Single-Vesicle Assays Using Liposomes and Cell-Derived Vesicles: From Modeling Complex Membrane Processes to Synthetic Biology and Biomedical Applications
Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Ana Catarina Rodrigues Alves
The plasma membrane is of central importance for defining the closed volume of cells in contradistinction to the extracellular environment. The plasma membrane not only serves as a boundary, but it also mediates the exchange of physical and chemical inform ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2018Label-free and charge-sensitive dynamic imaging of lipid membrane hydration on millisecond time scales
Sylvie Roke, Orly Bagunu Tarun
Biological membranes are highly dynamic and complex lipid bilayers, responsible for the fate of living cells. To achieve this function, the hydrating environment is crucial. However, membrane imaging typically neglects water, focusing on the insertion of p ...
2018Optical Antenna-Based Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy to Probe the Nanoscale Dynamics of Biological Membranes
Jürgen Brugger, Pamina Winkler, Valentin Flauraud, Raju Regmi
The plasma membrane of living cells is compartmentalized at multiple spatial scales ranging from the nano- to the mesoscale. This nonrandom organization is crucial for a large number of cellular functions. At the nanoscale, cell membranes organize into dyn ...
2018FIBCD1 Binds Aspergillus fumigatus and Regulates Lung Epithelial Response to Cell Wall Components
Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) is a ubiquitous fungus of clinical importance associated with development of various pulmonary diseases and allergic hypersensitivity reactions. It is protected against environmental stress by a cell wall that contains ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2018EspL is essential for virulence and stabilizes EspE, EspF and EspH levels in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Stewart Cole, Nina Theres Odermatt, Claudia Sala, Andrej Benjak, Paloma Julia Soler Arnedo, Sofia Ulrika Magnusdotter Von Schultz
The ESX-1, type VII, secretion system represents the major virulence determinant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, one of the most successful intracellular pathogens. Here, by combining genetic and high-throughput approaches, we show that EspL, a protein of 1 ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2018Proteoliposomes - a system to study membrane proteins under buffer gradients by cryo-EM
Membrane proteins are vital to life and major therapeutic targets. Yet, understanding how they function is limited by a lack of structural information. In biological cells, membrane proteins reside in lipidic membranes and typically experience different bu ...
Walter de Gruyter GmbH2017Properties of Enzymes Involved in Tetrachloroethene Respiration
Tetrachloroethene (PCE) pollution threatens nature and human health due to its toxic and carcinogenic potential. Due to industrial activities, large amounts of PCE were discharged into the environment over the last decades and represent one of major ground ...
EPFL2017Rv3852 (H-NS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Is Not Involved in Nucleoid Compaction and Virulence Regulation
Stewart Cole, Nina Theres Odermatt, Claudia Sala, Andrej Benjak, Anthony Vocat, Gaëlle Séraphine Kolly, Andréanne Lupien
A handful of nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) regulate the vast majority of genes in a bacterial cell. H-NS, the histone-like nucleoid-structuring protein, is one of these NAPs and protects Escherichia coli from foreign gene expression. Though lacking a ...
Amer Soc Microbiology2017Essentiality of mmpL3 and impact of its silencing on Mycobacterium tuberculosis gene expression
MmpL3 is an inner membrane transporter of Mycobacterium tuberculosis responsible for the export of trehalose momomycolate, a precursor of the mycobacterial outer membrane component trehalose dimycolate (TDM), as well as mycolic acids bound to arabinogalact ...
Nature Publishing Group2017Damage of eukaryotic cells by the pore-forming toxin sticholysin II: Consequences of the potassium efflux
Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Sylvia Ho
Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) form holes in membranes causing one of the most catastrophic damages to a target cell. Target organisms have evolved a regulated response against PFTs damage including cell membrane repair. This ability of cells strongly depends ...
