Membrane Heterogeneity Beyond the Plasma Membrane [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
The structure and organization of cellular membranes have received intense interest, particularly in investigations of the raft hypothesis. The vast majority of these investigations have focused on the plasma membrane of mammalian cells, yielding ...

Find_plasma_membrane and measure_plasma_membrane: ImageJ macros for efficient identification of and measurements at and around the plasma membrane

open access: yesSoftwareX, 2023
The plasma membrane that encloses cells is difficult to precisely delineate but this is often required for quantitation of fluorescence images. We have created an ImageJ macro that efficiently maps the plasma membrane based on a few imprecisely marked ...

MACROPHAGE PLASMA MEMBRANE [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1971
Rabbit alveolar macrophages were incubated in vitro with radioactive protein precursors. Plasma membranes were isolated from these cells, dissolved in phenol-urea-acetic acid, and separated by acrylamide gel electrophoresis. 3H-leucine was rapidly incorporated into membrane protein.

A TRiP to the plasma membrane [PDF]

open access: yesTemperature, 2015
TRP ion channels are ubiquitously present in the mammalian body and take part in numerous key physiological functions, including temperature sensing, taste perception, osmo-regulation, cardiac function, renal function, development, and glucose homeostasis.

Yeast Ist2 recruits the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane and creates a ribosome-free membrane microcompartment. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms contacts with the plasma membrane. These contacts are known to function in non-vesicular lipid transport and signaling.

Plasma membrane repair [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2018
Tissue wound repair has been studied extensively. It involves the coordinated activation of several intracellular and intercellular pathways, as well as remodeling from the sequential recruitment of different cell types to the wound site. There is, however, an equally important process that happens at the single cell level, when the integrity of the ...

Annexin A2 Mediates Dysferlin Accumulation and Muscle Cell Membrane Repair

open access: yesCells, 2020
Muscle cell plasma membrane is frequently damaged by mechanical activity, and its repair requires the membrane protein dysferlin. We previously identified that, similar to dysferlin deficit, lack of annexin A2 (AnxA2) also impairs repair of skeletal ...

Therapeutic Nanobodies Targeting Cell Plasma Membrane Transport Proteins: A High-Risk/High-Gain Endeavor

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Cell plasma membrane proteins are considered as gatekeepers of the cell and play a major role in regulating various processes. Transport proteins constitute a subclass of cell plasma membrane proteins enabling the exchange of molecules and ions between ...

Critical Role of Lipid Scramblase TMEM16F in Phosphatidylserine Exposure and Repair of Plasma Membrane after Pore Formation

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Plasma membrane damage and cell death during processes such as necroptosis and apoptosis result from cues originating intracellularly. However, death caused by pore-forming agents, like bacterial toxins or complement, is due to direct external ...

Transport of cholesterol from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane is constitutive in CaCo-2 cells and differs from the transport of plasma membrane cholesterol to the endoplasmic reticulum

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1998
The transport of newly synthesized cholesterol from its site of synthesis, the endoplasmic reticulum, to the plasma membrane was studied in CaCo-2 cells. The appearance of newly synthesized cholesterol on the cell surface was rapid. By 30 min, 50% of the
