Partitioning into ER membrane microdomains impacts autophagic protein turnover during cellular aging

open access: yesScientific Reports
Eukaryotic membranes are compartmentalized into distinct micro- and nanodomains that rearrange dynamically in response to external and internal cues. This lateral heterogeneity of the lipid bilayer and associated clustering of distinct membrane proteins ...

Cholesterol Promotes Lung Adenocarcinoma Brain Metastasis by Stabilizing EGFR Protein to Drive EMT, Metabolic Reprogramming, and Premetastatic Niche Formation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cholesterol is revealed as a multitasking fuel for lung adenocarcinoma brain metastasis: it locks EGFR at the membrane to sustain AKT/NF‐κB–driven glycolysis and EMT, loosens the blood–brain barrier by promoting Claudin‐5 loss, and rewires microglia through IL‐4R lipid‐raft–JAK1/STAT6 signaling.

Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Ceramide-enriched microdomains in planar membranes

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2010
Ceramide has a large effect on the properties of biological membranes, increasing lipid order and promoting lateral phase separation, and plays an important role in cell signaling. This review provides an overview of recent studies of the effects of direct ceramide incorporation and enzymatic ceramide generation on planar supported membranes, including

Mitochondria and the Actin Cytoskeleton in Neurodegeneration

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial dysfunction and cytoskeletal disorganization are widely recognized hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Hypothesis: could the signalling function of membrane microdomains involve a localized transition of lipids from liquid to solid state?

open access: yesBMC Cell Biology, 2004
Background Over the past decade, it has become apparent that specialised membrane microdomains, commonly called rafts, where lipids like sphingolipids and cholesterol are arranged compactly in a liquid ordered phase are involved in cell signalling ...

Rational Design and Operando Characterization of Hierarchical α‐FeOOH‐FeP/Ni3S2 Catalysts for High‐Rate Alkaline Water Electrolysis

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A hierarchical FeOOH–FeP@Ni3S2 electrocatalyst is engineered on 3D Ni foam to enable efficient alkaline oxygen evolution. Operando spectroscopic techniques reveal dynamic surface reconstruction and proton‐coupled electron transfer (PCET) kinetics. The catalyst exhibits low overpotential and industrial‐level current operation, driving high‐performance ...

Detergent-resistant plasma membrane proteomes for elucidating microdomain functions in plant cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Although proteins and lipids have been assumed to be distributed homogeneously in the plasma membrane (PM), recent studies suggest that the PM is non-uniform, forming a structure that includes a number of lateral domains enriched in specific components ...
