Membrane fluidity of Escherichia coli during heat-shock.
The excimer-forming fluorophore dipyrenylpropane has been used to measure the relative fluidity of total membranes isolated from Escherichia coli grown at 30 or 45 degrees C, or exposed to a heat-shock from 30 to 45 degrees C for various periods of time. Parallel experiments were performed using [35S]methionine pulse-labeling of cells, to study the induction of heat-shock proteins (HSPs) at dif...
متن کاملTurning Up the Heat on Membrane Fluidity
How do cells maintain the fluidity of cellular membrane in response to temperature fluctuation? In this issue of Cell, Ma et al. identify a regulatory circuit involving a heat-induced acyl-CoA dehydrogenase that controls the lipid saturation level and the fluidity of cellular membranes by transcriptionally regulating a lipid desaturase.
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...

his study was conducted to investigate the values of the order parameter (S) and correlation time (τc) in electron spin resonance spectra for 5-DS(doxylstearic acid) and 16-DS (doxyl-stearic acid) in old normal controls and in patients with type 2 diabetes and stroke in order to assess any association between age-related disorders and membrane fluidity. Materials and Methods: We measured the me...
