Golgi Membrane Dynamics and Lipid Metabolism
The striking morphology of the Golgi complex has fascinated cell biologists since its discovery over 100 years ago. Yet, despite intense efforts to understand how membrane flow relates to Golgi form and function, this organelle continues to baffle cell biologists and biochemists alike. Fundamental questions regarding Golgi function, while hotly debated, remain unresolved. Historically, Golgi fu...
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 کاملLipid fluidity and membrane protein dynamics.
Membrane fluidity plays an important role in cellular functions. Membrane proteins are mobile in the lipid fluid environment; lateral diffusion of membrane proteins is slower than expected by theory, due to both the effect of protein crowding in the membrane and to constraints from the aqueous matrix. A major aspect of diffusion is in macromolecular associations: reduction of dimensionality for...
متن کاملMembrane lipid dynamics during human sperm capacitation.
Sperm membranes have an unusual lipidic composition which is distinct from those of mammalian somatic cells. They have high levels of plasmalogens, a kind of ether-linked lipids, and a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acyl groups. Plasmalogens may form non-diffusible membrane regions or domains, whereas polyunsaturated ethanolamine plasmalogens are known to destabilize the lipidic bilayer....
متن کاملBudding dynamics of the lipid membrane.
Liposomes are widely used in industrial engineering systems including cosmetics and pharmaceutical and biotechnological applications. A fundamental understanding of the dynamics of lipid bud formation is required to efficiently produce various high-technological liposomes with well-controlled sizes and shapes. In this study, a novel patterning method of controlling the uniformity of the sizes a...
