Identification of a functional role for lipid asymmetry in biological membranes: Phosphatidylserine-skeletal protein interactions modulate membrane stability.
Asymmetric distribution of phospholipids is ubiquitous in the plasma membranes of many eukaryotic cells. The majority of the aminophospholipids are located in the inner leaflet whereas the cholinephospholipids are localized predominantly in the outer leaflet. Several functional roles for asymmetric phospholipid distribution in plasma membranes have been suggested. Disruption of lipid asymmetry ...
متن کاملProtection against amyloid beta-peptide (1-42)-induced loss of phospholipid asymmetry in synaptosomal membranes by tricyclodecan-9-xanthogenate (D609) and ferulic acid ethyl ester: implications for Alzheimer's disease.
Amyloid-beta (1-42) [Abeta (1-42)] deposition in the brain is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and has been shown to induce apoptosis and disrupt cellular ion homeostasis. Abeta (1-42) induces membrane lipid peroxidation, and 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) and 2-propenal (acrolein) are the two reactive products of lipid peroxidation, which structurally modify proteins by covalent interaction and ...
متن کاملThe ins and outs of phospholipid asymmetry in the plasma membrane: roles in health and disease.
A common feature of all eukaryotic membranes is the non-random distribution of different lipid species in the lipid bilayer (lipid asymmetry). Lipid asymmetry provides the two sides of the plasma membrane with different biophysical properties and influences numerous cellular functions. Alteration of lipid asymmetry plays a prominent role during cell fusion, activation of the coagulation cascade...
متن کاملOxidized phosphatidylcholines facilitate phospholipid flip-flop in liposomes.
Lipid asymmetry is a ubiquitous property of the lipid bilayers in cellular membranes and its maintenance and loss play important roles in cell physiology, such as blood coagulation and apoptosis. The resulting exposure of phosphatidylserine on the outer surface of the plasma membrane has been suggested to be caused by a specific membrane enzyme, scramblase, which catalyzes phospholipid flip-flo...
متن کاملDetection of altered membrane phospholipid asymmetry in subpopulations of human red blood cells using fluorescently labeled annexin V.
The phospholipids of the human red cell are distributed asymmetrically in the bilayer of the red cell membrane. In certain pathologic states, such as sickle cell anemia, phospholipid asymmetry is altered. Although several methods can be used to measure phospholipid organization, small organizational changes have been very difficult to assess. Moreover, these methods fail to identify subpopulati...
