Phosphoinositide Binding Domains Embracing 3-Phosphate
additional phosphoinositides were found in eukaryotic cells, PtdIns-5-P and PtdIns-3,5-P2 (Dove et al., 1997; Rameh et al., 1997; Whiteford et al., 1997). David A. Fruman, Lucia E. Rameh, and Lewis C. Cantley* Department of Cell Biology The recent identification of proteins that specifically Harvard Medical School bind to lipid products of PI3K allows us to explain the Boston, Massachusetts 021...
متن کاملCholesterol-induced fluid membrane domains: a compendium of lipid-raft ternary phase diagrams.
The biophysical underpinning of the lipid-raft concept in cellular membranes is the liquid-ordered phase that is induced by moderately high concentrations of cholesterol. Although the crucial feature is the coexistence of phase-separated fluid domains, direct evidence for this in mixtures of cholesterol with a single lipid is extremely sparse. More extensive evidence comes from ternary mixtures...
متن کاملMembrane cholesterol stabilizes the human serotonin(1A) receptor.
A number of recently solved crystal structures of G-protein coupled receptors reveal the presence of closely associated cholesterol molecules in the receptor structure. We have previously shown the requirement of membrane cholesterol in the organization, dynamics and function of the serotonin(1A) receptor, a representative G-protein coupled receptor. In this work, we explored the role of membra...
متن کاملMonolayer curvature stabilizes nanoscale raft domains in mixed lipid bilayers.
According to the lipid raft hypothesis, biological lipid membranes are laterally heterogeneous and filled with nanoscale ordered "raft" domains, which are believed to play an important role for the organization of proteins in membranes. However, the mechanisms stabilizing such small rafts are not clear, and even their existence is sometimes questioned. Here, we report the observation of raft-li...
متن کاملApolipoproteins, membrane cholesterol domains, and the regulation of cholesterol efflux.
Published data related to both cell membrane biology and apolipoprotein structure are reviewed and used to formulate a new model describing the mechanisms of cholesterol efflux from cell plasma membrane to high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. The central premise of this model is the existence of heterogenous domains of cholesterol within plasma membranes. We propose that cholesterol efflux...
