1 A 40% cholesterol depletion of DRM caused the loss of 52% of the P-gp ATPase activity. Cholesterol ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 Homo sapiens
2 Cholesterol repletion allowed recovery of the initial P-gp ATPase activity. Cholesterol ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 Homo sapiens
3 In contrast, in the solubilized-membrane-containing fractions, cholesterol depletion and repletion had no effect on the P-gp ATPase activity whereas up to 100% saturation with cholesterol induced a 58% increased P-gp ATPase activity, while no significant modification was observed for the DRM-enriched fraction. Cholesterol ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 Homo sapiens
4 DRMs were analysed by atomic force microscopy: 40-60% cholesterol depletion was necessary to remove P-gp from DRMs. Cholesterol ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 Homo sapiens
5 In conclusion, P-gp in DRMs appears to contain closely surrounding cholesterol that can stimulate P-gp ATPase activity to its optimal value, whereas cholesterol in the second population seems deprived of this function. Cholesterol ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 Homo sapiens
6 In conclusion, P-gp in DRMs appears to contain closely surrounding cholesterol that can stimulate P-gp ATPase activity to its optimal value, whereas cholesterol in the second population seems deprived of this function. Cholesterol ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 Homo sapiens
