Sterol transporters at membrane contact sites regulate TORC1 and TORC2 signaling. [PDF]

, 2017
Membrane contact sites (MCSs) function to facilitate the formation of membrane domains composed of specialized lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. In cells, membrane domains regulate membrane dynamics and biochemical and signaling pathways.

Impact of Interfacial Viscosity on the Robustness of Phospholipid‐Decorated Fluid Cell Scaffolds

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Viscosity‐tunable fluid scaffolds are developed by decorating a perfluorocarbon interface with phospholipid membranes (IPLMs) of varying unsaturated lipid contents. A solid‐like IPLM is cell‐adhesive but brittle, whereas the least viscous IPLM does not allow cell adhesion. Moderately viscous IPLMs serve as highly adaptive cellular scaffolds.

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.

The Inner Nuclear Membrane Has a Unique Lipid Signature

BioEssays, EarlyView.
The inner nuclear membrane (INM) has a distinct lipid profile, most notably characterized by high enrichment of phosphatidylserine (PS). In this review, Yang Niu and Tamas Balla summarize recent advances in elucidating the INM's lipid composition and related metabolic pathways, while elaborating further on their potential functional roles.

The macroscopic effects of microscopic heterogeneity

, 2012
Over the past decade, advances in super-resolution microscopy and particle-based modeling have driven an intense interest in investigating spatial heterogeneity at the level of single molecules in cells.

Lipid microdomains in cell surface membranes

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1997
Lipid microdomains within cell membranes are detected by a variety of experimental techniques, each of which characterizes microdomains on a different time and spatial scale. The sum of the data on lipid microdomains has yet to be integrated into a single model of cell membrane structure.

A novel transgenic reporter of extracellular acidification in zebrafish elucidates skeletal muscle T‐tubule pH regulation

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Disruption of extracellular pH and proton‐sensing can profoundly impact cellular and protein functions, leading to developmental defects. To visualize changes in extracellular pH in the developing embryo, we generated a zebrafish transgenic line that ubiquitously expresses the ratiometric pH‐sensitive fluorescent protein pHluorin2, tethered to

Plant Hormones Differentially Control the Sub-Cellular Localization of Plasma Membrane Microdomains during the Early Stage of Soybean Nodulation [PDF]

, 2019
Phytohormones regulate the mutualistic symbiotic interaction between legumes and rhizobia, nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria, notably by controlling the formation of the infection thread in the root hair (RH).

Syntaxin 16 and syntaxin 5 are required for efficient retrograde transport of several exogenous and endogenous cargo proteins [PDF]

, 2007
Retrograde transport allows proteins and lipids to leave the endocytic pathway to reach other intracellular compartments, such as trans-Golgi network (TGN)/Golgi membranes, the endoplasmic reticulum and, in some instances, the cytosol. Here, we have used
