Although proteins and lipids have been assumed to be distributed homogeneously in the plasma membrane (PM), recent studies suggest that the PM is in fact non-uniform structure that includes a number of lateral domains enriched in specific components (i.e., sterols, sphingolipids, and some kind of proteins). These domains are called as microdomains and considered to be the platform of biochemical reaction center for various physiological processes. Microdomain is able to be extracted as detergent-resistant membrane (DRM) fractions, and DRM fractions isolated from some plant species have been used for proteome and other biochemical characterizations to understand microdomain functions. Profiling of sterol-dependent proteins using a putative microdomain-disrupting agent suggests specific lipid-protein interactions in the microdomain. Furthermore, DRM proteomes dynamically respond to biotic and abiotic stresses in some plant species. Taken together, these results suggest that DRM proteomic studies provide us important information to understand physiological functions of microdomains that are critical to prosecute plant's life cycle successfully in the aspect of development and stress responses.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 February 2013.
All research outputs
#20,184,694
of 22,699,621 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Plant Science
#15,808
of 19,910 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#248,720
of 280,682 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Plant Science
#241
of 517 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,699,621 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 19,910 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 280,682 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 517 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
