Temperature-induced membrane-lipid adaptation in Acanthamoeba castellanii.
A method has been developed for the separation of the major membrane fractions of Acanthamoeba castellanii after growth at different temperatures. The acyl-lipid compositions of individual membrane fractions, microsomal membranes, plasma membrane and mitochondria were analysed after a shift in culture temperature from 30 degrees C to 15 degrees C. The major change in lipid composition observed ...
متن کاملThe role of desaturases in cold-induced lipid restructuring.
All organisms respond to environmental challenge by adaptive responses, although, in many cases, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not understood. In the case of membranes, the physical structure of membrane phospholipids is conserved in the face of cold, rigidifying conditions by the elevated proportions of unsaturated fatty acids. We have observed a clear positional specificity in this ...
متن کاملChanges in lipid density induce membrane curvature.
Highly curved bilayer lipid membranes make up the shell of many intra- and extracellular compartments, including organelles and vesicles. Using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, we show that increasing the density of lipids in the bilayer membrane can induce the membrane to form a curved shape.
متن کاملCyclophosphamide-Induced Lipid Peroxidation and Changes in Cholesterol Content: Protective Role of Reduced Glutathione
The study was designed with an aim to evaluate the protective effects of reduced glutathione on cyclophosphamide induced lipid peroxidation and also changes in cholesterol content. Goat liver and white New Zealand rabbit were used as lipid source for the models. Lipid peroxidation study was performed by measuring the malondial...
متن کاملTemperature-induced plasticity in membrane and storage lipid composition: thermal reaction norms across five different temperatures.
Temperature is a key environmental factor inducing phenotypic plasticity in a wide range of behavioral, morphological, and life history traits in ectotherms. The strength of temperature-induced responses in fitness-related traits may be determined by plasticity of the underlying physiological or biochemical traits. Lipid composition may be an important trait underlying fitness response to tempe...
