TLDR
The basic concepts of Brownian diffusion and lipid domain formation in model membranes are summarized and the development of ideas and tools in this field are tracked, outlining key results obtained on the dynamic processes at work in membrane structure and assembly.Abstract:
Cell membranes are fascinating supramolecular aggregates that not only form a barrier between compartments but also harbor many chemical reactions essential to the existence and functioning of a cell. Here, it is proposed to review the molecular dynamics and mosaic organization of the plasma membrane, which are thought to have important functional implications. We will first summarize the basic concepts of Brownian diffusion and lipid domain formation in model membranes and then track the development of ideas and tools in this field, outlining key results obtained on the dynamic processes at work in membrane structure and assembly. We will focus in particular on findings made using fluorescent labeling and imaging procedures to record these dynamic processes. We will also discuss a few examples showing the impact of lateral diffusion on cell signal transduction, and outline some future methodological challenges which must be met before we can answer some of the questions arising in this field of research.read more

TL;DR: GTPase coordination in mouse embryonic fibroblasts is examined both through simultaneous visualization of two GTPase biosensors and using a ‘computational multiplexing’ approach capable of defining the relationships between multiple protein activities visualized in separate experiments, finding that RhoA is activated at the cell edge synchronous with edge advancement, whereas Cdc42 and Rac1 are activated 2 μm behind the edge with a delay of 40 s.

TL;DR: An analytical single-particle tracking method and tool, multiple-target tracing (MTT), that takes advantage of the high spatial resolution provided by single-fluorophore sensitivity to generate dynamic maps at high densities of tracked particles, thereby providing global representation of molecular dynamics in cell membranes.

TL;DR: A free‐like diffusion was observed when both the lipid‐dependent and cytoskeleton‐based organizations were disrupted, which suggests that these are two main compartmentalizing forces at work in the plasma membrane.

Organization and Ca2+ Regulation of Adenylyl Cyclases in cAMP Microdomains
TL;DR: The regulation of many of the ACs by the ubiquitous second messenger Ca(2+) provides an overarching mechanism for integrating the activities of these two major signaling systems, and cAMP will exhibit distinct kinetics in discrete cellular domains.

Direct Visualization of Lipid Phase Segregation in Single Lipid Bilayers with Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering Microscopy
Eric O. Potma,X. Sunney Xie +1 more
TL;DR: To rule out any artifacts, a clear visualization of lipid domains in free-standing bilayers without the addition of fluorescent labels is required for an unambiguous observation of phase-segregated lipid domains.

Accuracy and Dynamic Range of Spatial Image Correlation and Cross-Correlation Spectroscopy
TL;DR: This study uses simulations to model laser scanning microscopy imaging of static subdiffraction limit fluorescent proteins or protein clusters in a cell membrane and systematically calculates how the accuracy of both image correlation methods depends on practical experimental collection parameters and characteristics of the sample.

Mechanisms of membrane potential sensing with second-harmonic generation microscopy.
TL;DR: Two mechanisms are found to contribute to the voltage response of a novel second-harmonic generation (SHG) marker: an electro-optic-induced alteration of the molecular hyperpolarizability and an electric-field-induced altered of the degree of molecular alignment.

Low mobility of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate underlies receptor specificity of Gq-mediated ion channel regulation in atrial myocytes
TL;DR: The results imply that PIP2 depletion is localized adjacent to GqPCRs because of its low mobility, and that spatial proximity of Gq protein-coupled receptors and the target protein underlies the receptor specificity of PIP1-mediated signaling.

The spectrin network as a barrier to lateral diffusion in erythrocytes. A percolation analysis
TL;DR: Monte Carlo calculations yield the average distance over which short-range diffusion can occur, as a function of the fraction of spectrin tetramers, and applications to erythrocyte development and hereditary hemolytic anemia are discussed.
