Roles of the TRAPP-II Complex and the Exocyst in Membrane Deposition during Fission Yeast Cytokinesis. [PDF]
The cleavage-furrow tip adjacent to the actomyosin contractile ring is believed to be the predominant site for plasma-membrane insertion through exocyst-tethered vesicles during cytokinesis.

Energetics and Mechanism of Drug Transport Mediated by the Lactococcal Multidrug Transporter LmrP [PDF]
The gene encoding the secondary multidrug transporter LmrP of Lactococcus lactis was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The energetics and mechanism of drug extrusion mediated by LmrP were studied in membrane vesicles of E. coli. LmrP-mediated

Fluid Vesicles with Viscous Membranes in Shear Flow [PDF]
The effect of membrane viscosity on the dynamics of vesicles in shear flow is studied. We present a new simulation technique, which combines three-dimensional multi-particle collision dynamics for the solvent with a dynamically-triangulated membrane ...

Bacterial membrane vesicles are proteoliposomal nanoparticles produced by both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. As they originate from the outer surface of the bacteria, their composition and content is generally similar to the parent bacterium ...

Coupling between pore formation and phase separation in charged lipid membranes [PDF]
We investigated the effect of charge on the membrane morphology of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) composed of various mixtures containing charged lipids.

Fusion of secretory vesicles isolated from rat liver [PDF]
Secretory vesicles isolated from rat liver were found to fuse after exposure to Ca2+. Vescle fusion is characterized by the occurrence of twinned vesicles with a continuous cleavage plane between two vesicles in freeze-fracture electron microscopy.

Membrane vesicle-mediated bacterial communication [PDF]
Abstract The classical quorum-sensing (QS) model is based on the assumption that diffusible signaling molecules accumulate in the culture medium until they reach a critical concentration upon which expression of target genes is triggered.

A role for the membrane in regulating Chlamydomonas flagellar length. [PDF]
Flagellar assembly requires coordination between the assembly of axonemal proteins and the assembly of the flagellar membrane and membrane proteins. Fully grown steady-state Chlamydomonas flagella release flagellar vesicles from their tips and failure to

Biogenesis of bacterial membrane vesicles [PDF]
SummaryMembrane vesicle (MV) release remains undefined, despite its conservation among replicating Gram‐negative bacteria both in vitro and in vivo. Proteins identified in Salmonella MVs, derived from the envelope, control MV production via specific defined domains that promote outer membrane protein–peptidoglycan (OM–PG) and OM protein–inner membrane ...
