Nonlinear Sorting, Curvature Generation, and Crowding of Endophilin N-BAR on Tubular Membranes

TLDR
The spontaneous curvature induced by endophilin is determined and a nonlinear curvature/composition coupling model is developed that predicts a curvature-induced phase transition among two states with varying protein density and membrane curvature.

Curvature, lipid packing, and electrostatics of membrane organelles: defining cellular territories in determining specificity.

TL;DR: Whereas some rare lipids contribute to the identity of cell organelles, this work focuses on the abundant lipids that form the matrix of organelle membranes, which provide specificity for reactions occurring along the secretory pathway, on the plasma membrane, and also on lipid droplets and autophagosomes.

When Physics Takes Over: BAR Proteins and Membrane Curvature

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the multifaceted coupling of Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) proteins to membrane mechanics and propose a simple phase diagram that recapitulates the effects of these parameters.

IRSp53 senses negative membrane curvature and phase separates along membrane tubules

TL;DR: An original assay in which proteins are encapsulated in giant unilamellar vesicles connected to membrane nanotubes is developed, demonstrating that I-BAR dimers sense negative membrane curvature and allows constriction of weakly curved membranes coupled to local protein enrichment at biologically relevant conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein sorting by lipid phase-like domains supports emergent signaling function in B lymphocyte plasma membranes.

TL;DR: It is shown that lipid mediated forces can bias biochemical networks in ways that broadly impact signal transduction and are demonstrated to be generalized to other signaling pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane tension and peripheral protein density mediate membrane shape transitions

TL;DR: Experimental evidence is provided for a mechanism whereby membrane tension reduction initiates membrane budding and tubulation mediated by endocytic proteins such as endophilin A1, and a membrane shape stability diagram is obtained that shows remarkable consistency with a quantitative model.

The mathematics of diffusion

John Crank
TL;DR: Though it incorporates much new material, this new edition preserves the general character of the book in providing a collection of solutions of the equations of diffusion and describing how these solutions may be obtained.

Membrane curvature and mechanisms of dynamic cell membrane remodelling

TL;DR: Membrane curvature is no longer seen as a passive consequence of cellular activity but an active means to create membrane domains and to organize centres for membrane trafficking.

BAR domains as sensors of membrane curvature: the amphiphysin BAR structure

TL;DR: The structure of the Drosophila amphiphysin BAR domain is solved and it is predicted that BAR domains are in many protein families, including sorting nexins, centaurins, and oligophrenins.
