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.

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 ...

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.

Membrane Lipids and the Conformations of Membrane Proteins [PDF]
Journal of General Physiology, 1969 The general relations between protein conformation and the optical activity of peptide chromophores are outlined and applied to the analysis of the optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism of the plasma membranes of human erythrocytes and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells.

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.
