Membrane microdomains in regulation of lipid metabolism

, 2023
The fluid mosaic model described by Singer and Nicolson in 1972 was timeless and remains relevant to understanding the structure, function and dynamics of biological membranes more than fifty years later.

HMGCR‐Driven Cholesterol Metabolism Promotes Osteoarthritis Progression by Accelerating Synovial Fibroblast Senescence

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the pathological context of osteoarthritis (OA), the phosphorylation of AKT1 at Ser473 enhances its binding to Lys140 of Insig1, which facilitates the formation of AKT1–Insig1 complex. Subsequently, the activation of AKT1 promotes the phosphorylation of Insig1 at Ser189, potentially enhancing the dissociation of Insig1 from sterol regulatory element‑

Cholesterol-Dependent γ-Secretase Activity in Buoyant Cholesterol-Rich Membrane Microdomains

Neurobiology of Disease, 2002
Buoyant membrane fractions containing presenilin 1 (PS1), an essential component of the γ-secretase complex, and APP CTFβ, a γ-secretase substrate, can be isolated from cultured cells and brain by several different fractionation procedures that are ...

Blood Cell‐Camouflaged Liquid Metal Nanoconjugates Orchestrate Treg Depletion and STING‐Amplified Photothermal Immunity for Metastatic Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Whole‐blood biomimetic engineering transforms liquid metal nanoparticles into a tripartite immunotherapeutic platform that orchestrates regulatory T‐cell depletion, photothermal‐induced immunogenic cell death, and activation of the stimulator of interferon genes pathway.

Polyproline: A Synthetic Polypeptide With Unique Properties

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Poly‐L‐proline is a unique polypeptide distinguished by its well‐defined secondary structures and unusual thermal behavior. This mini review highlights recent advances in the synthesis of poly‐L‐proline by N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) polymerization, the formation of structurally defined architectures and nanostructures, and emerging strategies that ...

Assessing Membrane Fluidity and Visualizing Fluid Membrane Domains in Bacteria Using Fluorescent Membrane Dyes

Bio-Protocol, 2018
Membrane fluidity is a key parameter of bacterial membranes that undergoes quick adaptation in response to environmental challenges and has recently emerged as an important factor in the antibacterial mechanism of membrane-targeting antibiotics.

Theoretical model for the formation of caveolae and similar membrane invaginations [PDF]

, 2004
We study a physical model for the formation of bud-like invaginations on fluid lipid membranes under tension, and apply this model to caveolae formation.

RNA Promotes Synapsin Condensates That Organize Synaptic Vesicles in Live Neurons and Enable Localized Translation in Reconstituted System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Condensates at synapses organize synaptic vesicles (SVs) and are crucial for efficient neurotransmitter release, yet how RNA contributes to this mesoscale architecture remains poorly understood. Here we uncover that RNA modulates synapsin–driven condensates.

Broad‐Spectrum, Cell Envelope‐Active Marinocyclin Antibiotics From a Coral‐Derived Bacterium Are Effective Against Colistin‐Resistant Bacteria

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Marinocyclins, polycationic macrocyclic depsipeptides, were discovered by genome mining from the marine coral‐derived bacterium Aquimarina megaterium. The compounds have broad‐spectrum activity against gram‐positive and gram‐negative ESKAPE bacteria.
