Lipid Raft Microdomains [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2002
Spatiotemporal aspects of filovirus entry and release are poorly understood. Lipid rafts act as functional platforms for multiple cellular signaling and trafficking processes. Here, we report the compartmentalization of Ebola and Marburg viral proteins within lipid rafts during viral assembly and budding.

Variational Methods for Biomolecular Modeling

open access: yes, 2016
Structure, function and dynamics of many biomolecular systems can be characterized by the energetic variational principle and the corresponding systems of partial differential equations (PDEs).

Membrane fluidity matters: Hyperthermia from the aspects of lipids and membranes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Hyperthermia is a promising treatment modality for cancer in combination both with radio- and chemotherapy. In spite of its great therapeutic potential, the underlying molecular mechanisms still remain to be clarified.

A novel soluble analog of the HIV-1 fusion cofactor, globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), eliminates the cholesterol requirement for high affinity gp120/Gb3 interaction

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2002
We have analyzed the interaction of adamantyl Gb3 (adaGb3), a semi-synthetic soluble analog of Gb3, with HIV-1 surface envelope glycoprotein gp120. In this analog, which was orginally designed to inhibit verotoxin binding to its glycolipid receptor, Gb3,

The trafficking and targeting of P2X receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The functional expression of P2X receptors at the plasma membrane is dependent on their trafficking along secretory and endocytic pathways. There are seven P2X receptor subunits, and these differ in their subcellular distributions because they have very ...

Thematic Review Series: Sphingolipids. Role of ganglioside metabolism in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease—a review*1

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2008
Gangliosides are expressed in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane of the cells of all vertebrates and are particularly abundant in the nervous system. Ganglioside metabolism is closely associated with the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The Molecular Switching Mechanism at the Conserved D(E)RY Motif in Class-A GPCRs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The disruption of ionic and H-bond interactions between the cytosolic ends of transmembrane helices TM3 and TM6 of class-A (rhodopsin-like) G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is a hallmark for their activation by chemical or physical stimuli.

Chitin perception in plasmodesmata characterizes submembrane immune-signaling specificity in plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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.

Comparative lipidomics in clinical isolates of Candida albicans reveal crosstalk between mitochondria, cell wall integrity and azole resistance. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Prolonged usage of antifungal azoles which target enzymes involved in lipid biosynthesis invariably leads to the development of multi-drug resistance (MDR) in Candida albicans.

α1-nAchR-Mediated Signaling Through Lipid Raft Is Required for Nicotine-Induced NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Nicotine-Accelerated Atherosclerosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
BackgroundNicotine exerts direct effects on multiple cell types in the cardiovascular system by associating with its high-affinity nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAchRs).
