Spontaneous charged lipid transfer between lipid vesicles [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractAn assay to study the spontaneous charged lipid transfer between lipid vesicles is described. A donor/acceptor vesicle system is employed, where neutrally charged acceptor vesicles are fluorescently labelled with the electrostatic membrane probe Fluoresceinphosphatidylethanolamine (FPE).

Plasma lipid transfer proteins. [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 1988 The plasma lipid transfer proteins mediate the transfer and exchange of phospholipids and neutral lipids between the plasma lipoproteins. The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and the phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) are members of the lipid transfer/lipopolysaccharide binding gene family.

Advances on the Transfer of Lipids by Lipid Transfer Proteins [PDF]
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2017 Transfer of lipid across the cytoplasm is an essential process for intracellular lipid traffic. Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are defined by highly controlled in vitro experiments. The functional relevance of these is supported by evidence for the same reactions inside cells.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1984 Lipid transfer proteins were discovered in our labe ratory as a result of studies that began with the question: How are lipid components of plasma lipoproteins taken up by the liver cell? It soon became apparent that these cells contained a cytosolic factor ( I ) , which transferred PC from one membrane to another.

Spartin-mediated lipid transfer facilitates lipid droplet turnover. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 AbstractLipid droplets (LDs) are organelles critical for energy storage and membrane lipid homeostasis, whose number and size are carefully regulated in response to cellular conditions. The molecular mechanisms underlying lipid droplet biogenesis and degradation, however, are not well understood.

ANKFY1 bridges ATG2A-mediated lipid transfer from endosomes to phagophores [PDF]
Cell DiscoveryMacroautophagy is a process that cells engulf cytosolic materials by autophagosomes and deliver them to lysosomes for degradation. The biogenesis of autophagosomes requires ATG2 as a lipid transfer protein to transport lipids from existing membranes to ...

Spartin is a Lipid Transfer Protein That Facilitates Lipid Droplet Turnover [PDF]
ContactOne means by which cells reutilize neutral lipids stored in lipid droplets is to degrade them by autophagy. This process involves spartin, mutations of which cause the rare inherited disorder Troyer syndrome (or spastic paraplegia-20, SPG20).

ER-PM Contact Sites – SNARING Actors in Emerging Functions
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The compartmentalisation achieved by confining cytoplasm into membrane-enclosed organelles in eukaryotic cells is essential for maintaining vital functions including ATP production, synthetic and degradative pathways.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Lipids are the main energy source for embryonic development in oviparous animals. Prior to the utilization and catabolism, lipids are primarily transported from the yolk sac to embryonic tissues.
