Lipid Polymorphism and Membrane Function
One of the fundamental problems in membrane biology is that of lipid diversity. The number of chemically different membrane lipids is much larger than other key biological building blocks such as nucleotides, amino acids, and carbohydrates. For instance, a relatively simple biomembrane such as that of the red blood cell contains well over a hundred different lipid species. Except for some metab...
متن کاملLipid-protein interactions as determinants of membrane protein structure and function.
To determine how the lipid environment affects membrane protein structure and function, strains of Escherichia coli were developed in which normal phospholipid composition can be altered or foreign lipids can be introduced. The properties of LacY (lactose permease) were investigated as a function of lipid environment. Assembly of LacY in membranes lacking PE (phosphatidylethanolamine) results i...
متن کاملThe modulation of protein kinase C activity by membrane lipid bilayer structure.
The hypothesis that protein kinase C (PKC) activity is sensitive to phospholipid head group interactions was tested using lipid bilayers of defined composition with PKC purified from rat brain. The head group interactions were modulated by varying phosphatidylcholine cis-unsaturation, vesicle curvature, and by the addition of phosphatidylethanolamine and cholesterol. With unilamellar vesicles (...
متن کاملModulation of membrane surface curvature by peptide-lipid interactions.
Recent reports on the interaction of cardiotoxin and melittin with phospholipid model membranes are reviewed and analyzed. These types of peptide toxins are able to modulate lipid surface curvature and polymorphism in a highly lipid-specific way. It is demonstrated that the remarkable variety of effects of melittin on the organization of different membrane phospholipids can be understood in a r...
متن کاملProtein-Induced Modulation of Chloroplast Membrane Morphology
Organelles are surrounded by membranes with a distinct lipid and protein composition. While it is well established that lipids affect protein functioning and vice versa, it has been only recently suggested that elevated membrane protein concentrations may affect the shape and organization of membranes. We therefore analyzed the effects of high chloroplast envelope protein concentrations on memb...
