N-terminal proline-rich domain is required for scrambling activity of human phospholipid scramblases.

TLDR
It is concluded that scramblases exhibit Ca2+-dependent scrambling activity by aggregation of protein, and the results suggest that PRD is crucial for the function of the protein.

Roles and regulation of phospholipid scramblases

TL;DR: The characterization of PL scramblase (PLSCR) and XKR family members and TMEM16 family members which contribute to phosphatidylserine exposure in response to apoptotic stimuli are described and their potential roles in pathogenic conditions are reported.

The role of human phospholipid scramblases in apoptosis: An overview.

TL;DR: The role of hPLSCRs in mediating cell death through phosphatidylserine exposure, interaction with death receptors, cardiolipin exposure, heavy metal and radiation induced apoptosis and pathological apoptosis followed by their involvement in cancer cells are discussed.

Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 5-Scramblase Signaling Complex Mediates Neuronal Phosphatidylserine Externalization and Apoptosis.

TL;DR: The present study suggested that TRPC5-PLSCR1 is a signaling complex mediating PS externalization and apoptosis in neurons and thatTRPC5 plays a pathological role in cerebral-ischemia reperfusion injury.

Calcium-dependent phospholipid scrambling by TMEM16F

TL;DR: It is shown that TMEM16F (transmembrane protein 16F) is an essential component for the Ca2+-dependent exposure of PtdSer on the cell surface, which results from a defect in phospholipid scrambling activity and is found to carry a mutation at a splice-acceptor site of the gene encoding TMEM 16F, causing the premature termination of the protein.

Pore formation and translocation of melittin

TL;DR: A novel model for the melittin pore formation was discussed in comparison with other pore-forming peptides, and a new double-labeling method clarified that the pore size increased with the peptide-to-lipid ratio.
