Two temperature-dependent membrane fluidity regimes in gram-positive bacteria

mSphere
Temperature changes directly affect the mobility of molecules within a biological membrane, increasing or decreasing its fluidity. Plasma membrane fluidity is a fundamental physical property that governs bacterial cell physiology, influencing processes ...

Differential effects of lysophospholipid headgroups, acyl chain length and saturation on vacuole acidification, Ca2+ transport, membrane fluidity, and fusion [PDF]

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
SNARE-mediated membrane fusion is regulated by the lipid composition of the engaged bilayers. Lipids impact fusion through direct protein-lipid interactions or through modulating the physical properties of membranes to affect protein function ...

Plasma Membrane Fluidity: An Environment Thermal Detector in Plants

Cells, 2021
The lipid matrix in cell membranes is a dynamic, bidimensional array of amphipathic molecules exhibiting mesomorphism, which contributes to the membrane fluidity changes in response to temperature fluctuation.

Membrane fluidity homeostasis is required for tobramycin-enhanced biofilm in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen, which causes chronic infections, especially in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients where it colonizes the lungs via the build-up of biofilms.

Assessment of Membrane Fluidity Fluctuations during Cellular Development Reveals Time and Cell Type Specificity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Cell membrane is made up of a complex structure of lipids and proteins that diffuse laterally giving rise to what we call membrane fluidity. During cellular development, such as differentiation cell membranes undergo dramatic fluidity changes induced by ...

Flotillin-mediated membrane fluidity controls peptidoglycan synthesis and MreB movement

eLife, 2020
The bacterial plasma membrane is an important cellular compartment. In recent years it has become obvious that protein complexes and lipids are not uniformly distributed within membranes.

Contribution of Membrane Vesicle to Reprogramming of Bacterial Membrane Fluidity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

mSphere, 2022
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen capable of resisting environmental insults by applying various strategies, including regulating membrane fluidity and producing membrane vesicles (MVs).

Bicarbonate-Stimulated Membrane Reorganization in Stallion Spermatozoa

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Classical in vitro fertilization (IVF) is still poorly successful in horses. This lack of success is thought to be due primarily to inadequate capacitation of stallion spermatozoa under in vitro conditions.

Membrane Fluidity and Temperature Perception [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1997
Plants are incapable of escaping from a changing environment. Therefore, they have developed sophisticated mechanisms for acclimation and survival under unfavorable conditions, such as unfavorable temperatures. Low temperatures induce a number of alterations in cellular components, including the extent of fatty acid unsaturation (Cossins, 1994), the ...

Defining Lineage-Specific Membrane Fluidity Signatures that Regulate Adhesion Kinetics

Stem Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Cellular membrane fluidity is a critical modulator of cell adhesion and migration, prompting us to define the systematic landscape of lineage-specific cellular fluidity throughout differentiation.
