Distribution of cortical endoplasmic reticulum determines positioning of endocytic events in yeast plasma membrane. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
In many eukaryotes, a significant part of the plasma membrane is closely associated with the dynamic meshwork of cortical endoplasmic reticulum (cortical ER).

Plasma Membrane Phosphatidylinositol-4-Phosphate Is Not Necessary for Candida albicans Viability yet Is Key for Cell Wall Integrity and Systemic Infection

mBio, 2022
Phosphatidylinositol phosphates are key phospholipids with a range of regulatory roles, including membrane trafficking and cell polarity. Phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate [PI(4)P] at the Golgi apparatus is required for the budding-to-filamentous-growth ...

Barley plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIP aquaporins) as water and CO2 transporters [PDF]

, 2008
We identified barley aquaporins and demonstrated that one, HvPIP2;1, transports water and CO2. Regarding water homeostasis in plants, regulations of aquaporin expression were observed in many plants under several environmental stresses. Under salt stress,

An efficient method for introducing defined lipids into the plasma membrane of mammalian cells [PDF]

, 1983
An efficient method has been devised to introduce lipid molecules into the plasma membrane of mammalian cells. This method has been applied to fuse lipid vesicles with the apical plasma membrane of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. The cells were infected

Lectin-based food poisoning: a new mechanism of protein toxicity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
BACKGROUND: Ingestion of the lectins present in certain improperly cooked vegetables can result in acute GI tract distress, but the mechanism of toxicity is unknown.

Root phloem-specific expression of the plasma membrane amino acid proton co-transporter AAP3 [PDF]

, 2004
Amino acids are regarded as the nitrogen ‘currency’ of plants. Amino acids can be taken up from the soil directly or synthesized from inorganic nitrogen, and then circulated in the plant via phloem and xylem.

Flow arrest in the plasma membrane [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2019
Abstract The arrangement of receptors in the plasma membrane strongly affects the ability of a cell to sense its environment both in terms of sensitivity and in terms of spatial resolution. The spatial and temporal arrangement of the receptors is affected in turn by the mechanical properties and the structure of the cell membrane.

Estimating the sensitivity of mechanosensitive ion channels to membrane strain and tension [PDF]

, 2004
Bone adapts to its environment by a process in which osteoblasts and osteocytes sense applied mechanical strain. One possible pathway for the detection of strain involves mechanosensitive channels and we sought to determine their sensitivity to membrane ...

Maintenance of mesophyll potassium and regulation of plasma membrane H+-ATPase are associated with physiological responses of tea plants to drought and subsequent rehydration

Crop Journal, 2018
Drought stress is one of the main factors limiting yield in tea plants. The plant cell's ability to preserve K+ homeostasis is an important strategy for coping with drought stress.

Plasma membrane—endoplasmic reticulum contact sites regulate phosphatidylcholine synthesis [PDF]

, 2013
Synthesis of phospholipids, sterols and sphingolipids is thought to occur at contact sites between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and other organelles because many lipid-synthesizing enzymes are enriched in these contacts.
