  • Both mitochondria depolarization and cytochrome c release are dependent on raft-like microdomain integrity, since the disruption of raft-like microdomains by methyl-β-cyclodextrin prevented mitochondria depolarization or cytochrome c release induced by GD3 or by the active form of Bid (t-Bid) [13].

  • It was in fact suggested that mitochondria remodeling in terms of structural modifications, i.e. their curvature changes, as well as their fission process, could be under the influence of several molecules, including lipid microdomains.

  • These are atypical femtoliter-order microdomains where the behavior of even single molecules may have important biological consequences.

  • The A isoform-specific region generally contained four conserved microdomains, including the SUMOylation motif and the nuclear localization signal, whereas the B1 isoform-specific region contained three conserved microdomains, including an acidic activator domain-like motif.
