Aluminum fluoride stimulates surface protrusions in cells overexpressing the ARF6 GTPase
To study the effector function of the ADP- ribosylation factor (ARF) 6 GTP-binding protein, we transfected HeLa cells with wild-type, epitope-tagged ARF6. Previously shown to indirectly activate the ARF1 GTPase, aluminum fluoride (AIF) treatment of ARF6-transfected cells resulted in a redistribution of both ARF6 and actin to discrete sites on the plasma membrane, which became increasingly protr...
متن کاملADP-Ribosylation Factor 6 Regulates a Novel Plasma Membrane Recycling Pathway
ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) 6 localizes to the plasma membrane (PM) in its GTP state and to a tubulovesicular compartment in its GDP state in HeLa cells that express wild-type or mutant forms of this GTPase. Aluminum fluoride (AlF) treatment of ARF6-transfected cells redistributes ARF6 to the PM and stimulates the formation of actin-rich surface protrusions. Here we show that cytochalasin D (...
متن کاملThe small GTPase Arf6 regulates sea urchin morphogenesis.
The small GTPase Arf6 is a conserved protein that is expressed in all metazoans. Arf6 remodels cytoskeletal actin and mediates membrane protein trafficking between the plasma membrane in its active form and endosomal compartments in its inactive form. While a rich knowledge exists for the cellular functions of Arf6, relatively little is known about its physiological role in development. This st...
متن کاملRadiofluorination using aluminum-fluoride (Al18F)
Targeted agents are increasingly used for treating cancer and other diseases, but patients may need to be carefully selected to maximize the potential for therapeutic benefit. One way to select patients is to bind an imaging radionuclide to a targeting agent of interest, so that its uptake in specific sites of disease can be visualized by positron-emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emis...
متن کاملAlterations in the Arf6-regulated plasma membrane endosomal recycling pathway in cells overexpressing the tetraspan protein Gas3/PMP22.
Growth arrest specific 3 (Gas3)/peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) is a component of the compact peripheral nerve myelin, and mutations affecting gas3/PMP22 gene are responsible for a group of peripheral neuropathies in humans. We have performed in vivo imaging in order to investigate in detail the phenotype induced by Gas3/PMP22 overexpression in cultured cells. Here we show that Gas3/PMP22 ...
