Editorial: Antimicrobial Peptides - Interaction with Membrane Lipids and Proteins
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Membrane Physiology and Membrane Biophysics, a section of the journal Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a natural class of antibiotics that are present in all domains of life (Hancock and Chapple, 1999). AMPs are part of the innate immune system and possess not only antibacterial but also antiviral, ant...
متن کاملAccumulation of raft lipids in T-cell plasma membrane domains engaged in TCR signalling.
Activating stimuli for T lymphocytes are transmitted through plasma membrane domains that form at T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) signalling foci. Here, we determined the molecular lipid composition of immunoisolated TCR activation domains. We observed that they accumulate cholesterol, sphingomyelin and saturated phosphatidylcholine species as compared with control plasma membrane fragments. This...
متن کاملEditorial Editorial : Ephs , ephrins , and early T cell development
Introduction The development of self-tolerant, MHC-restricted T cells occurs in the thymus throughout the life of vertebrates. However, the thymus lacks precursors with self-renewal ability and is normally, continuously replenished with progenitors imported from the bone marrow [1]. The cross-talk between T cell progenitors and nonhematopoietic thymic stromal cells (thymic epithelial cells, end...
متن کاملThe functions of polarized water and membrane lipids: a rebuttal.
In 1973, experimental evidence was reported in support of the view that water polarized in multilayers rather than simple lipid is responsible for the semipermeable properties of living cell membranes. The present article presents a full rebuttal to a subsequent attack on that view.
متن کاملEditorial Vitamin D and Lipids
The interest in vitamin D has exploded during the last decade, illustrated by the number of new vitamin D–related articles registered in PubMed, which is between 50 and 100 every week. This is also reflected in the lay press, with numerous articles promoting the beneficial effects of the D-lightful sunshine hormone vitamin D. If read uncritically, vitamin D appears to be good for almost any con...
