“ Magnesium depletion of the erythrocytes considerably decreases the outward rate of both aminophospholipids to values close to that of phosphatidylcholine.”
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America • 1988 | View Paper
“Measurements with a fluorescent probe TMA-DPH and its sensitized fluorescence with tryptophan residues as donors revealed that magnesium increased the order of the membrane phospholipids both in the lipid annulus and in the bulk phase.”
“Liposomes of acidic phospholipids or phosphatidylcholine containing anionic amphipaths prevented the ATP plus Mg 2 + -induced decrease of ATPase activity in Mg-ATP particles which have a high content of ATPase inhibitor.”
“Of these three NPPases (acid, Mg2+‐activated, and K+, Mg2+‐activated), only K‐Mg NPPase was stimulated about two‐fold by phospholipid and was inhibited by unsaturated neutral lipids and fatty acids.”
“These results indicated a possible role of anionic phospholipids in mediating binding of MTR and its magnesium complex to the cell surface membranes before reaching the target DNA.”
