Membrane lipid domains in the nervous system.
The structural properties of the lipids forming biological membranes determine a very high level of lateral organization within membranes. Lipid-driven membrane organization allows the segregation of membrane-associated components into membrane lipid domains, now worldwide known as lipid rafts, acting as dynamic platforms for signal transduction, protein processing and membrane turnover. Many p...

متن کاملTranscriptional regulation in bacterial membrane lipid synthesis.
This review covers the main transcriptional mechanisms that control membrane phospholipid synthesis in bacteria. The fatty acid components are the most energetically expensive modules to produce; thus, the regulation of fatty acid production is very tightly controlled to match the growth rate of cells. Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria have evolved different structural classes of regulat...
متن کاملRegulation of inositol lipid kinases by Rho and Rac.
Rho and Rac small GTPases associate with type-I phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase to regulate the production of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. This lipid appears to mediate some of the effects of Rho and Rac on the actin cytoskeleton. The genes for several type-I phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinases have been cloned recently but it is not known which one interacts with Rho...
متن کاملSTART domains in lipid/sterol transfer and signaling in plants
Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR)-related lipid transfer (START) domains were first identified in cholesterol-binding StAR orthologs from mammals. They are also found in plant proteins, where they are predicted to mediate transport and signaling of lipids. START domains in combination with the homeodomain (HD) DNA-binding motif are unique to plants. Recent genetic analysis of the HD...
