Two states of cyclic antimicrobial peptide RTD-1 in lipid bilayers.
RTD-1 is a recently discovered cyclic peptide that, like other well-studied antimicrobial peptides, appears to bind to the lipid matrix of cell membrane in the initial stage of activity. We studied the states of RTD-1 bound to lipid bilayers by two methods: oriented circular dichroism and X-ray diffraction. RTD-1 shows two physically distinct bound states in lipid bilayers like magainins, prote...
متن کاملOne Lipid, Two Synaptic Plasticity Pathways
A new study identifies an unexpected role for lysophosphatidic acid in modulating the strength of both excitatory and inhibitory synapses in the brain, but by different mechanisms. Read the accompanying Research Article.
متن کاملtwo lipid forms to blood cells
Docosahexaenoic acid (22 : 6) decreases blood platelet function and is highly concentrated in the brain where its depletion leads to functional impairments. Because the platelets and blood brain barrier capillary endothelium cannot hydrolyze the complex lipids for fatty acid (FA) u p take, nonesterified FA (NEFA) bound to albumin are assumed to be the delivery route of FA to these cells. The su...
متن کاملDeformation of a Two-domain Lipid Bilayer due to Asymmetric Insertion of Lipid-modified Ras Peptides.
Ras proteins are attached to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane via a lipid-modified anchor. Membrane-bound Ras proteins laterally segregate into nanoscale signaling platforms called nanoclusters. It has been shown that the membrane domain preference of Ras nanoclusters varies with the nature of lipidation but their effect on the membrane has not been well understood. To investigate the e...
متن کاملNovel communication between myocyte lipid storage and fat burning unveiled.
A recent study unveils a fascinating role for an intracellular lipase in cardiac myocytes. The new results demonstrate that liberation of lipid species from myocyte neutral lipid stores results in activation of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR ) and the transcriptional coactivators, PPAR coactivator 1 (PGC-1) and , chief regulators of cardiac mitochondrial f...
