Constrained diffusion or immobile fraction on cell surfaces: a new interpretation. of outstanding interest Biophys J. 70:1996;2767-2773 A new approach to FPR data that assumes that the actual mobile fraction of labeled molecules is 100% and that the apparent lower mobile fraction is due to anomalous, spatially restricted, D. The model for these experiments is one in which the membrane is considered as a random array of continuously changing potential energy traps. The range of binding energies of, and escape rates from, the traps is so broad that there is no average binding or residence time - the traps occur on all temporal and spatial scales.

Fluorescence quenching and ESR study of percolation in a two-phase lipid bilayer containing bacteriorhodopsin. of special interest Biophys J. 1997; Although incorporation of up to 1 mol% bacteriorhodopsin in fluid/gel bilayers has little or no effect on the phase diagram of the system, it affects the topology of fluid domains, as probed by lateral diffusion of fluorescent or spin-labeled lipids. These results are consistent with increases in the size of fluid phase domains in the presence of bacteriorhodopsin but are also consistent with changes in the shape of the domains towards uniform circular profiles. This paper concludes with some interesting speculations on the relationship between partitioning of membrane proteins into gel or fluid phases, the interphase and the size and shape of lipid microdomains.

The authors suggest that DAG-rich domains can form locally (and transiently) as a consequence of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C activity.

Compartmentalized activation of the high affinity IgE receptor within membrane domains. of special interest J Biol Chem. 272:1997;4276-4280 Within minutes of cross-linking, the bulk of the IgE receptor shifts from dense sucrose gradient fractions to floating fractions usually associated with GPI-proteins and detergent-insoluble lipids; the fractions are enriched in tyrosine kinases. The shift appears to be required for signaling from the receptor. The biochemical changes described expand on earlier work from this group showing that cross-linking the IgE receptor results in association of a fluorescent phospholipid analog with the receptor aggregates [44].

Surprisingly, the same fraction can be isolated from L-1210 lymphoblasts which lack caveolin and morphological caveolae. Indeed, the same amount of protein is found in the 'caveolar fraction' of L-1210 as in the same fraction from L-1210 cells transfected with the caveolin I gene.

It is used to image the lateral diffusion of labeled phospholipids in a single membrane. Although the positional accuracy claimed is only 30 nm, the method has great potential for detecting microdomains in cell membranes in terms of the transient confinement of labeled molecules.
