Phosphatidylethanolamine dynamics are required for osteoclast fusion [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractOsteoclasts, responsible for bone resorption, are multinucleated cells formed by cell-cell fusion of mononuclear pre-osteoclasts. Although osteoclast fusion is a pivotal step for osteoclastogenesis, little is known about the mechanism involved.

Characterization of the extracellular lipase of Bacillus subtilis and its relationship to a membrane-bound lipase found in a mutant strain [PDF]
, 1979 Bacillus subtilis CMK33 is a mutant that is more osmotically fragile than the wild type when it is converted to the protoplast form. The protoplasts of this mutant contain a membrane-bound lipase, which is not found in protoplasts of the wild type ...

Synthetic Phosphatidylethanolamines as Renin Inhibitors
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1977 SummaryAnti-renin and hypotensive effects of synthetic PEs were examined.(i) Eighteen PEs including optical isomers were newly synthesized. Arachidonic acid, linolenic acid, and stearic acid were substituted at the positions of β, γ, or both. Natural PE was extracted from porcine kidney, and the lyso form was prepared by treatment of phospholipase A ...

Preferential Membrane Remodeling on Curved Biointerfaces Induced by Conjugated Oligoelectrolyte
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This study explores how membrane shape influences the interaction of conjugated oligoelectrolytes (COEs) with lipid bilayers. Using a curved biointerface composed of nanobar arrays and supported lipid bilayers, it is revealed that COE intercalation preferentially remodels curved regions, forming distinct structures. These findings highlight the role of

Blue light regenerates functional visual pigments in mammals through a retinyl-phospholipid intermediate. [PDF]
, 2017 The light absorbing chromophore in opsin visual pigments is the protonated Schiff base of 11-cis-retinaldehyde (11cRAL). Absorption of a photon isomerizes 11cRAL to all-trans-retinaldehyde (atRAL), briefly activating the pigment before it dissociates ...
