Heterotrimeric C proteins: Organizers of transmembrane signals
Hundreds of chemical and physical signals constantly bombard the surface of all cells. Some of these do not enter the cell but, instead, bind to receptors at the cell surface and initiate a flow of information that moves to the cell interior. The receptors for many hormones (such as catecholamines, gonadotropins, parathyroid hormone, and glucagon), odorants, and light span the membrane seven ti...
متن کاملHeterotrimeric G proteins in C. elegans.
Heterotrimeric G proteins, composed of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits, are able to transduce signals from membrane receptors to a wide variety of intracellular effectors. In this role, G proteins effectively function as dimers since the signal is communicated either by the G alpha subunit or the stable G betagamma complex. When inactive, G alpha-GDP associates with G betagamma and the cytoplas...
متن کاملSignals for sorting of transmembrane proteins to endosomes and lysosomes.
Sorting of transmembrane proteins to endosomes and lysosomes is mediated by signals present within the cytosolic domains of the proteins. Most signals consist of short, linear sequences of amino acid residues. Some signals are referred to as tyrosine-based sorting signals and conform to the NPXY or YXXO consensus motifs. Other signals known as dileucine-based signals fit [DE]XXXL[LI] or DXXLL c...
متن کاملTetraspanins and Transmembrane Adaptor Proteins As Plasma Membrane Organizers—Mast Cell Case
The plasma membrane contains diverse and specialized membrane domains, which include tetraspanin-enriched domains (TEMs) and transmembrane adaptor protein (TRAP)-enriched domains. Recent biophysical, microscopic, and functional studies indicated that TEMs and TRAP-enriched domains are involved in compartmentalization of physicochemical events of such important processes as immunoreceptor signal...
متن کاملActin cytoskeleton: Are FH proteins local organizers?
The FH proteins, defined by the presence of 'formin homology' regions, are important for a number of actin-dependent processes, including polarized cell growth and cytokinesis. They are large, probably multi-domain, proteins and their function may be in part mediated by an interaction with profilin.
