Characterization of the functions and proteomes associated with membrane rafts in chicken sperm
Cellular membranes are heterogeneous, and this has a great impact on cellular function. Despite the central role of membrane functions in multiple cellular processes in sperm, their molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Membrane rafts are specific membrane domains enriched in cholesterol, ganglioside GM1, and functional proteins, and they are involved in the regulation of a variety of cel...
متن کاملMembrane organization and lipid rafts.
Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer, containing proteins that span the bilayer and/or interact with the lipids on either side of the two leaflets. Although recent advances in lipid analytics show that membranes in eukaryotic cells contain hundreds of different lipid species, the function of this lipid diversity remains enigmatic. The basic structure of cell membranes is the lipid bil...
متن کاملMembrane rafts regulate phospholipase B activation in murine sperm
It is intuitive that fertilization-the start of life-involves communication between a sperm cell and an egg. It has been known that to become able to fertilize an egg, a sperm must first communicate with stimuli in the female tract. For example, sterol removal from the plasma membrane is required for sperm to undergo membrane fusion during acrosome exocytosis (AE). However, how membrane lipid c...
متن کاملO-6: Progesterone-Induced Reorganization of NOX-2 Components in Membrane Rafts is Criticafor Sperm Functioning in Capra Hircus
Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is generated by spermatozoa from human (Aitken and Clarkson, 1987; Alvarez et al., 1987), rat (Vernet et al., 2001), mouse (Fisher and Aitken, 1997), rabbit (Holland et al., 1982) and buffalo (Roy and Atreja, 2008). ROS initiates signaling pathways regulating key processes including capacitation (Aitken et al., 1998;Aitken et al., 1996;deLamirande et al...
متن کاملPlasma membrane organization and function: moving past lipid rafts
"Lipid raft" is the name given to the tiny, dynamic, and ordered domains of cholesterol and sphingolipids that are hypothesized to exist in the plasma membranes of eukaryotic cells. According to the lipid raft hypothesis, these cholesterol- and sphingolipid-enriched domains modulate the protein-protein interactions that are essential for cellular function. Indeed, many studies have shown that c...
