Both Sphingolipids and Cholesterol Participate in the Detergent Insolubility of Alkaline Phosphatase, a Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored Protein, in Mammalian Membranes
SPB-1, a Chinese hamster ovary cell variant defective in serine palmitoyltransferase activity for sphingolipid synthesis, provides a useful system for studying the effects of sp...
Ectocytosis caused by sublytic autologous complement attack on human neutrophils. The sorting of endogenous plasma-membrane proteins and lipids into shed vesicles
During sublytic complement attack on human neutrophils, plasma-membrane vesicles are shed from the cell surface as a cell-protection mechanism. By using surface-iodinated neutro...
Interactions between saturated acyl chains confer detergent resistance on lipids and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins: GPI-anchored proteins in liposomes and cells show similar behavior.
Proteins anchored by GPI are poorly solubilized from cell membranes by cold nonionic detergents because they associate with detergent-resistant membranes rich in cholesterol and...
VIP21/caveolin is a cholesterol-binding protein.
VIP21/caveolin is localized to both caveolae and apical transport vesicles and presumably cycles between the cell surface and the Golgi complex. We have studied the lipid intera...
