Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic sorting of lipids and proteins in membrane tubes with a moving phase boundary
TL;DR: The phenomenon of curvature-induced domain nucleation and growth in membrane mixtures with fluid phase coexistence is introduced and a novel dynamic membrane sorting principle is suggested that may contribute to intracellular protein and lipid sorting and trafficking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flicker Spectroscopy of Thermal Lipid Bilayer Domain Boundary Fluctuations
Cinzia Esposito,Cinzia Esposito,Aiwei Tian,Svetlana Melamed,Corinne N. Johnson,Shang-You Tee,Tobias Baumgart +6 more
TL;DR: Measurements of lipid bilayer domain line tension based on two-dimensional thermal undulations of membranes with liquid ordered/liquid disordered phase coexistence and near-critical composition at room temperature are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bending Stiffness Depends on Curvature of Ternary Lipid Mixture Tubular Membranes
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the stiffness of ternary lipid mixtures depends on membrane curvature for a large range of lipid compositions, and that curvature-induced demixing increases upon approaching the critical region of a ternARY lipid mixture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipid Bilayer Domain Fluctuations as a Probe of Membrane Viscosity
TL;DR: It is argued that membrane viscosity, η(m), plays a prominent role in the thermal fluctuation dynamics of micron-scale lipid domains and domain flicker spectroscopy is suggested as a convenient means to simultaneously measure both the line tension, σ, and the membrane vis Cosmosis, governing the behavior of individual lipid domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sperm maturation in human semen: role of transglutaminase-mediated reactions.
Raffaele Porta,Cinzia Esposito,A. De Santis,Alfredo Fusco,Michelangelo Iannone,Salvatore Metafora +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence is reported of the ability of several seminal plasma proteins to act as acyl donor substrates for endogenous transglutaminase, whereas human ejaculated spermatozoa have been shown to possess polyamine-binding sites specifically involved in transglUTaminase-catalyzed reactions.
