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 کاملMembrane lipid modification and sensitivity of leukemic cells to the thioether lipid analogue BM 41.440.
Since the ether lipid anticancer drugs are membrane targeted, we examined the effect of membrane lipid structural alteration on their cytotoxicity. Enrichment with docosahexaenoic acid increased the sensitivity to the thioether lipid BM 41.440, compared to control cells enriched with oleic acid. The effect was dependent upon drug concentration, time, and the extent of cellular fatty acid enrich...
متن کاملcompactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops
chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...
15 صفحه اولMembrane lipid modification of chinese hamster ovary cells. Thermal properties of membrane phospholipids.
A simple and reproducible method for altering the acyl chain composition of Chinese hamster ovary cell phospholipids is described. By supplementation of the medium with 5% delipidized serum and 12 pg/ml of various fatty acids, extensive incorporation of the added fatty acid into membrane phospholipids was obtained. No significant changes in the phospholipid head group composition or the sterol/...
متن کاملMembrane-lipid unsaturation and mitochondrial function in Saacharomyces cerevisiae.
The lipid composition of yeast cells was manipulated by the use of an unsaturated fatty acid auxotroph of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. There was a 2-3-fold decrease in the concentration of cytochromes a+a3 when the unsaturated fatty acid content of the cells was decreased from 60-70% of the total fatty acid to 20-30%. The amounts of cytochromes b and c were also decreased under these conditions, b...
