Dual-color dSTORM imaging and ThunderSTORM image reconstruction and analysis to study the spatial organization of the nuclear phosphatidylinositol phosphates [PDF]
Single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) provided an unprecedented insight into the sub-nuclear organization of proteins and nucleic acids but apart from the nuclear envelope the role of the nuclear lipids in the functional organization of the cell

Quantitative structural characterization of phosphatidylinositol phosphates from biological samples [PDF]
The aspects of cellular metabolism controlled by phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PtdInsPs) have been broadly expanded, and these phospholipids have drawn tremendous attention as pleiotropic signaling molecules.

Acutely Modifying Phosphatidylinositol Phosphates on Endolysosomes Using Chemically Inducible Dimerization Systems [PDF]
Phosphoinositides are rare membrane lipids that mediate cell signaling and membrane dynamics. PI(4)P and PI(3)P are two major phosphoinositides crucial for endolysosomal functions and dynamics, making them the lipids of interest in many studies.

EFR3A, an Intriguing Gene, and Protein with a Scaffolding Function [PDF]
The EFR3 (Eighty-Five Requiring 3) protein and its homologs are rather poorly understood eukaryotic plasma membrane peripheral proteins. They belong to the armadillo-like family of superhelical proteins.

Crystal Structure of Human Myotubularin-Related Protein 1 Provides Insight into the Structural Basis of Substrate Specificity. [PDF]
Myotubularin-related protein 1 (MTMR1) is a phosphatase that belongs to the tyrosine/dual-specificity phosphatase superfamily. MTMR1 has been shown to use phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate (PI(3)P) and/or phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PI(3,5 ...

A tale of two inositol trisphosphates. [PDF]
Between spring 1982 and autumn 1984 the physiological role of Ins(1,4,5)P3 as a calcium-mobilizing second messenger was first suggested and then experimentally established.

Lipid Polarization during Cytokinesis
The plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells is composed of a large number of lipid species that are laterally segregated into functional domains as well as asymmetrically distributed between the outer and inner leaflets.

Optimization of chromatographic buffer conditions for the simultaneous analysis of phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol phosphate species in canola. [PDF]
The phosphatidylinositols and phosphatidylinositol phosphates are a set of closely related lipids known to influence various cellular functions. Irregular distributions of these molecules have been correlated with the development and progression of ...
