Bile acids-mediated intracellular cholesterol transport promotes intestinal cholesterol absorption and NPC1L1 recycling

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) is essential for intestinal cholesterol absorption. Together with the cholesterol-rich and Flotillin-positive membrane microdomain, NPC1L1 is internalized via clathrin-mediated endocytosis and transported to endocytic ...

Plant Hormones Differentially Control the Sub-Cellular Localization of Plasma Membrane Microdomains during the Early Stage of Soybean Nodulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Phytohormones regulate the mutualistic symbiotic interaction between legumes and rhizobia, nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria, notably by controlling the formation of the infection thread in the root hair (RH).

Endogenous Ceramide 24:1 Constrains Th17‐Driven Neutrophilic Inflammation by Antagonizing EP2 Signaling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cer24:1 levels are reduced in neutrophilic asthma and inversely correlate with disease severity and airway neutrophilia. Restoring Cer24:1 suppresses pathogenic Th17 differentiation by engaging EP2 on CD4+ T cells, thereby dampening the JAK2–STAT3–RORγt axis and reducing IL‐17 production.

Involvement of lipid microdomains in human endothelial cells infected by Streptococcus agalactiae type III belonging to the hypervirulent ST-17 [PDF]

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz
BACKGROUND Streptococcus agalactiae capsular type III strains are a leading cause of invasive neonatal infections. Many pathogens have developed mechanisms to escape from host defense response using the host membrane microdomain machinery.

Glycolipids: Linchpins in the Organization and Function of Membrane Microdomains

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Membrane microdomains, also called lipid rafts, are areas on membrane enriched in glycolipids, sphingolipids, and cholesterol. Although membrane microdomains are thought to play key roles in many cellular functions, their structures, properties, and ...

Lipid droplets in stress protection: distinct mechanisms of lipid droplet microautophagy

open access: yesAutophagy Reports, 2022
Lipid droplets (LDs) are organelles that function as sites for lipid storage. LDs have also been implicated in the cellular response to proteotoxic or lipotoxic stress as sites for sequestering dysfunctional or excess proteins or lipids, and targeting ...

Analysis of single particle trajectories: when things go wrong [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
To recover the long-time behavior and the statistics of molecular trajectories from the large number (tens of thousands) of their short fragments, obtained by super-resolution methods at the single molecule level, data analysis based on a stochastic ...

Genetically Encoded Biosensors Reveal PKA Hyperphosphorylation on the Myofilaments in Rabbit Heart Failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
RATIONALE: In heart failure, myofilament proteins display abnormal phosphorylation, which contributes to contractile dysfunction. The mechanisms underlying the dysregulation of protein phosphorylation on myofilaments is not clear.

Living Hydrogels: Harnessing Microorganism–Material Synergy for Next‐Generation Therapeutics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
 . ABSTRACT Microorganism‐based therapies, particularly those utilizing probiotics, have emerged as a powerful biomedical strategy owing to their inherent living functionalities. These living systems can dynamically interact with host environments and self‐regulate their activity, offering superior adaptability, prolonged functionality, and ...

A novel soluble analog of the HIV-1 fusion cofactor, globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), eliminates the cholesterol requirement for high affinity gp120/Gb3 interaction

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2002
We have analyzed the interaction of adamantyl Gb3 (adaGb3), a semi-synthetic soluble analog of Gb3, with HIV-1 surface envelope glycoprotein gp120. In this analog, which was orginally designed to inhibit verotoxin binding to its glycolipid receptor, Gb3,
