Lipid Rafts and Plant Gravisensitivity. [PDF]
Life (Basel), 2022 The necessity to include plants as a component of a Bioregenerative Life Support System leads to investigations to optimize plant growth facilities as well as a better understanding of the plant cell membrane and its numerous activities in the signaling, transport, and sensing of gravity, drought, and other stressors.

Lipid rafts, cholesterol, and the brain [PDF]
Neuropharmacology, 2008 Lipid rafts are specialized membrane microdomains that serve as organizing centers for assembly of signaling molecules, influence membrane fluidity and trafficking of membrane proteins, and regulate different cellular processes such as neurotransmission and receptor trafficking.

Lipid Rafts and Pseudotyping [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2001 ABSTRACTSpecific interactions between envelope and core proteins govern the membrane assembly of most enveloped viruses. Despite this, mixed infections lead to pseudotyping, the association of the viral cores of one virus with the envelopes of another. How does this occur?

Structure of Cholesterol in Lipid Rafts [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2014 Rafts, or functional domains, are transient nano- or mesoscopic structures in the plasma membrane and are thought to be essential for many cellular processes such as signal transduction, adhesion, trafficking and lipid/protein sorting. Observations of these membrane heterogeneities have proven challenging, as they are thought to be both small and short-

Planta, 2005 About two decades ago a provocative hypothesis evolved suggesting that the plasma membrane (PM) of mammalian and probably other eukaryotic cells constitutes a mosaic of patches comprising particular molecular compositions. These scattered lipid bilayer microdomains are supposedly enriched in sterols as well as sphingolipids and depleted in unsaturated ...

Plant Physiology, 2007 Current thinking on lipid membrane organization has evolved from the seminal fluid mosaic model proposed by [Singer and Nicolson (1972)][1]. Subsequent studies on plasma membranes suggest that biological membranes are not a simple homogeneous layer of proteins and lipids, but rather are ...

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 The role of SMLR1 in lipid metabolism (high fat + cholesterol diet in mice) Abstract Background and Aims The assembly and secretion of VLDL from the liver, a pathway that affects hepatic and plasma lipids, remains incompletely understood. We set out to identify players in the VLDL biogenesis pathway by identifying genes that are co‐expressed with the ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009 The Singer-Nicholson model of membranes postulated a uniform lipid bilayer randomly studded with floating proteins. However, it became clear almost immediately that membranes were not uniform and that clusters of lipids in a more ordered state existed within the generally disorder lipid milieu of the membrane.

Lipid rafts and membrane traffic [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2007 Membrane rafts are regions of increased lipid acyl chain order that differ in their lipid and protein composition from the surrounding membrane. By providing an additional level of compartmentalization they have been proposed to serve many functions in cellular signal transduction and trafficking. We will review their potential involvement in different

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...
