Lipids and Membrane Lateral Organization
Shortly after the elucidation of the very basic structure and properties of cellular membranes, it became evident that cellular membranes are highly organized structures with multiple and multi-dimensional levels of order. Very early observations suggested that the lipid components of biological membranes might be active players in the creation of these levels of order. In the late 1980s, sever...
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...
متن کاملEnzyme function and membrane lipids.
Biomembranes are built upon a lipid bimolecular ' matrix and intrinsic membrane enzymes can penetrate partially or totally span this bilayer, e.g. the cytochrome oxidase (Frey et al., 1978). Protein-lipid interactions are therefore important for such enzymes, determining their organization and their function (Gennis & Jonas, 1977; Sandermann, 1978; Chapman et al., 1979). In recent years an incr...
متن کاملMembrane Lipids in Presynaptic Function and Disease
Lipids are the most abundant organic compounds in the brain. The brain has a unique lipidome, and changes in lipid concentration, organization, and metabolism are associated with many neuronal diseases. Here, we discuss recent advances in understanding presynaptic membrane lipid organization, centered on illustrative examples of how the lipids themselves regulate membrane trafficking and contro...
متن کاملPlasma membrane lipids in the resurrection plant Ramonda serbica following dehydration and rehydration.
Plants of Ramonda serbica were dehydrated to 3.6% relative water content (RWC) by withholding water for 3 weeks, afterwards the plants were rehydrated for 1 week to 93.8% RWC. Plasma membranes were isolated from leaves using a two-phase aqueous polymer partition system. Compared with well-hydrated (control) leaves, dehydrated leaves suffered a reduction of about 75% in their plasma membrane lip...
