✦ Synopsis

Many cellular signaling and communication events take place at the plasma membrane and thus the characterization of the plasma membrane proteome has been a hot research area in the hopes of learning more about these processes. Membrane microdomains are large protein and lipid complexes found on the cell surface membrane, able to concentrate or recruit signaling molecules or factors. The first step of any organelle proteomics study is to get a pure and enriched protein sample yet this has always been problematic in membrane proteomics as it is virtually impossible to purify a specific membrane type to homogeneity. In this review, we summarize the biochemical and proteomic approaches that have been used recently in the isolation and identification of several membrane microdomains and non-typical membrane proteins.

In fungi, cell shape is determined by the presence of a rigid cell wall which separates the cell from the extracellular medium. This highly dynamic structure is essential for the maintenance of cell integrity and is involved in several phenomena such as flocculation, adherence and pathogenicity. The

Lectins are a structurally diverse class of (glyco)proteins which bind mono- and oligosaccharides with high specificity and in a reversible way. For many years, the unique sugar binding properties of plant lectins have been exploited for the development of biochemical tools for glycoprotein isolatio
