Membrane Curvature Sensing by Amphipathic Helices Is Modulated by the Surrounding Protein Backbone. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Membrane curvature is involved in numerous biological pathways like vesicle trafficking, endocytosis or nuclear pore complex assembly. In addition to its topological role, membrane curvature is sensed by specific proteins, enabling the coordination of ...

Theoretical model for the formation of caveolae and similar membrane invaginations [PDF]
, 2004 We study a physical model for the formation of bud-like invaginations on fluid lipid membranes under tension, and apply this model to caveolae formation.

Membrane curvature induces cardiolipin sorting [PDF]
, 2019 International audienceCardiolipin is a cone-shaped lipid predominantly localized in curved membrane sites of bacteria and in the mitochondrial cristae. This specific localization has been argued to be geometry-driven, since the CL's conical shape relaxes

Structural Modifications Controlling Membrane Raft Partitioning and Curvature in Human and Viral Proteins [PDF]
, 2020 Membrane proteins and lipids have the capacity to associate into lateral domains in cell membranes through mutual or collective interactions. Lipid rafts are functional lateral domains that are formed through collective interactions of certain lipids and

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2018 Membrane curvature is a property of biological membranes essential for organelle morphology and the formation of tubulovesicular carriers. Curvature generation is influenced by the lipid composition of the membrane and protein-mediated processes.

Membrane curvature induced by proximity of anionic phospholipids can initiate endocytosis
Nature Communications, 2017 The plasma membrane is enriched in phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) mostly localized at the inner leaflet, which is predicted to induce membrane curvature.

Transmembrane domain length is responsible for the ability of a plant reticulon to shape endoplasmic reticulum tubules in vivo [PDF]
, 2010 Reticulons are integral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane proteins that have the ability to shape the ER into tubules. It has been hypothesized that their unusually long conserved hydrophobic regions cause reticulons to assume a wedge-like topology ...

Curvature-Driven Migration of Colloids on Tense Lipid Bilayers
, 2016 Inspired by proteins that generate membrane curvature, sense the underlying membrane geometry, and migrate driven by curvature gradients, we explore the question: Can colloids, adhered to lipid bilayers, also sense and respond to membrane geometry?
