Dynamic blue light-switchable protein patterns on giant unilamellar vesicles.
The blue light-dependent interaction between the proteins iLID and Nano allows recruiting and patterning proteins on GUV membranes, which thereby capture key features of patterns observed in nature. This photoswitchable protein interaction provides non-invasive, reversible and dynamic control over protein patterns of different sizes with high specificity and spatiotemporal resolution.
متن کاملDynamic behaviour of giant unilamellar vesicles induced by the uptake of [70]fullerene.
To obtain direct evidence for the fullerene-exchange reactions from the γ-cyclodextrin cavities to the lipid membranes following the addition of a C70·γ-cyclodextrin complex, we monitored the dynamic behaviours of the giant unilamellar vesicles. A number of C70 aggregates generated in the lipid membranes moved about vigorously.
متن کاملShape and Size of Giant Unilamellar Phospholipid Vesicles Containing Cardiolipin
The effect of cardiolipin content on the shape and size of giant palmitoyloleylphosphatidylcholine/cardiolipin vesicles was studied. Unilamellar vesicles were prepared in sugar solution by the method of electroformation, from mixtures containing up to 50% weight ratio of cardiolipin. At room temperature the vesicles containing cardiolipin exhibited abrupt changes in the curvature of the vesicle...
متن کاملMaking giant unilamellar vesicles via hydration of a lipid film.
This unit describes protocols for making giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) based on rehydration of dried lipid films. These model membranes are useful for determining the impact of membrane and membrane-binding components on lipid bilayer stiffness and phase behavior. Due to their large size, they are especially amenable to studies using fluorescence and light microscopy, and may also be manipu...
متن کاملTrapping and release of giant unilamellar vesicles in microfluidic wells.
We describe the trapping and release of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) in a thin and wide microfluidic channel, as they cross indentations etched in the channel ceiling. This trapping results from the reduction of the membrane elastic energy, which is stored in the GUV as it squeezes to enter into the thin channel. We demonstrate that GUVs whose diameter is slightly larger than the channel h...
