Exocytosis—one vesicle at a time
The elusive cell cycle– transcription link cientists have known for years that transcription is repressed as cells enter mitosis, yet the mechanistic bridge between the two processes has eluded detection. Now, Jian Chen, Beat Suter (McGill University, Montreal, Canada), and colleagues find that Xpd, a component of the general transcription factor complex, TFIIH, regulates another member of the ...
متن کاملVesicle fiesta at the synapse.
erve cells need to transfer information to each other, and researchers have been unravelling the secrets of how they do this for decades. Technical advances and human ingenuity have now combined to take us several steps further in this intellectual challenge. With the publication of two reports in this issue 1,2 (pages 849 and 889) and a third in Science 3 , we can actually watch the intricate ...
متن کاملVesicle biomechanics in a time-varying magnetic field
BACKGROUND Cells exhibit distortion when exposed to a strong electric field, suggesting that the field imposes control over cellular biomechanics. Closed pure lipid bilayer membranes (vesicles) have been widely used for the experimental and theoretical studies of cellular biomechanics under this electrodeformation. An alternative method used to generate an electric field is by electromagnetic i...
متن کاملVesicle depletion and synaptic depression at a mammalian ribbon synapse.
We estimated the size of the readily releasable pool (RRP) of vesicles at a ribbon synapse in the rat retina by making paired voltage-clamp recordings from presynaptic rod bipolar cells (RBCs) and postsynaptic AII amacrine cells in an in vitro retinal slice preparation. The RRP at each active zone was estimated to constitute seven vesicles, in the range of estimated RRP sizes at conventional sy...
متن کاملPiccolo Promotes Vesicle Replenishment at a Fast Central Auditory Synapse
Piccolo and Bassoon are the two largest cytomatrix of the active zone (CAZ) proteins involved in scaffolding and regulating neurotransmitter release at presynaptic active zones (AZs), but have long been discussed as being functionally redundant. We employed genetic manipulation to bring forth and segregate the role of Piccolo from that of Bassoon at central auditory synapses of the cochlear nuc...
