Role of Membrane GM1 on Early Neuronal Membrane Actions of Aβ During Onset of Alzheimer\u27s Disease [PDF]
, 2017 The ability of beta-amyloid peptide (Aβ) to disrupt the plasma membrane through formation of pores and membrane breakage has been previously described. However, the molecular determinants for these effects are largely unknown.

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Apoptotic signalling targets the post-endocytic sorting machinery of the death receptor Fas/CD95
Nature Communications, 2019 Fas is a death receptor that regulates apoptosis in many cell types and is downregulated on the cell surface in many cancers. Here, Sharma et al. show that endosome associated trafficking regulator ENTR1 regulates delivery of Fas to lysosomes, thereby ...

New Channelrhodopsin with a Red-Shifted Spectrum and Rapid Kinetics from
mBio, 2011 Light control of motility behavior (phototaxis and photophobic responses) in green flagellate algae is mediated by sensory rhodopsins homologous to phototaxis receptors and light-driven ion transporters in prokaryotic organisms. In the phototaxis process,

Indirect interactions of membrane-adsorbed cylinders
, 2003 Biological and biomimetic membranes often contain aggregates of embedded or adsorbed macromolecules. In this article, the indirect interactions of cylindrical objects adhering to a planar membrane are considered theoretically.

Characterization of individual polynucleotide molecules using a membrane channel.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1996 We show that an electric field can drive single-stranded RNA and DNA molecules through a 2.6-nm diameter ion channel in a lipid bilayer membrane. Because the channel diameter can accommodate only a single strand of RNA or DNA, each polymer traverses the ...

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

Electrostatic forces on charged surfaces of bilayer lipid membranes [PDF]
, 2013 Simulating protein-membrane interactions is an important and dynamic area of research. A proper definition of electrostatic forces on membrane surfaces is necessary for developing electromechanical models of protein-membrane interactions. Here we modeled
