Relative domain folding and stability of a membrane transport protein [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
There is a limited understanding of the folding of multidomain membrane proteins. Lactose permease (LacY) of Escherichia coli is an archetypal member of the major facilitator superfamily of membrane transport proteins, which contain two domains of six ...

Role of Oxidized Lipids in Permeation of H2O2 Through a Lipid Membrane: Molecular Mechanism of an Inhibitor to Promoter Switch

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
H2O2 permeation through a cell membrane significantly affects living organisms, and permeation is controlled by the physico-chemical nature of lipids and other membrane components.

Omega-3 versus Omega-6: Are We Underestimating the Ecological Significance of Arachidonic Acid in Aquatic Systems?

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
The long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, ω-3, or n-3) and arachidonic acid (ARA, ω-6 or n-6) are known to have distinct physiological functions, yet can both support growth and reproduction of consumers, raising the ...

Lipid\'s three-dimensional molecular changes in cellular membrane and its relation with Endocytosis and Exocytosis

open access: yesمجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی گرگان, 1999
All the Lipids within the cellular membranes are existed in bilayer structure, but it has been proved that when some of these Lipids extracted from the native membrane and dispersed in water, it does exhibit non-bilayer structure, although the same ...

Lipid polarity and sorting in epithelial cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Apical and basolateral membrane domains of epithelial cell plasma membranes possess unique lipid compositions. The tight junction, the structure separating the two domains, forms a diffusion barrier for membrane components and thereby prevents ...

Coordination of bilayer properties by an inward-rectifier K+ channel is a cooperative process driven by protein-lipid interaction

open access: yesJournal of Structural Biology: X
Physical properties of biological membranes directly or indirectly govern biological processes. Yet, the interplay between membrane and integral membrane proteins is difficult to assess due to reciprocal effects between membrane proteins, individual ...

Electrodiffusion of lipids on membrane surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 2012
Lateral translocation of lipids and proteins is a universal process on membrane surfaces. Local aggregation or organization of lipids and proteins can be induced when the random lateral motion is mediated by the electrostatic interactions and membrane curvature.

The effect of modulating membrane lipid composition on the thermal sensitivity of tumour cells in culture [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
The plasma membrane, which separates intracellular contents from extra cellular milieu, consists of a lipid bilayer comprising mainly phospholipids and cholesterol together with various functional proteins, which control the interaction of the cell with ...

An efficient method for introducing defined lipids into the plasma membrane of mammalian cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
An efficient method has been devised to introduce lipid molecules into the plasma membrane of mammalian cells. This method has been applied to fuse lipid vesicles with the apical plasma membrane of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. The cells were infected

Functionalized Membrane Domains: An Ancestral Feature of Archaea?

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Bacteria and Eukarya organize their plasma membrane spatially into domains of distinct functions. Due to the uniqueness of their lipids, membrane functionalization in Archaea remains a debated area. A novel membrane ultrastructure predicts that monolayer
