Kai Simons Part 1: The role of lipids in organizing the cellular traffic.

http://www.ibioseminars.org/lectures/bio-mechanisms/kai-simons.html
Simons begins by explaining that both cholesterol and sphingolipids are made in the ER and transported to various membranes in the cell. This sorting leads to an increased concentration of cholesterol and sphingolipids in the plasma membrane relative to other membranes. In addition, cholesterol and sphingolipids tend to cluster together to form lipid rafts within the plasma membrane. Since certain proteins associate with cholesterol and sphingolipids, this lipid sorting directs the movement of proteins within the cell. In the second part of his talk, Simons describes mechanisms by which small nanoscale rafts can coalesce to form larger rafts. He also describes how processes such as palmitoylation and GPI-anchoring regulate the association of proteins with rafts. In Part 3, Simons demonstrates how proteins and glycolipids segregate to the apical domain in polarized epithelial cells.

¡Me cago en la puta! A parte de ser en inglés, el tío tiene un acentazo que no se le entiende nada.

Los de la Complutense se lo podrían preparar al menos. Seguro que ni ellos saben qué cojones está diciendo.
