Membrane lipid segregation in endocytosis.
We explore the equilibrium mechanics of a binary lipid membrane that wraps around a spherical or cylindrical particle. One of the lipid membrane components induces a positive spontaneous curvature, while the other induces a negative local curvature. Using a Hamiltonian approach, we derive the equations governing the membrane shape and lipid concentrations near the wrapped object. Asymptotic exp...
متن کاملSize-dependent protein segregation at membrane interfaces.
Membrane interfaces formed at cell-cell junctions are associated with characteristic patterns of membrane protein organization, such as E-cadherin enrichment in epithelial junctional complexes and CD45 exclusion from the signaling foci of immunological synapses. To isolate the role of protein size in these processes, we reconstituted membrane interfaces in vitro using giant unilamellar vesicles...
متن کاملLipid and protein segregation in Escherichia coli membrane: morphological and structural study of different cytoplasmic membrane fractions.
Lipid and protein segregations can be induced in E. coli cytoplasmic membranes by conformational transitions of their lipid hydrocarbon chains from a disordered to an ordered state. For E. coli strain K 1059 (an unsaturated fatty acid auxotroph) supplemented with linolenic acid, the segregation leads to large areas of membrane surfaces having distinctly different morphological characteristics (...
متن کاملSpecific protein-lipid interactions in membrane proteins.
Many membrane proteins selectively bind defined lipid species. This specificity has an impact on correct insertion, folding, structural integrity and full functionality of the protein. How are these different tasks achieved? Recent advances in structural research of membrane proteins provide new information about specific protein-lipid interactions. Tightly bound lipids in membrane protein stru...
متن کاملMembrane protein dynamics: limited lipid control
Correlation of lipid disorder with membrane protein dynamics has been studied with infrared spectroscopy, by combining data characterizing lipid phase, protein structure and, via hydrogen-deuterium (H/D) exchange, protein dynamics. The key element was a new measuring scheme, by which the combined effects of time and temperature on the H/D exchange could be separated. Cyanobacterial and plant th...
