Sang S, Silvius J
J Pept Res . 2005 Sep; 66(4):169-80. PMID: 16138855
S-acylated peptides have many potential uses for elucidating the biophysical, structural and other properties of the numerous S-acylated proteins of mammalian cells. However, with the currently available reagents, preparation of...

Silvius J
J Membr Biol . 2002 Dec; 190(2):83-92. PMID: 12474073
Many physiological and oncogenic activities of the "classical" Ras proteins (H-Ras, N-Ras and K-Ras4A and -4B) require their correct localization to the plasma membrane. Nascent Ras proteins, however, initially associate...

Wang T, Leventis R, Silvius J
Biochemistry . 2001 Oct; 40(43):13031-40. PMID: 11669641
We have used a fluorescence assay and detergent fractionation to examine the partitioning of different fluorescent lipidated peptides, with sequences and lipid substituents matching those found in various classes of...

Wang T, Silvius J
Biophys J . 2001 Oct; 81(5):2762-73. PMID: 11606289
A fluorescence-quenching method has been used to assess the potential formation of segregated liquid-ordered domains in lipid bilayers combining cholesterol with mixtures of amino and choline phospholipids like those found...

Leventis R, Silvius J
Biophys J . 2001 Sep; 81(4):2257-67. PMID: 11566796
In view of the demonstrated cholesterol-binding capabilities of certain cyclodextrins, we have examined whether these agents can also catalyze efficient transfer of cholesterol between lipid vesicles. We here demonstrate that...

Wang T, Silvius J
Biophys J . 2000 Sep; 79(3):1478-89. PMID: 10969009
Two fluorescence-based approaches have been applied to examine the differential partitioning of fluorescent phospho- and sphingolipid molecules into sphingolipid-enriched domains modeling membrane "lipid rafts." Fluorescence-quenching measurements reveal that N-(diphenylhexatrienyl)propionyl- (DPH3:0-)-labeled...

Wang T, Leventis R, Silvius J
Biophys J . 2000 Aug; 79(2):919-33. PMID: 10920023
A fluorescence-quenching assay is described that can directly monitor the relative extents of partitioning of different but structurally homologous fluorescent molecules into liquid-ordered (l(o)) domains in lipid vesicles exhibiting liquid-ordered/liquid-disordered...

Roy M, Leventis R, Silvius J
Biochemistry . 2000 Jul; 39(28):8298-307. PMID: 10889039
Mutational analysis and in vitro assays of membrane association have been combined to investigate the mechanism of plasma membrane targeting mediated by the farnesylated, polybasic carboxy-terminal sequence of K-ras4B in...

Dunphy J, Schroeder H, Leventis R, Greentree W, Knudsen J, Silvius J, et al.
Biochim Biophys Acta . 2000 Jun; 1485(2-3):185-98. PMID: 10832099
Both enzymatic and autocatalytic mechanisms have been proposed to account for protein thioacylation (commonly known as palmitoylation). Acyl-CoA binding proteins (ACBP) strongly suppress non-enzymatic thioacylation of cysteinyl-containing peptides by long-chain...
