The C2 Domain of PKCα Is a Ca2+-dependent PtdIns(4,5)P2 Sensing Domain: A New Insight into an Old Pathway

TLDR
It was shown that although a fraction of PtdIns(4,5)P2 is hydrolyzed to generate diacylglycerol and IP3, an important amount still remains in the membrane where it is available to activate PKCalpha, requiring revision of the currently accepted model of PK Calpha recruitment to the membrane and its activation.

Membrane recognition by phospholipid-binding domains.

TL;DR: Many different globular domains bind to the surfaces of cellular membranes, or to specific phospholipid components in these membranes, and this binding is often tightly regulated.

Survey of the year 2005: literature on applications of isothermal titration calorimetry.

TL;DR: An overview of the literature for 2005 is attempted to highlight works of interest and novelty and draw attention to those works which it is felt have provided a route to better analysis and increased the ability to understand the meaning of thermodynamic change on binding.

Signaling through C2 domains: more than one lipid target.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the main structural and functional findings on Ca(2+) and lipid interactions by C2 domains, including the discovery of the phosphoinositide-binding site located in the β3-β4 strands.

Protein kinase C and lipid signaling for sustained cellular responses.

TL;DR: It is now becoming evident that stimulation of a cell surface receptor initiates a degradation cascade of various membrane lipid constituents that has potentials to induce, intensify, and prolong the activation of protein kinase C that is needed for sustained cellular responses.

Partitioning of lipid-modified monomeric GFPs into membrane microdomains of live cells.

TL;DR: Fluorescence resonance energy transfer measurements in living cells revealed that acyl but not prenyl modifications promote clustering in lipid rafts, and the nature of the lipid anchor on a protein is sufficient to determine submicroscopic localization within the plasma membrane.
