Lateral diffusion of membrane proteins.
We measured the lateral mobility of integral membrane proteins reconstituted in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Receptor, channel, and transporter proteins with 1-36 transmembrane segments (lateral radii ranging from 0.5 to 4 nm) and a alpha-helical peptide (radius of 0.5 nm) were fluorescently labeled and incorporated into GUVs. At low protein-to...
متن کاملLateral diffusion of phospholipids in the plasma membrane of soybean protoplasts: Evidence for membrane lipid domains.
Fluorescent lipid and phospholipid probes were incorporated at 4 degrees C into soybean protoplasts prepared from cultured soybean (SB-1) cells. Fluorescence microscopy showed that the plasma membrane as well as the nucleus were labeled. Fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching (FRAP) analysis was performed on these cells at 18 degrees C to monitor the lateral mobility of the incorporat...
متن کاملEffect of Membrane Potential on Lateral Diffusion
The rate of appearance , in a populat ion of mouse-human heterokaryons , of cells with intermixed mouse and human surface antigens may be used to estimate the rate of lateral diffusion of the antigens in a single cell. Most he terokaryons appear to restrict diffusion of their surface antigens. These restrictions are altered by exposing either he terokaryons or their parent cells to conditions t...
متن کاملThe lateral diffusion of lipid probes in the surface membrane of Schistosoma mansoni
The technique of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching was used to measure the lateral diffusion of fluorescent lipid analogues in the surface membrane of Schistosoma mansoni. Our data reveal that although some lipids could diffuse freely others exhibited restricted lateral diffusion. Quenching of lipid fluorescence by a non-permeant quencher, trypan blue, showed that there was an asymmetr...
متن کاملPolar solvent-induced changes in membrane lipid lateral diffusion in human colon cancer cells.
Polar organic solvents, such as N-methylformamide (NMF), N,N-dimethylformamide, and dimethyl sulfoxide, have been demonstrated to induce differentiation in a number of neoplastic cell lines, including human colon cancer cells. Although the mechanism of action of these agents is yet unknown, one possibility is that polar solvents induce a change in lateral mobility of membrane lipids, important ...
