Contributions of quantitative proteomics to understanding membrane microdomains [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2009 Membrane microdomains, e.g., lipid rafts and caveolae, are crucial cell surface organelles responsible for many cellular signaling and communication events, which makes the characterization of their proteomes both interesting and valuable. They are large

Membrane microdomains: from seeing to understanding [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 The plasma membrane is a composite material, which forms a semi-permeable barrier and an interface for communication between the intracellular and extracellular environments.

Membrane microdomains in immunoreceptor signaling [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2014 Membrane microdomains denoted commonly as lipid rafts (or membrane rafts) have been implicated in T‐cell receptor (TCR), and more generally immunoreceptor, signaling for over 25 years. However, this area of research has been complicated by doubts about the real nature (and even existence) of these membrane entities, especially because of methodological

Tight junctions are membrane microdomains [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2000 ABSTRACT Tight junctions (TJ) of polarized epithelial cells regulate barrier function at mucosal surfaces. Structural proteins of TJs include hyperphosphorylated occludin (HO) and the peripheral membrane protein, ZO-1. Since TJs are dynamically regulated, and lipid-modified signal transduction proteins localize to TJs, we considered the ...

Functional microdomains in bacterial membranes [PDF]
Genes & Development, 2010 The membranes of eukaryotic cells harbor microdomains known as lipid rafts that contain a variety of signaling and transport proteins. Here we show that bacterial membranes contain microdomains functionally similar to those of eukaryotic cells. These membrane microdomains from diverse bacteria harbor homologs of Flotillin-1, a eukaryotic protein found ...

CD317/Tetherin is an organiser of membrane microdomains [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2013 The integral membrane protein tetherin has been associated with an eclectic mix of cellular processes, including restricting the release of a range of enveloped viruses from infected cells. The unusual topology of tetherin (it possesses both a conventional transmembrane domain and a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor), its localisation to membrane ...

Reversible Dissolution of Microdomains in Detergent-Resistant Membranes at Physiological Temperature. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The formation of lipid microdomains ("rafts") is presumed to play an important role in various cellular functions, but their nature remains controversial.

Evidence for the involvement of lipid rafts localized at the ER-mitochondria associated membranes in autophagosome formation [PDF]
, 2016 Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) are subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that interact with mitochondria. This membrane scrambling between ER and mitochondria appears to play a critical role in the earliest steps of autophagy.

Stepping between Membrane Microdomains [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2015 Lateral membrane microdomains are postulated to be involved in a number of important functions in mammalian cells, such as membrane trafficking, exocytosis, endocytosis, signal transduction, and protein activity (1,2). These putative cell microdomains have been the subject of extensive research using a variety of biophysical and biochemical techniques,
