Platelet activating factor-induced ceramide micro-domains drive endothelial NOS activation and contribute to barrier dysfunction. [PDF]
The spatial and functional relationship between platelet activating factor-receptor (PAF-R) and nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in the lateral plane of the endothelial plasma membrane is poorly characterized.

TrpML-mediated astrocyte microdomain Ca2+ transients regulate astrocyte–tracheal interactions
Astrocytes exhibit spatially-restricted near-membrane microdomain Ca2+transients in their fine processes. How these transients are generated and regulate brain function in vivo remains unclear. Here we show that Drosophila astrocytes exhibit spontaneous,

Tight junctions are membrane microdomains [PDF]
ABSTRACT Tight junctions (TJ) of polarized epithelial cells regulate barrier function at mucosal surfaces. Structural proteins of TJs include hyperphosphorylated occludin (HO) and the peripheral membrane protein, ZO-1. Since TJs are dynamically regulated, and lipid-modified signal transduction proteins localize to TJs, we considered the ...

Membrane microdomains in immunoreceptor signaling [PDF]
Membrane microdomains denoted commonly as lipid rafts (or membrane rafts) have been implicated in T‐cell receptor (TCR), and more generally immunoreceptor, signaling for over 25 years. However, this area of research has been complicated by doubts about the real nature (and even existence) of these membrane entities, especially because of methodological

Membrane microdomains: from seeing to understanding [PDF]
The plasma membrane is a composite material, which forms a semi-permeable barrier and an interface for communication between the intracellular and extracellular environments. While the existence of membrane microdomains with nanoscale organization has been proved by the application of numerous biochemical and physical methods, direct observation of ...

The formation of hepatic bile requires that water be transported across liver epithelia. Rat hepatocytes express three aquaporins (AQPs): AQP8, AQP9, and AQP0. Recognizing that cholesterol and sphingolipids are thought to promote the assembly of proteins
