Composition dependence of vesicle morphology and mixing properties in a bacterial model membrane system.
We have determined the mixing properties and lamellar organization of bacterial membrane mimetics composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (POPE) and -phosphatidylglycerol (POPG) at various molar ratios applying differential scanning calorimetry, small and wide-angle X-ray scattering, as well as optical phase contrast microscopy. Combining the experimental thermodynamic data wi...
متن کاملMixing and Matching during Synaptic Vesicle Endocytosis
The question of how synapses maintain an active recycling pool of synaptic vesicles to support high-frequency synaptic transmission has been a perplexing and often controversial problem. In this issue of Neuron, Fernandez-Alfonso et al. present data indicating that at least two synaptic vesicle proteins, synaptotagmin 1 and VAMP-2, are present in a large pool on the synaptic and axonal plasma m...
متن کاملA single vesicle content mixing assay for SNARE-mediated membrane fusion
The in vitro studies of membrane fusion mediated by soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) have primarily been conducted by following the mixing of lipids. However, the formation of a fusion pore and its expansion has been difficult to detect directly because of the leakiness of proteoliposomes, vesicle aggregation and rupture that often complicate the i...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly Combined with Photopolymerization for the Fabrication of Fluorescence "Turn-On" Vesicle Sensors with Reversible "On-Off" Switching Properties
The irradiation of p-type silicon with 2 MeV He was carried out using a single-ended accelerator. The desired pattern was fed into the IONSCAN software which then controlled the beam scanning. The dose at each region was controlled by the amount of time the beam dwelled at that region. After irradiation, the samples were cleaned with diluted HF (< 10 %) and electrical contact was made to the ba...
متن کاملProtocell self-reproduction in a spatially extended metabolism-vesicle system.
Cellular life requires the presence of a set of biochemical mechanisms in order to maintain a predictable process of growth and division. Several attempts have been made towards the building of minimal protocells from a top-down approach, i.e. by using available biomolecules. This type of synthetic approach has so far been only partially successful, and appropriate models of the synthetic proto...
