Detergent Insolubility and Lipid Rafts

چکیده
phase domains, leaving the lo-phase domains relatively unchanged as DRMs. Both of these approaches showed that TX100 did not substantially change the relative amounts of membrane in the two phases. By contrast, using calorimetry, Heerklotz and colleagues reported that TX100 can induce phase separation in previously uniform mixtures (45, 46). However, results of the other two studies described above suggest that any such effect may be relatively minor.

Insolubility of lipids in triton X-100: physical origin and relationship to sphingolipid/cholesterol membrane domains (rafts).
The insolubility of lipids in detergents is a useful method for probing the structure of biological membranes. Insolubility in detergents like Triton X-100 is observed in lipid bilayers that exist in physical states in which lipid packing is tight. The Triton X-100-insoluble lipid fraction obtained after detergent extraction of eukaryotic cells is composed of detergent-insoluble membranes rich ...
متن کاملDifferential effects of glycosphingolipids on the detergent-insolubility of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane dipeptidase.
The insolubility of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins in certain detergents appears to be an intrinsic property of their association with sphingolipids and cholesterol in lipid rafts. We show that the GPI-anchored protein membrane dipeptidase is localized in detergent-insoluble lipid rafts isolated from porcine kidney microvillar membranes, and that these rafts, which lack ca...
متن کاملAmyloid precursor protein, although partially detergent-insoluble in mouse cerebral cortex, behaves as an atypical lipid raft protein.
Lipid rafts are regions of the plasma membrane that are enriched in cholesterol, glycosphingolipids and acylated proteins, and which have been proposed as sites for the proteolytic processing of the Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein (APP). Lipid rafts can be isolated on the basis of their insolubility in Triton X-100 at 4 degrees C, with the resulting low-density, detergent-insoluble glycol...
متن کاملLipid rafts prepared by different methods contain different connexin channels, but gap junctions are not lipid rafts.
Cell extraction with cold nonionic detergents or alkaline carbonate prepares an insoluble membrane fraction whose buoyant density permits its flotation in discontinuous sucrose gradients. These lipid "rafts" are implicated in protein sorting and are attractive candidates as platforms that coordinate signal transduction pathways with intracellular substrates. Gap junctions form a direct molecula...
