Membrane morphology induced by anisotropic proteins.
There are a great many proteins that localize to and collectively generate curvature in biological fluid membranes. We study changes in the topology of fluid membranes due to the presence of highly anisotropic, curvature-inducing proteins. Generically, we find a surprisingly rich phase diagram with phases of both positive and negative Gaussian curvature. As a concrete example modeled on experim...
متن کاملEpigenetic Modifications of Host Genes Induced by Bacterial Infection
Introduction: Epigenetic mechanisms regulate expression of the genome to generate various cell types during development or coordinate cellular responses to external stimulus. While epigenetics is of fundamental importance in eukaryotes, it plays a different role in bacteria. This article uncovers the most important recent data on how bacteria can alter epigenetic marks and can also contribute t...
متن کاملAminoglycoside - Induced Modifications of Membrane Phosphoinositide Metabolism
Several lines of evidence indicate that the first steps in the pathogenesis of anlinoglycoside nephrotoxicity involve the accumulation of the antibiotic in the proximal tubule where it interacts with the plasma membrane of epithelial cells' 2) . In brush border membranes, acidic phospholipids and most particularly phosphoinositides, phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylinositol-4phosphate (PI...
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...
متن کاملMembrane Modifications in Nutritionally Induced Filamentous Escherichia Coli B
Nutritionally induced filamentous cell forms of Escherichia coli B were examined for their morphological and biochemical lesions. The filamentous forms showed no significant alteration in total DNA concentration, RNA synthesis, ability to form beta-galactosidase in response to isopropylthiogalactoside, or insensitivity to actinomycin D as compared to the normal cell form. The filamentous cells ...
