Journal ArticleDOI

Amyloidogenic processing of the Alzheimer β-amyloid precursor protein depends on lipid rafts

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that lipid rafts are critically involved in regulating Aβ generation and the existence of two APP pools is suggested, although APP inside raft clusters seems to be cleaved by β-secretase, APP outside rafts undergoes cleavage by α- secretase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipoprotein particles are required for Hedgehog and Wingless signalling

TL;DR: It is shown that Wingless, Hedgehog and glycophosphatidylinositol-linked proteins copurify with lipoprotein particles, and co-localize with them in the developing wing epithelium of Drosophila.
Journal ArticleDOI

SNAREs are concentrated in cholesterol-dependent clusters that define docking and fusion sites for exocytosis

TL;DR: In the plasmalemma, syntaxins are concentrated in 200 nm large, cholesterol‐dependent clusters at which secretory vesicles preferentially dock and fuse, which suggests that high local concentrations of SNAREs are required for efficient fusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cholesterol binds to synaptophysin and is required for biogenesis of synaptic vesicles

TL;DR: It is proposed that specific interactions between cholesterol and SLMV membrane proteins, such as synaptophysin, contribute to both the segregation of SLMv membrane constituents from plasma-membrane constituents, and the induction of synaptic-vesicle curvature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endophilin I mediates synaptic vesicle formation by transfer of arachidonate to lysophosphatidic acid

TL;DR: It is shown that endophilin I is essential for the formation of synaptic-like microvesicles (SLMVs) from the plasma membrane and proposed that, through this action, endophILin I works with dynamin to mediate synaptic vesicle invagination from the Plasma membrane and fission.
