Use of dansyl-cholestanol as a probe of cholesterol behavior in membranes of living cells[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2010
While plasma membrane cholesterol-rich microdomains play a role in cholesterol trafficking, little is known about the appearance and dynamics of cholesterol through these domains in living cells.

Glycosphingolipid GM3 is localized in both exoplasmic and cytoplasmic leaflets of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasite plasma membrane

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Lipid rafts, sterol-rich and sphingolipid-rich microdomains on the plasma membrane are important in processes like cell signaling, adhesion, and protein and lipid transport.

Influenza virus morphogenesis and budding. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Influenza viruses are enveloped, negative stranded, segmented RNA viruses belonging to Orthomyxoviridae family. Each virion consists of three major sub-viral components, namely (i) a viral envelope decorated with three transmembrane proteins ...

Caveolin is present in intestinal cells: role in cholesterol trafficking?

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1998
It was postulated that specialized microdomains of the plasma membrane, consistent with caveolae, might play a role in cholesterol trafficking in intestinal cells.

Role of mitochondrial raft-like microdomains in the regulation of cell apoptosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Lipid rafts are envisaged as lateral assemblies of specific lipids and proteins that dissociate and associate rapidly and form functional clusters in cell membranes.

Alterations of membrane curvature during influenza virus budding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Influenza A virus belongs to the Orthomyxoviridae family. It is an enveloped virus that contains a segmented and negative-sense RNA genome. Influenza A viruses cause annual epidemics and occasional major pandemics, are a major cause of morbidity and ...

Membrane microdomains and insulin resistance [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2009
A new concept, that “metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes, are membrane microdomain disorders caused by aberrant expression of gangliosides”, has arisen. By examining this working hypothesis, we demonstrate the molecular pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance focusing on the interaction between insulin receptor and gangliosides ...

Membrane Microdomain Disassembly Inhibits MRSA Antibiotic Resistance [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2017
A number of bacterial cell processes are confined functional membrane microdomains (FMMs), structurally and functionally similar to lipid rafts of eukaryotic cells. How bacteria organize these intricate platforms and what their biological significance is remain important questions.

Tracking microdomain dynamics in cell membranes

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2009
Studies of the diffusion of proteins and lipids in the plasma membrane of cells have long pointed to the presence of membrane domains. A major challenge in the field of membrane biology has been to characterize the various cellular structures and mechanisms that impede free diffusion in cell membranes and determine the consequences that membrane ...

Multiple Kv1.5 targeting to membrane surface microdomains [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cellular Physiology, 2008
AbstractSurface expression of voltage‐dependent K+ channels (Kv) has a pivotal role in leukocyte physiology. Although little is known about the physiological role of lipid rafts, these microdomains concentrate signaling molecules and their ion channel substrates. Kv1.3 associates with Kv1.5 to form functional channels in macrophages.
