Journal ArticleDOI
Partners in Crime: The Interplay of Proteins and Membranes in Regulated Necrosis
TL;DR: It is pointed out that although the plasma membrane is the common target in regulated necrosis, different mechanisms of permeabilization have emerged depending on the cell death form, and this diverse repertoire of mechanisms leading to membrane permeabilized contributes to define the specific inflammatory and immunological outcome of each type ofregulated necrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mycotoxin phomoxanthone A disturbs the form and function of the inner mitochondrial membrane
Philip Böhler,Fabian Stuhldreier,Ruchika Anand,Arun Kumar Kondadi,David Schlütermann,Niklas Berleth,Jana Deitersen,Nora Wallot-Hieke,Wenxian Wu,Marian Frank,Hendrik Niemann,Elisabeth Wesbuer,Andreas Barbian,Tomas Luyten,Jan B. Parys,Stefanie Weidtkamp-Peters,Andrea Borchardt,Andreas S. Reichert,Aida Peña-Blanco,Ana J. García-Sáez,Samuel Itskanov,Alexander M. van der Bliek,Peter Proksch,Sebastian Wesselborg,Björn Stork +24 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that PXA is a mitochondrial toxin with a novel mode of action that might prove a useful tool for the study of mitochondrial ion homoeostasis and membrane dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new perspective on membrane-embedded Bax oligomers using DEER and bioresistant orthogonal spin labels
Markus Teucher,Hui Zhang,Verian Bader,Konstanze F. Winklhofer,Ana J. García-Sáez,Andrzej Rajca,Stephanie Bleicken,Enrica Bordignon +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown how the combination of spectroscopically distinguishable nitroxide and gadolinium spin labels and Double Electron-Electron Resonance can help to gain new insights into the quaternary structure of active, membrane-embedded Bax oligomers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) as a new tool for analysis of caspase-8/Bid-FL complex binding to cardiolipin and its functional activity
TL;DR: The findings suggest an active role for mitochondrial membrane lipids, particularly CL, in binding active caspase-8 and providing a docking site for Bid-FL, which was previously only poorly documented and substantially underestimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confocal microscopy of giant vesicles supports the absence of HIV-1 neutralizing 2F5 antibody reactivity to plasma membrane phospholipids.
Beatriz Apellaniz,Ana J. García-Sáez,Nerea Huarte,Renate Kunert,Karola Vorauer-Uhl,Hermann Katinger,Petra Schwille,José L. Nieva +7 more
TL;DR: Antibody partitioning into lipid bilayers required the specific recognition of membrane‐inserted epitope, indicating that 2F5 was unable to directly react with GUV phospholipids, even under fluid phase segregation conditions.
