Bacterial membrane lipids: diversity in structures and pathways.
For many decades, Escherichia coli was the main model organism for the study of bacterial membrane lipids. The results obtained served as a blueprint for membrane lipid biochemistry, but it is clear now that there is no such thing as a typical bacterial membrane lipid composition. Different bacterial species display different membrane compositions and even the membrane composition of cells belo...
متن کاملConformation and packing of membrane lipids: Crystal structures of lysophosphatidylcholines
H. Eibl Max-Planck-Institut ffir Biophysikalische Chemie Postfach 2841 D-37018 G6ttingen Germany Abstract The molecular conformation and packing of three lysophosphatidylcholines: 3-palmitoyl-D-glycero1phosphocholine (PPC), 3-hexadecylD-glycero1-phosphocholine (HPC) and 3-palmitoyl-DL-glycero1phospho-N,N-dimethylethanolamine (PPEM2) have been determinated by X-ray single crystal analyses. PPC c...
متن کاملDiversity, Structures, and Collagen-Degrading Mechanisms of Bacterial Collagenolytic Proteases.
Bacterial collagenolytic proteases are important because of their essential role in global collagen degradation and because of their virulence in some human bacterial infections. Bacterial collagenolytic proteases include some metalloproteases of the M9 family from Clostridium or Vibrio strains, some serine proteases distributed in the S1, S8, and S53 families, and members of the U32 family. In...

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...
Membrane lipids in invadopodia and podosomes: Key structures for cancer invasion and metastasis
Invadopodia are extracellular matrix (ECM)-degrading protrusions formed by invasive cancer cells. Podosomes are structures functionally similar to invadopodia that are found in oncogene-transformed fibroblasts and monocyte-derived cells, including macrophages and osteoclasts. These structures are thought to play important roles in the pericellular remodeling of ECM during cancer invasion and me...
