Lipid Raft, Regulator of Plasmodesmal Callose Homeostasis

open access: yesPlants, 2017
: The specialized plasma membrane microdomains known as lipid rafts are enriched by sterols and sphingolipids. Lipid rafts facilitate cellular signal transduction by controlling the assembly of signaling molecules and membrane protein trafficking ...

Lipid raft size and lipid mobility in non-raft domains increase during aging and are exacerbated in APP/PS1 mice model of Alzheimer’s disease. Predictions from an agent-based mathematical model [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2016
A connection between lipid rafts and Alzheimer’s disease has been studied during the last decades. Mathematical modeling approaches have recently been used to correlate the effects of lipid composition changes in the physicochemical properties of raft ...

Genotype-induced changes in biophysical properties of frontal cortex lipid raft from APP/PS1 transgenic mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2012
Alterations in the lipid composition of lipid rafts have been demonstrated both in human brain and transgenic mouse models, and it has been postulated that aberrant lipid composition in lipid rafts is partly responsible for neuronal degeneration.

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).

Cold induces micro- and nano-scale reorganization of lipid raft markers at mounds of T-cell membrane fluctuations. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
Whether and how cold causes changes in cell-membrane or lipid rafts remain poorly characterized. Using the NSOM/QD and confocal imaging systems, we found that cold caused microscale redistribution of lipid raft markers, GM1 for lipid and CD59 for protein,

Role of membrane microdomains in compartmentation of cAMP signaling. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Spatially restricting cAMP production to discrete subcellular locations permits selective regulation of specific functional responses. But exactly where and how cAMP signaling is confined is not fully understood.

Generation of stable lipid raft microdomains in the enterocyte brush border by selective endocytic removal of non-raft membrane. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The small intestinal brush border has an unusually high proportion of glycolipids which promote the formation of lipid raft microdomains, stabilized by various cross-linking lectins. This unique membrane organization acts to provide physical and chemical

Comprehensive bioinformatic analyses of KRAS mutations and deciphering chromatin modification landscape of Caveolin-1 gene by lipid raft destabilization induced modulation of RAS-MAPK axis in colon cancer

open access: yesAdvances in Cancer Biology - Metastasis, 2022
Ras signaling contributes to multiple components of cellular functions. To gain insight into the role of KRAS mutant isoforms, we bioinformatically analyzed and noticed that KRAS mutations at G12V, G12D, and G13D positions are prominent in colorectal ...

UL11 Protein Is a Key Participant of the Duck Plague Virus in Its Life Cycle

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Tegument protein UL11 plays a critical role in the life cycle of herpesviruses. The UL11 protein of herpesviruses is important for viral particle entry, release, assembly, and secondary envelopment.
