Membrane Microdomains, Rafts, and Detergent-Resistant Membranes in Plants and Fungi
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2013 The existence of specialized microdomains in plasma membranes, postulated for almost 25 years, has been popularized by the concept of lipid or membrane rafts.

Microdomains of SNARE Proteins in the Plasma Membrane
2013Exocytosis is catalyzed by the engagement of SNARE proteins embedded in the plasma membrane with complementary SNAREs in the membrane of trafficking vesicles undergoing exocytosis. In most cells studied so far, SNAREs are not randomly distributed across the plasma membrane but are clustered and segregated in discrete membrane domains of defined size ...

Budded membrane microdomains as tension regulators
Physical Review E, 2006We propose a mechanism by which changes of the mechanical tension of a composite lipid membrane are buffered by the invagination of membrane domains. We show that domain invagination, driven by differences in chemical composition, is a first-order transition controlled by membrane tension.

Functional imaging of microdomains in cell membranes
European Biophysics Journal, 2008The presence of microdomains or rafts within cell membranes is a topic of intense study and debate. The role of these structures in cell physiology, however, is also not yet fully understood with many outstanding problems. This problem is partly based on the small size of raft structures that presents significant problems to their in vivo study, i.e ...

DETECTING MICRODOMAINS IN INTACT CELL MEMBRANES
Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, 2005▪ Abstract Current models for cellular plasma membranes focus on spatial heterogeneity and how this heterogeneity relates to cell function. In particular, putative lipid raft membrane domains have been postulated to exist based in large part on the results that a significant fraction of the membrane is detergent insoluble and that molecules ...

Role of the Membrane Skeleton in Creation of Microdomains
2004The membrane skeleton is a specialized part of the cytoskeleton that is in close proximity to the cell membrane with a protein composition and structure that differs from that of the bulk cytoskeleton. The membrane skeleton and various transmembrane proteins bound to it form a mosaic of compartments in the membrane that is responsible for the temporary

PROTEOMICS, 2006
AbstractBiological membranes are compartmentalized into microdomains that exhibit particular lipid and protein compositions. Membrane microdomains, such as tetraspanin‐enriched microdomains and lipid rafts, have been suggested to play a role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes.

Biochemical and proteomic approaches for the study of membrane microdomains
Journal of Proteomics, 2009Many cellular signaling and communication events take place at the plasma membrane and thus the characterization of the plasma membrane proteome has been a hot research area in the hopes of learning more about these processes. Membrane microdomains are large protein and lipid complexes found on the cell surface membrane, able to concentrate or recruit ...

Molecular principles of membrane microdomain targeting in plants
Trends in Plant Science, 2015Plasma membranes (PMs) are heterogeneous lipid bilayers comprising diverse subdomains. These sites can be labeled by various proteins in vivo and may serve as hotspots for signal transduction. They are found at apical, basal, and lateral membranes of polarized cells, at cell equatorial planes, or almost isotropically distributed throughout the PM ...
