Lipid Peroxidation and Membrane Aging
This critique points out that a number of possible alterations in cell metabolism could lead to changes in membrane structure and that the observed effects might not necessarily play a primary role in the physiology of aging. Experimental approaches, while not simple, should distinguish causes of altered membrane asymmetry from its consequences. THE idea that cross-linking agents might play a r...
متن کاملLipid Polymorphism and Membrane Function
One of the fundamental problems in membrane biology is that of lipid diversity. The number of chemically different membrane lipids is much larger than other key biological building blocks such as nucleotides, amino acids, and carbohydrates. For instance, a relatively simple biomembrane such as that of the red blood cell contains well over a hundred different lipid species. Except for some metab...
متن کاملLipid rafts and membrane dynamics.
Cell membranes contain a variety of lipid species that differ in their physico-chemical properties. Lipid-lipid immiscibility gives rise to lateral heterogeneities in the membrane plane, a subset of which are termed lipid rafts (Simons and Vaz, 2004). Originally defined biochemically as detergentresistant membrane (DRM) fractions, lipid rafts are proposed to be highly dynamic, submicroscopic as...
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 کاملLipid polymorphisms and membrane shape.
Morphological plasticity of biological membrane is critical for cellular life, as cells need to quickly rearrange their membranes. Yet, these rearrangements are constrained in two ways. First, membrane transformations may not lead to undesirable mixing of, or leakage from, the participating cellular compartments. Second, membrane systems should be metastable at large length scales, ensuring the...
