In fact, if you take some cholesterol, or another lipid or lipidlike molecule, and dissolve it in water, bilayer membrane vesicles form spontaneously that are called liposomes.
Proper interaction with the lipid bilayer may partly explain the phenomenon.
, to a membrane-localization tag) improve the function of mutant versions of Boi1-PH that are impaired in the ability to bind PIP 2 ? One possibility is that each of these mutant versions of Boi1 retains at least a slight affinity for PIP 2 and that the myristoyl group causes these mutant PH domains to be apposed close enough to the lipid bilayer to enable the residual PIP 2 -binding activity to now be sufficient for binding to PIP 2 . We speculate that, just as binding to PS may serve to position the PH domain of wild-type Boi1 near the plasma membrane in a manner that facilitates binding to PIP 2 , the myristoyl group may help to situate the PH domain of the mutant versions of Boi1-PH at the plasma membrane in a manner that facilitates binding to PIP 2 .
We hypothesize that it is unlikely that some members of the TMC family display an atypical topology, thus we propose that the lipophilic intracellular loop between TM6 and TM7 bears some flexibility, which may enable this domain to integrate into the inner surface of the phospholipid bilayer or even to pass through the plasmamembrane (Figure 2).
This lipid does not support the formation of closed bilayer vesicles, but rather forms micelles like a detergent.
