Plasma membrane order maps functional diversity in immune cells

Abstract Cell membranes undergo biophysical remodeling as an adaptation to the surroundings and to perform specific biological functions. However, the extent and relevance of such changes in human immune cells remain unknown, largely because of the lack of single-cell and multidi...

Cell surface remodeling caused by the loss of the flippase subunit TMEM30A in immune cells

Plasma membrane lipid asymmetry is tightly regulated and fundamental to mammalian cell physiology. TMEM30A is the β-subunit of P4-ATPases, flippase enzymes that maintain strict phosphatidylserine (PS) asymmetry by pumping it from the outer to the cytosolic leaflet. Loss of TMEM30...
