Journal ArticleDOI

Synergy between intrinsically disordered domains and structured proteins amplifies membrane curvature sensing

TL;DR: An entropic mechanism of curvature sensing that is independent of protein structure is demonstrated and how structured and disordered domains can synergistically enhance curvature sensitivity is illustrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

BAR scaffolds drive membrane fission by crowding disordered domains.

TL;DR: It is shown that full-length BAR domain–containing proteins, rather than stabilizing membrane tubules, are instead surprisingly potent drivers of membrane fission, and the ability to concentrate disordered domains is a key driver of membrane remodeling and fission by BAR domain-containing proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Mechanisms of Membrane Curvature Sensing by a Disordered Protein

TL;DR: Using quantitative imaging of membrane vesicles, the results demonstrate that long disordered amino acid chains with low net charge sense curvature predominately through the entropic mechanism, in contrast, shorter, more highly charged amino acids chains rely largely on the electrostatic mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fermentation Temperature Modulates Phosphatidylethanolamine and Phosphatidylinositol Levels in the Cell Membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: The results from this study indicate that fermenting S. cerevisiae modulates its membrane lipid composition in a temperature-dependent manner.
