Defining the Diffusion in Model Membranes Using Line Fluorescence Recovery after Photobleaching

Membranes, 2020
In this study, we explore the use of line FRAP to detect diffusion in synthetic lipid membranes. The study of the dynamics of these membrane lipids can, however, be challenging.

Export of miRNAs from activated macrophages is cooperative and HuR‐dependent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study uncovers a new mechanism for miRNA export regulation in mammalian cells, driven by the RNA‐binding protein HuR. In macrophages, HuR cooperatively binds with miRNAs to export both low‐ and high‐affinity substrates, thereby influencing macrophage activation.

Genetically controlled membrane synthesis in liposomes

Nature Communications, 2020
Controlled membrane synthesis in liposomes is a prerequisite for synthetic systems emulating the fundamental properties of living cells. Here authors present that a de novo synthesized metabolic pathway converts precursors into a variety of lipids ...

Effect of charged lipids on the ionization behavior of glutamic acid containing transmembrane helices [PDF]

, 2020
Transmembrane proteins make up critical components of living cells. Protein function can be greatly impacted by the charged state of its respective components, the side chains of amino acid residues.

PexRAP inhibits PRDM16-mediated thermogenic gene expression [PDF]

, 2017
How the nuclear receptor PPARγ regulates the development of two functionally distinct types of adipose tissue, brown and white fat, as well as the browning of white fat, remains unclear.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Protocol for building synthetic protocell membranes that sense redox using synthetic phospholipids and natural lipids

STAR Protocols
Summary: Sensing is a critical function of artificial cells; however, this is challenging to realize using bottom-up approaches. Here, we present a protocol for building protocell membranes that sense cues important for redox biochemistry and signaling ...

Membrane lipids and their degradation compounds control GM2 catabolism at intralysosomal luminal vesicles

Journal of Lipid Research, 2019
The catabolism of ganglioside GM2 is dependent on three gene products. Mutations in any of these genes result in a different type of GM2 gangliosidosis (Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease, and the B1 and AB variants of GM2 gangliosidosis), with GM2 as ...

Recombinant Incretin-Secreting Microbe Improves Metabolic Dysfunction in High-Fat Diet Fed Rodents [PDF]

, 2017
peer-reviewedThe gut hormone glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and its analogues represent a new generation of anti-diabetic drugs, which have also demonstrated propensity to modulate host lipid metabolism.
