Cholesterol interactions with phospholipids in membranes.
Mammalian cell membranes are composed of a complex array of glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids that vary in head-group and acyl-chain composition. In a given cell type, membrane phospholipids may amount to more than a thousand molecular species. The complexity of phospholipid and sphingolipid structures is most likely a consequence of their diverse roles in membrane dynamics, protein regula...
متن کاملInteractions of gangliosides with phospholipids and glycosphingolipids in mixed monolayers.
1. The interactions among five different gangliosides and three chemically related glycosphingolipids and their behaviour in mixed monolayers with six different phospholipids were investigated at the air/145 mM-NaCl interface at pH 5.6. 2. The mixed monolayers of any of the different gangliosides showed an immiscible behaviour at high surface pressures, with absence of interactions among them r...
متن کاملDetermination of protein regions responsible for interactions of amelogenin with CD63 and LAMP1.
The enamel matrix protein amelogenin is secreted by ameloblasts into the extracellular space to guide the formation of highly ordered hydroxyapatite mineral crystallites, and, subsequently, is almost completely removed during mineral maturation. Amelogenin interacts with the transmembrane proteins CD63 and LAMP (lysosome-associated membrane protein) 1, which are involved in endocytosis. Exogeno...
متن کاملHuntingtin interactions with membrane phospholipids: strategic targets for therapeutic intervention?
The Huntington's disease gene encodes the protein huntingtin (Htt), a soluble protein that largely distributes to the cytoplasm where about half the protein is found in association with membranes. Early studies on Huntington's disease patients suggested changes in membrane phospholipids. Furthermore, changes in phospholipid biosynthetic enzymes have been found in HD cell models using genetic me...
متن کاملCholesterol's interactions with serine phospholipids - a comparison of N-palmitoyl ceramide phosphoserine with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylserine.
In this study we have prepared ceramide phosphoserine (CerPS) and examined its sterol-interacting properties. CerPS is a hydrogen-bonding sphingolipid, but its head group differs from that found in sphingomyelin (SM). Based on diphenylhexatriene steady-state anisotropy measurements, we observed that fully hydrated N-palmitoyl CerPS had a gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition temperature of...
