Correction: A Role for Na+,K+-ATPase α1 in Regulating Rab27a Localisation on Melanosomes
The mechanism(s) by which Rab GTPases are specifically recruited to distinct intracellular membranes remains elusive. Here we used Rab27a localisation onto melanosomes as a model to investigate Rab targeting. We identified the α1 subunit of Na+,K+-ATPase (ATP1a1) as a novel Rab27a interacting protein in melanocytes and showed that this interaction is direct with the intracellular M4M5 loop of A...
متن کاملRab27a Regulates the Peripheral Distribution of Melanosomes in Melanocytes
Rab GTPases are regulators of intracellular membrane traffic. We report a possible function of Rab27a, a protein implicated in several diseases, including Griscelli syndrome, choroideremia, and the Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome mouse model, gunmetal. We studied endogenous Rab27a and overexpressed enhanced GFP-Rab27a fusion protein in several cultured melanocyte and melanoma-derived cell lines. In p...
متن کاملRole of myosin VIIa and Rab27a in the motility and localization of RPE melanosomes.
Myosin VIIa functions in the outer retina, and loss of this function causes human blindness in Usher syndrome type 1B (USH1B). In mice with mutant Myo7a, melanosomes in the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) are distributed abnormally. In this investigation we detected many proteins in RPE cells that could potentially participate in melanosome transport, but of those tested, only myosin VIIa an...
متن کاملRegulation of NaK-ATPase Activity by Neurotransmitters
The hitherto unknown NT-regulated mechanism of NaK-ATPase localized in the nerve ending membranes is found. The mechanism certainly has a functional significance and must be involved in the regulation – modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. On the other hand , the availability of the discovered specific protein, regulators (SFa and SFi) of synaptic origin, makes it possible to consider ...
متن کاملLocalization of NaK ATPase on cultured human retinal pigment epithelium.
PURPOSE To localize NaK ATPase sites on cultured human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). METHODS Cultured human RPE from fetal, 2-year-old, and 21-year-old donors was grown to confluence in microporous culture wells for 4 months to 2 years, mounted in a small-volume Ussing chamber, and perfused with growth medium. Ouabain (10(-5)-M) was applied to the basal and apical sides of the RPE. Change...
