Characterization of plasma membrane domains enriched in lipid metabolites
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A subpopulation of plasma membrane vesicles enriched in membrane lipid metabolites has been isolated from petals of carnation flowers and leaves of canola seedlings. This was achieved by immunopurification from a microsomal membrane preparation using region-specific antibodies raised against a recombinant polypeptide of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase. The properties of this subpopulation of vesicles were compared with those of purified plasma membrane isolated by partitioning in an aqueous dextran-polyethylene glycol two-phase system. The lipid composition of the immunopurified vesicles proved to be clearly distinguishable from that of phase-purified plasma membrane, indicating that they represent a unique subpopulation of plasma membrane vesicles. Specifically, the immunopurified vesicles are highly enriched in lipid metabolites, including free fatty acids, diacylglycerol, triacylglycerol and steryl and wax esters, by comparison with the phase-purified plasma membrane. These findings can be interpreted as indicating that lipid metabolites generated within the plasma membrane effectively phase-separate by moving laterally through the plane of the membrane to form discrete domains within the bilayer. It is also apparent that these domains, once formed, are released as vesicles into the cytosol, presumably by microvesiculation from the surface of the plasmalemma. Such removal may be part of normal membrane turnover.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
