Electrostatic Interaction Between NS1 and Negatively Charged Lipids Contributes to Flavivirus Replication Organelles Formation

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Flavivirus replication occurs in membranous replication compartments, also known as replication organelles (ROs) derived from the host ER membrane. Our previous study showed that the non-structural (NS) protein 1 (NS1) is the essential factor for RO ...

An Overview of Lutein in the Lipid Membrane

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin (a steroisomer of zeaxanthin) are macular pigments. They modify the physical properties of the lipid bilayers in a manner similar to cholesterol. It is not clear if these pigments are directly present in the lipid phase of the membranes, or if they form complexes with specific membrane proteins that retain them ...

Cellular lipidomics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The cellular lipidome comprises over 1000 different lipids. Most lipids look similar having a polar head and hydrophobic tails. Still, cells recognize lipids with exquisite specificity.

Formation of raft-like assemblies within clusters of influenza hemagglutinin observed by MD simulations.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2013
The association of hemagglutinin (HA) with lipid rafts in the plasma membrane is an important feature of the assembly process of influenza virus A. Lipid rafts are thought to be small, fluctuating patches of membrane enriched in saturated phospholipids ...

The Application of Lipid Membranes in Biosensing [PDF]

open access: yesMembranes, 2018
The exploitation of lipid membranes in biosensors has provided the ability to reconstitute a considerable part of their functionality to detect trace of food toxicants and environmental pollutants. This paper reviews recent progress in biosensor technologies based on lipid membranes suitable for food quality monitoring and environmental applications ...

Membrane curvature sorts lipids [PDF]

open access: yesEMBO reports, 2005
The enrichment of sphingolipids and cholesterol in the mammalian plasma membrane, and unsaturated phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the endoplasmic reticulum, requires lipid sorting in the Golgi apparatus. Most sphingolipids are synthesized in the Golgi lumen (Holthuis & Levine, 2005).

Isolation of lipids from biological samples [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Isolation of the lipid fraction from biological samples has been a crucial part of countless studies over the last century. This considerable research interest has led to the development of a number of methods for isolating a range of molecular species ...

The 'double lives' of membrane lipids

open access: yes, 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.
