The 'double lives' of membrane lipids [PDF]

, 2001
The year 2000 marks the 75th anniversary of the existence of the bilayer model of biological membranes as originally proposed by Gorter and Grendel (1925). It also marks a period of excitement in understanding membrane lipids.

Heat Stress Dictates Microbial Lipid Composition along a Thermal Gradient in Marine Sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Temperature exerts a first-order control on microbial populations, which constantly adjust the fluidity and permeability of their cell membrane lipids to minimize loss of energy by ion diffusion across the membrane.

Spiroplasma membrane lipids [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1985
Membranes of six spiroplasma strains belonging to different Spiroplasma species and subgroups were isolated by a combination of osmotic lysis and sonication in the presence of EDTA to block endogenous phospholipase activity. Analysis of membrane lipids showed that in addition to free and esterified cholesterol the spiroplasmas incorporated exogenous ...

Plasma membrane compartmentation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]

, 2009
In the plasma membrane of cells the complex variety of components is sorted into subcompartments, microdomains and nanoclusters. We only begin to understand the principles of this higher order.

Lipid bilayer composition influences small multidrug transporters [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Membrane proteins are influenced by their surrounding lipids. We investigate the effect of bilayer composition on the membrane transport activity of two members of the small multidrug resistance family; the Escherichia coli transporter, EmrE

Protein-induced modulation of chloroplast membrane morphology [PDF]

, 2012
Organelles are surrounded by membranes with a distinct lipid and protein composition. While it is well established that lipids affect protein functioning and vice versa, it has been only recently suggested that elevated membrane protein concentrations ...

Lipids of Paramecium

Journal of Lipid Research, 1987
This review is the first on the composition and metabolism of Paramecium lipids. This ciliated protozoa is a useful system for studying the structure and function of biomembranes since it can be grown under chemically defined culture conditions in large ...

Heavy Atom Detergent/Lipid Combined X-ray Crystallography for Elucidating the Structure-Function Relationships of Membrane Proteins

Membranes, 2021
Membrane proteins reside in the lipid bilayer of biomembranes and the structure and function of these proteins are closely related to their interactions with lipid molecules.

Transport and sorting of membrane lipids [PDF]

, 1993
The lipid composition of cellular membranes may seem unnecessarily complex. However, the lipid composition of each membrane is carefully regulated by local metabolism and specificity in transport, marking the functional significance for the cell.

Head-Group Acylation of Chloroplast Membrane Lipids

Molecules, 2021
Head group-acylated chloroplast lipids were discovered in the 1960s, but interest was renewed about 15 years ago with the discovery of Arabidopsides E and G, acylated monogalactosyldiacylglycerols with oxidized fatty acyl chains originally identified in ...
