Proteomics of plasma membrane microdomains
Expert Review of Proteomics, 2005Plasma membrane microdomains represent subcompartments of the plasma membrane characterized by a specific lipid and protein composition. The recognition of microdomains in nearly all the eukaryotic membranes has accredited them with specialized functions in health and disease.

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2002
Several lines of evidence indicate that the lipids in the plasma membrane of animal cells are inhomogeneously distributed, and that various types of specialized lipid domains play an important role in many biological processes. The characteristics of these domains, such as size, composition and dynamics, are currently under active investigation.

DETECTING MICRODOMAINS IN INTACT CELL MEMBRANES
Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, 2005▪ Abstract Current models for cellular plasma membranes focus on spatial heterogeneity and how this heterogeneity relates to cell function. In particular, putative lipid raft membrane domains have been postulated to exist based in large part on the results that a significant fraction of the membrane is detergent insoluble and that molecules ...

Lipid microdomains – plant membranes get organized
Trends in Plant Science, 2005The plant plasma membrane is now known to be a more sophisticated structure than was previously thought. Sebastien Mongrand et al. and Georg Borner et al. have isolated specific plasma membrane microdomains ('lipid rafts') that are enriched in sterols and sphingolipids.

Budded membrane microdomains as tension regulators
Physical Review E, 2006We propose a mechanism by which changes of the mechanical tension of a composite lipid membrane are buffered by the invagination of membrane domains. We show that domain invagination, driven by differences in chemical composition, is a first-order transition controlled by membrane tension.

Membrane microdomains: Structural and signaling platforms for establishing membrane polarity
Plant Physiology, 2023AbstractCell polarity results from the asymmetric distribution of cellular structures, molecules, and functions. Polarity is a fundamental cellular trait that can determine the orientation of cell division, the formation of particular cell shapes, and ultimately the development of a multicellular body.

Membrane microdomains: lessons from microscopy
Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1995Specialized regions of plasma membranes displaying lateral heterogeneity are the focus of this Symposium. Specialized membrane domains are known for certain cell types such as differentiated epithelial cells where lateral heterogeneity in lipids and proteins exists between the apical and basolateral portions of the plasma membrane.

Isolation of Plasma Membrane and Plasma Membrane Microdomains
2016The plasma membrane surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell and functions as a barrier to separate the intracellular compartment from the extracellular environment. Protein and lipid components distribute nonuniformly and the components form clusters with various functions in the plasma membrane.

Membrane raft microdomains in chemokine receptor function
Seminars in Immunology, 2001Cell chemotaxis requires the acquisition and maintenance of both spatial and functional asymmetry between initially equivalent cell parts. In leukocytes one becomes the leading edge and the other, the rear edge or uropod. The acquisition of this cell polarity is controlled by an array of chemoattractants, including those of the chemokine family.

Functional imaging of microdomains in cell membranes
European Biophysics Journal, 2008The presence of microdomains or rafts within cell membranes is a topic of intense study and debate. The role of these structures in cell physiology, however, is also not yet fully understood with many outstanding problems. This problem is partly based on the small size of raft structures that presents significant problems to their in vivo study, i.e ...
