Lipid rafts: The enigmatic membrane microdomain [PDF]
The Biochemist, 2009 In the field of membrane biology, perhaps one of the most controversial concepts in recent years has been the enigmatic membrane microdomain, the cholesterol- and glycosphingolipid-rich lipid raft.

Insulin Signaling in Microdomains of the Plasma Membrane [PDF]
Traffic, 2003 Although the effects of insulin on glucose and lipid metabolism are well documented, gaps remain in our understanding of the precise molecular mechanisms of signal transduction. Recent evidence suggests that compartmentalization of signaling molecules and metabolic enzymes may explain the unique cellular effects of the hormone.

Deciphering the Impact of RAC1‐SPTAN1 in ARPKD Cystogenesis Using Multifaceted Models
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Distal/connecting tubules expressing SLC8A1 have been suggested as a potential origin of ARPKD cysts. SPTAN1 has been identified as a key molecule in ARPKD cyst formation. Restoring SPTAN1 in PKHD1−/− organoids reduced cyst formation, normalized calcium levels, and decreased RAC1/c‐FOS expression, highlighting SPTAN1's role in ARPKD and the potential ...

EGF induces rapid reorganization of plasma membrane microdomains [PDF]
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2009 The plasma membrane of mammalian cells is composed of a great variety of different lipids which are laterally organized into lipid domains. The segregation of lipids into domains has been studied in great detail in vesicles but domain formation of lipids in the plasma membrane of live cells is still unclear.

Biolipid Film‐Fused Electrochemiluminescence for Multipurpose In Situ Bioassays
Advanced Science, EarlyView.An ECL‐emissive, membrane‐interactive scaffold was fabricated, and facilely fused with natural and non‐native phospholipids into multifactorial mimicries of cytomembranes and vesicles for in vitro representative membrane‐process probing. Such a biointerface‐based, state‐sensitive ECL paradigm not only pinpointed proximal phenomena, including channeling

Proteomic analysis of Escherichia coli detergent-resistant membranes (DRM).
PLoS ONE, 2019 Membrane microdomains or lipid rafts compartmentalize cellular processes by laterally organizing membrane components. Such sub-membrane structures were mainly described in eukaryotic cells, but, recently, also in bacteria.

Cholesterol dependence of HTLV-I infection [PDF]
, 2005 Cholesterol-rich plasma membrane microdomains are important for entry of many viruses, including retro-viruses. Depletion of cholesterol with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inhibits entry of human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) and HTLV-I envelope
