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]
Front Cell Dev Biol, 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 ...

Cryo-EM structures of a protein pore reveal a cluster of cholesterol molecules and diverse roles of membrane lipids. [PDF]
Nat CommunThe 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 ...

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,

Lipid modulation contributes to heat stress adaptation in peanut
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 At the cellular level, membrane damage is a fundamental cause of yield loss at high temperatures (HT). We report our investigations on a subset of a peanut (Arachis hypogaea) recombinant inbred line population, demonstrating that the membrane lipid ...
