We study the lateral organization of biological membranes into microdomains, i.e., areas with specific shape, composition and function. We put the emphasis on their involvement in the regulation of cellular processes in response to stimuli from the environment. Taking the maximum advantage of the genetically accessible yeast model, we particularly investigate the role of membrane microdomains in stress perception and adaptation, in signaling and regulation of cellular metabolism. These membrane functions presuppose communication between different microdomains, both within one particular membrane and between different specialized membranes within the membrane system of a eukaryotic cell. For example, we have recently described how a protein native to plasma membrane domains affects the morphology and functional properties of microdomains in the membrane of the vacuole.

Plasma membrane protein Nce102 modulates morphology and function of the yeast vacuole
A putative plasma membrane sphingolipid sensor Nce102 migrates to the vacuole upon gradual ageing of a yeast culture, when sphingolipid demand increases. Within the vacuolar membrane it stably localizes to V-ATPase-poor, i.e., ergosterol-enriched, domains, analogous to its plasma membrane localization. Together with its homologue Fhn1, Nce102 modulates size and shape of membrane domains, dynamics of vacuole fusion, and stability of the V-ATPase.
Increasing Nce102 amount and vacuole localization with culture age. Bar: 5µm (A); Changes in vacuole morphology in nce102Δ and fhn1Δ mutants. Bar: 5µm (B);Western blot analysis of increased degradation of Vph1-GFP (V-ATPase subunit) in nce102Δ, fhn1Δ and nce102Δfhn1Δ (C); Electron micrograph of a freeze-fracture replica with proposed trajectory of Nce102 protein migration in an ageing culture. Bar: 300 nm (D).

Regulation of mRNA decay at the plasma membrane
Evolutionarily conserved 5´-3´exoribonuclease Xrn1 binds to eisosome
under conditions of glucose deprivation. Association of Xrn1 with the plasma membrane represents a novel mechanism of the mRNA decay regulation. Subcellular Xrn1 localization also reflects the nutrient supply and metabolic differentiation within the yeast colony. Central section of the whole 5 days old colony of S. cerevisiae expressing Xrn1-GFP (A), stratification of specific Xrn1-GFP patterns (B), and large magnification details (C) of cells showing Xrn1 distributed in cytosol (1), accumulated in P-bodies (2) and associated with eisosome (3) are presented. Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) analysis revealed that in contrast to P-body binding, the enzyme association with the plasma membrane at eisosome is stable in time (D). Bars: 300 μm (A), 10 μm (C).
