… Siegel, DP & Kozlov, MM The gaussian curvature elastic modulus of N-monomethylated
dioleoylphos-phatidylethanolamine: relevance to membrane fusion and lipid phase behavior. …

Diverse membrane fusion reactions in biology involve close contact between two lipid
bilayers, followed by the local distortion of the individual bilayers and reformation into a single, …

▪ Abstract Disparate biological processes involve fusion of two membranes into one and fission
of one membrane into two. To formulate the possible job description for the proteins that …

… The indicated proteins were incubated with liposomes of different sizes (0.8 to 0.05 μm)
in the absence (1 mM EDTA) or presence of 1 mM Ca 2+ . P, pellet formed by centrifuging; S, …

Membrane fusion proceeds via formation of intermediate nonbilayer structures. The stalk
model of fusion intermediate is commonly recognized to account for the major phenomenology …

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) consists of the nuclear envelope and a peripheral network
of tubules and membrane sheets. The tubules are shaped by the curvature-stabilizing …

Conclusions The results reviewed suggest that membrane fusion in diverse biological fusion
reactions involves formation of some specific intermediates: stalks and pores. Energy of …

Cellular organelles have characteristic morphologies that arise as a result of different local
membrane curvatures. A striking example is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which consists …

A wide spectrum of intracellular processes is dependent on the ability of cells to dynamically
regulate membrane shape. Membrane bending by proteins is necessary for the generation …

The tubular structure of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) appears to be generated by integral
membrane proteins, the reticulons and a protein family consisting of DP1 in mammals and …
