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.

How proteins move lipids and lipids move proteins
TL;DR: It is described here how the distribution of lipids is directed by proteins, and, conversely, how lipids influence the distribution and function of proteins.

Properties of a 4Pi confocal fluorescence microscope
TL;DR: In a 4Pi confocal fluorescence microscope two opposing microscope objective lenses were used to illuminate a fluorescent object from both sides and to collect the fluorescence emissions on both sides, resulting in an axial resolution approximately four times higher than that in a confocalfluorescence microscope.

TL;DR: The diffusional mobilities of mammalian Golgi membrane proteins fused with green fluorescent protein from Aequorea victoria were measured in living HeLa cells with the fluorescence photobleaching recovery technique, and it is suggested that Golgi targeting and retention of these molecules does not depend on protein immobilization.

TL;DR: Novel extensions to ICS are developed that probe spatial correlations in previously inaccessible temporal windows and are used to determine for the first time spatially resolved diffusions of paxillin-EGFP stably expressed in CHOK1 cells.

TL;DR: Results from this work are clarifying the steps involved in the formation, translocation, and fusion of transport intermediates; the organization and biogenesis of organelles; and the mechanisms of protein retention, sorting, and recycling in the secretory pathway.
