The dynamics of cardiolipin synthesis post-mitochondrial fusion

Alteration in mitochondrial fusion may regulate mitochondrial metabolism. Since the phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) is required for function of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, we examined the dynamics of CL synthesis in growing Hela cells immediately af ...

Exploring red blood cell membrane dynamics with digital holographic microscopy

Pierre Magistretti, Christian Depeursinge, Pierre Marquet, Jonas Kühn, Daniel Boss

Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) has been used to investigate the spontaneous cell membrane fluctuations (CMF) of the Red Blood Cell. DHM as an interferometric technique is able to accurately provide the wavefront deformation induced by a transparent s ...

Structure and assembly of pore-forming proteins

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Mirko Bischofberger, Mircea Ioan Iacovache

Pore-forming proteins (PFPs), involved in host-pathogen interactions, are produced as soluble, generally monomeric, proteins. To convert from the soluble to the transmembrane form, PFPs assemble, in the vicinity of the target membrane, into ring-like struc ...

Developmental regulation of the intracellular Ca2+ sensitivity of vesicle fusion and Ca2+-secretion coupling at the rat calyx of Held

Ralf Schneggenburger, Olexiy Kochubey, Yunyun Han

Developmental refinement of synaptic transmission can occur via changes in several pre- and postsynaptic factors, but it has been unknown whether the intrinsic Ca2+ sensitivity of vesicle fusion in the nerve terminal can be regulated during development. Us ...

Coassembly of Mgm1 isoforms requires cardiolipin and mediates mitochondrial inner membrane fusion

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Two dynamin-related protein (DRP) families are essential for fusion of the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes, Fzo1 (yeast)/Mfn1/Mfn2 (mammals) and Mgm1 (yeast)/Opa1 (mammals), respectively. Fzo1/Mfns possess two medial transmembrane domains, which pl ...

Membrane injury by pore-forming proteins

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Mirko Bischofberger, Rodrigo Manuel Gonzalez

The plasma membrane defines the boundary of every living cell, and its integrity is essential for life. The plasma membrane may, however, be challenged by mechanical stress or pore-forming proteins produced by the organism itself or invading pathogens. We ...

Palmitoylation cycles and regulation of protein function (Review)

Steinunn Baekkeskov Hanahan

The efficacy and success of many cellular processes is dependent on a tight orchestration of proteins trafficking to and from their site(s) of action in a time-controlled fashion. Recently, a dynamic cycle of palmitoylation/de-palmitoylation has been shown ...

The enigmatic role of tafazzin in cardiolipin metabolism

Richardus Houtkooper

The mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin plays an important role in cellular metabolism as exemplified by its involvement in mitochondrial energy production and apoptosis. Following its biosynthesis, cardiolipin is actively remodeled to achieve its final ...

Synthesis and biological properties of cylindramide derivatives: evidence for calcium-dependent cytotoxicity of tetramic acid lactams

Nicolai Cramer

To gain insight into the biol. properties of tetramic acid lactam cylindramide 1, the analogs 4a-d bearing a cyclopentane ring instead of the pentalene unit were prepd. by tandem conjugate addn./enolate trapping of cyclopentenone 10; a Sonogashira or Still ...
