Domain Growth Kinetics in a Cell-sized Liposome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We investigated the kinetics of domain growth on liposomes consisting of a ternary mixture (unsaturated phospholipid, saturated phospholipid, and cholesterol) by temperature jump.

Fish oil increases raft size and membrane order of B cells accompanied by differential effects on function

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2012
Fish oil (FO) targets lipid microdomain organization to suppress T-cell and macrophage function; however, little is known about this relationship with B cells, especially at the animal level. We previously established that a high FO dose diminished mouse

An outlook on protein S-acylation in plants:what are the next steps? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
S-acylation, also known as palmitoylation, is the reversible post-translational addition of fatty acids to proteins. Historically thought primarily to be a means for anchoring otherwise soluble proteins to membranes, evidence now suggests that reversible

Lipidomic Comparison of Detergent-Soluble and Detergent-Resistant Lipid Domains Isolated From Rat Cerebellum and the Effect of Hypoxia-Ischemia Using UPLC-HDMS<sup>E</sup>. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Mass Spectrom
ABSTRACT Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) due to insufficient oxygen or blood flow to the brain can result in inflammation, impaired neurodevelopment, or death. Changes to microdomain lipid composition may contribute to altered structure and function of key regulatory processes; however, knowledge regarding changes to membrane lipid composition ...

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).

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.

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 Regulatory Roles of Cerebellar Glycosphingolipid Microdomains/Lipid Rafts

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Lipid rafts are dynamic assemblies of glycosphingolipids, sphingomyelin, cholesterol, and specific proteins which are stabilized into platforms involved in the regulation of vital cellular processes. Cerebellar lipid rafts are cell surface ganglioside microdomains for the attachment of GPI-anchored neural adhesion molecules and downstream signaling ...

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).
