oxidation on Erythrocyte Plasma Membranes: A Monolayer Study
Cholesterol plays a key role in the molecular and mesoscopic organisation of lipid membranes and it is expected that changes in its molecular structure (e.g., through environmental factors such as oxidative stress) may affect adversely membrane ...

Metabotropic Purinergic Receptors in Lipid Membrane Microdomains
There is broad evidence that association of transmembrane receptors and signalling molecules with lipid rafts/caveolae provides an enriched environment for protein-protein interactions necessary for signal transduction, and a mechanism for the modulation of neurotransmitter and/or growth factor receptor function.

Chitin perception in plasmodesmata characterizes submembrane immune-signaling specificity in plants [PDF]
The plasma membrane (PM) is composed of heterogeneous subdomains, characterized by differences in protein and lipid composition. PM receptors can be dynamically sorted into membrane domains to underpin signaling in response to extracellular stimuli.

Nuclear Lipid Microdomains Regulate Daunorubicin Resistance in Hepatoma Cells [PDF]
Daunorubicin is an anticancer drug, and cholesterol is involved in cancer progression, but their relationship has not been defined. In this study, we developed a novel experimental model that utilizes daunorubicin, cholesterol, and daunorubicin plus cholesterol in the same cells (H35) to search for the role of nuclear lipid microdomains, rich in ...

The cytosolic N-terminus of CD317/tetherin is a membrane microdomain exclusion motif
Summary The integral membrane protein CD317/tetherin has been associated with a plethora of biological processes, including restriction of enveloped virus release, regulation of B cell growth, and organisation of membrane microdomains.
