The cytosolic N-terminus of CD317/tetherin is a membrane microdomain exclusion motif
Biology Open, 2013 Summary The integral membrane protein CD317/tetherin has been associated with a plethora of biological processes, including restriction of enveloped virus release, regulation of B cell growth, and organisation of membrane microdomains.

Steric exclusion and protein conformation determine the localization of plasma membrane transporters
Nature Communications, 2018 The yeast plasma membrane consists of membrane microdomains with distinct protein composition. Here the authors use high-resolution single molecule imaging to observe diffusion of specific transmembrane proteins in and out of these microdomains, and ...

Tetraspanin-enriched microdomains: The building blocks of migrasomes
Cell Insight, 2022 The migrasome is a newly discovered organelle of migrating cells. Migrasomes play diverse physiological roles including mitochondrial quality control, lateral transfer of material between cells, and delivery of signaling molecules to spatially defined ...

Membrane microdomains emergence through non-homogeneous diffusion [PDF]
BMC Biophysics, 2012 In the classical view, cell membrane proteins undergo isotropic random motion, that is a 2D Brownian diffusion that should result in an homogeneous distribution of concentration. It is, however, far from the reality: Membrane proteins can assemble into so-called microdomains (sometimes called lipid rafts) which also display a specific lipid composition.

Endothelial Cell Behavior Is Determined by Receptor Clustering Induced by Thrombospondin-1
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The thrombospondins (TSPs) are a family of multimeric extracellular matrix proteins that dynamically regulate cellular behavior and response to stimuli.

Plasma membrane microdomains in aging and disease [PDF]
Geriatrics & Gerontology International, 2010 The plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells participates in signal transduction and many other cellular events to maintain the physiological state of cells. In recent decades, much attention has been paid to membrane microdomains, called lipid rafts or membrane rafts, as signaling platforms in the plasma membrane.

Metabotropic Purinergic Receptors in Lipid Membrane Microdomains
Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2012 There is broad evidence that association of transmembrane receptors and signalling molecules with lipid rafts/caveolae provides an enriched environment for protein-protein interactions necessary for signal transduction, and a mechanism for the modulation of neurotransmitter and/or growth factor receptor function.

Inferring Maps of Forces Inside Cell Membrane Microdomains [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 Mapping of the forces on biomolecules in cell membranes has spurred the development of effective labels, e.g. organic fluorophores and nanoparticles, to track trajectories of single biomolecules. Standard methods use particular statistics, namely the mean square displacement, to analyze the underlying dynamics.
