Plasma membrane changes during programmed cell deaths

open access: yesCell Research, 2017
Ruptured and intact plasma membranes are classically considered as hallmarks of necrotic and apoptotic cell death, respectively. As such, apoptosis is usually considered a non-inflammatory process while necrosis triggers inflammation.

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

open access: yesCrop 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.

Congestive heart failure in rats is associated with increased expression and targeting of aquaporin-2 water channel in collecting duct [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
We tested whether severe congestive heart failure (CHF), a condition associated with excess free-water retention, is accompanied by altered regulation of the vasopressin-regulated water channel, aquaporin-2 (AQP2), in the renal collecting duct.

Mechanical properties of plasma membrane vesicles correlate with lipid order, viscosity and cell density

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2019
Regulation of plasma membrane curvature and composition governs essential cellular processes. The material property of bending rigidity describes the energetic cost of membrane deformations and depends on the plasma membrane molecular composition ...

Lipid composition of lens plasma membrane fractions enriched in fiber junctions.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1991
Little is known about the lipid environment of lens fiber junctions, the plasma membrane structure proposed to be responsible for passage of low molecular weight metabolites between adjacent lens fiber cells.

The plasma membrane as a mechanochemical transducer

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2019
Cells are constantly submitted to external mechanical stresses, which they must withstand and respond to. By forming a physical boundary between cells and their environment that is also a biochemical platform, the plasma membrane (PM) is a key interface ...

High-Throughput Microplate-Based Assay to Monitor Plasma Membrane Wounding and Repair

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
The plasma membrane of mammalian cells is susceptible to disruption by mechanical and biochemical damages that frequently occur within tissues. Therefore, efficient and rapid repair of the plasma membrane is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis

Early redistribution of plasma membrane phosphatidylserine is a general feature of apoptosis regardless of the initiating stimulus: inhibition by overexpression of Bcl-2 and Abl

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Medicine, 1995
A critical event during programmed cell death (PCD) appears to be the acquisition of plasma membrane (PM) changes that allows phagocytes to recognize and engulf these cells before they rupture.

Lipid-mediated activation of plasma membrane-localized deubiquitylating enzymes modulate endosomal trafficking

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
The endocytic degradation of plasma membrane proteins can be modulated by deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs). Here, the authors describe two plasma membrane localized Arabidopsis DUBs that can be activated by binding to anionic lipids and influence the ...

Cortisol Rapidly Facilitates Glucocorticoid Receptor Translocation to the Plasma Membrane in Primary Trout Hepatocytes

open access: yesBiology, 2023
Glucocorticoids (GCs) stimulate rapid cell signalling by activating the membrane-anchored intracellular glucocorticoid receptor (GR). However, the recruitment of the GR to the plasma membrane to facilitate nongenomic signalling is far from clear.
