The Role of Osmolytes and Membrane Lipids in the Adaptation of Acidophilic Fungi [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 Acidophiles maintain near-neutral intracellular pH using proton pumps. We have suggested the protective role of osmolytes and membrane lipids in the adaptation to an acidic environment.

Lipids and membrane lateral organization [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2010 Shortly after the elucidation of the very basic structure and properties of cellular membranes, it became evident that cellular membranes are highly organized structures with multiple and multi-dimensional levels of order.

Modulation of a rapid neurotransmitter receptor-ion channel by membrane lipids [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Membrane lipids modulate the proteins embedded in the bilayer matrix by two non-exclusive mechanisms: direct or indirect. The latter comprise those effects mediated by the physicochemical state of the membrane bilayer, whereas direct modulation entails ...

Impaired membrane lipids in ischemic stroke: a key player in inflammation and thrombosis [PDF]
Journal of NeuroinflammationBackground Membrane lipids play a crucial role in brain function and cell signalling, and they serve as key biological substrates in inflammatory responses, thrombosis, and energy metabolism.

Cryo-EM structures of a protein pore reveal a cluster of cholesterol molecules and diverse roles of membrane lipids [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe structure and function of membrane proteins depend on their interactions with lipids that constitute membranes. Actinoporins are α-pore-forming proteins that bind preferentially to sphingomyelin-containing membranes, where they oligomerize and form ...

Lipid and Lipidation in Membrane Fusion
The Journal of Membrane Biology, 2022 Membrane fusion plays a lead role in the transport of vesicles, neurotransmission, mitochondrial dynamics, and viral infection. There are fusion proteins that catalyze and regulate the fusion. Interestingly, various types of fusion proteins are present in nature and they possess diverse mechanisms of action.

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.

The Effects of Regulatory Lipids on Intracellular Membrane Fusion Mediated by Dynamin-Like GTPases
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Membrane fusion mediates a number of fundamental biological processes such as intracellular membrane trafficking, fertilization, and viral infection. Biological membranes are composed of lipids and proteins; while lipids generally play a structural role,
