Transbilayer movement of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine in proteoliposomes reconstituted from detergent extracts of endoplasmic reticulum. Kinetics of transbilayer transport mediated by a single flippase and identification of protein fractions enriched in flippase activity.

TLDR
An assay to measure the transbilayer translocation of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, a membrane-embedded phospholipid, in proteoliposomes generated from detergent-solubilized rat liver endoplasmic reticulum is described.

Regulation of transbilayer plasma membrane phospholipid asymmetry.

TL;DR: It is shown that the flippase is highly selective for phosphatidylserine and functions to keep this lipid sequestered from the cell surface, and the ABC class of transmembrane transporters, at least two members of this class display selectivity for their substrate lipid.

Lipid flippases and their biological functions.

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent progress on the identification and characterization of the various flippases and the demonstration of their biological functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The reconstituted P-glycoprotein multidrug transporter is a flippase for glucosylceramide and other simple glycosphingolipids

TL;DR: It is concluded that reconstituted Pgp functions as a broad-specificity outwardly-directed flippase for simple glycosphingolipids and membrane phospholIPids.

Flipping lipids: why an' what's the reason for?

TL;DR: Recent progress on this fundamental topic is summarized and the mechanism(s) by which biogenic membrane flippases facilitate transbilayer lipid movement is speculated.

An undecaprenyl phosphate-aminoarabinose flippase required for polymyxin resistance in Escherichia coli.

TL;DR: The results implicate pmrL and pmrM, but not arnT, in transporting undecaprenyl phosphate-α-l-Ara4N across the inner membrane.

A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification.

TL;DR: The lipid decomposition studies in frozen fish have led to the development of a simple and rapid method for the extraction and purification of lipids from biological materials that has been applied to fish muscle and may easily be adapted to use with other tissues.

Two dimensional thin layer chromatographic separation of polar lipids and determination of phospholipids by phosphorus analysis of spots

TL;DR: Separation of polar lipids by two-dimensional thin layer chromatography providing resolution of all the lipid classes commonly encountered in animal cells and a sensitive, rapid, reproducible procedure for determination of phospholipids by phosphorus analysis of spots are described.
