Virus entry, assembly, budding, and membrane rafts.
As intracellular parasites, viruses rely heavily on the use of numerous cellular machineries for completion of their replication cycle. The recent discovery of the heterogeneous distribution of the various lipids within cell membranes has led to the proposal that sphingolipids and cholesterol tend to segregate in microdomains called membrane rafts. The involvement of membrane rafts in biosynthe...
متن کاملRole of Membrane Rafts in Viral Infection
Membrane rafts are small (10-200 nm), heterogeneous, highly dynamic, steroland sphingolipid-enriched domains that compartmentalize cellular processes. Many studies have established that membrane rafts play an important role in the process of virus infection cycle and virus-associated diseases. It is well known that many viral components or virus receptors are concentrated in the lipid microdoma...
متن کاملMicrobial pathogenesis: Lipid rafts as pathogen portals
The route of initial entry influences how host cells respond to intracellular pathogens. Recent studies have demonstrated that a wide variety of pathogens target lipid microdomains in host cell membranes, known as lipid rafts, to enter host cells as an infectious strategy.
متن کاملLipid rafts and membrane dynamics.
Cell membranes contain a variety of lipid species that differ in their physico-chemical properties. Lipid-lipid immiscibility gives rise to lateral heterogeneities in the membrane plane, a subset of which are termed lipid rafts (Simons and Vaz, 2004). Originally defined biochemically as detergentresistant membrane (DRM) fractions, lipid rafts are proposed to be highly dynamic, submicroscopic as...
متن کاملMembrane organization and lipid rafts.
Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer, containing proteins that span the bilayer and/or interact with the lipids on either side of the two leaflets. Although recent advances in lipid analytics show that membranes in eukaryotic cells contain hundreds of different lipid species, the function of this lipid diversity remains enigmatic. The basic structure of cell membranes is the lipid bil...
