Membrane phospholipid asymmetry in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens

Plasma membrane phospholipid asymmetry.

Membrane phospholipid asymmetry in human thalassemia.

Phospholipid asymmetry in the red blood cell (RBC) lipid bilayer is well maintained during the life of the cell, with phosphatidylserine (PS) virtually exclusively located in the inner monolayer. Loss of phospholipid asymmetry, and consequently exposure of PS, is thought to play an important role in red cell pathology. The anemia in the human thalassemias is caused by a combination of ineffecti...

Regulation of transbilayer plasma membrane phospholipid asymmetry.

Lipids in biological membranes are asymmetrically distributed across the bilayer; the amine-containing phospholipids are enriched on the cytoplasmic surface of the plasma membrane, while the choline-containing and sphingolipids are enriched on the outer surface. The maintenance of transbilayer lipid asymmetry is essential for normal membrane function, and disruption of this asymmetry is associa...

Transformation in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.

The methodology and some of the requirements for the deoxyribonucleic acid-mediated transformation of an arginine auxotroph of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens to prototrophy are described.

Pathophysiologic implications of membrane phospholipid asymmetry in blood cells.
