Intracellular sterol transport and distribution.
Sterols are important components of many biological membranes, and changes in sterol levels can have dramatic effects on membrane properties. Sterols are transported rapidly between cellular organelles by vesicular and nonvesicular processes. Recent studies have identified transmembrane proteins that facilitate the removal of sterols from membranes as well as soluble cytoplasmic proteins that p...
متن کاملIntracellular sterol transport in eukaryotes, a connection to mitochondrial function?
Eukaryotic cells synthesize sterols in the endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) from where it needs to be efficiently transported to the plasma membrane, which harbors approximately 90% of the free sterol pool of the cell. Sterols that are being taken up from the environment, on the other hand, are transported back from the plasma membrane to the ER, where the free sterols are esterified to steryl este...
متن کاملBDI-Modelling of Intracellular Dynamics
Existing chemical models of bacteria are complicated, due to the thousands of interacting chemical reactions within the cell. To gain a higher level of understanding, more transparent and abstract models are needed. In this paper an intentional dynamic modelling approach is introduced and used to simulate the behaviour of Escherichia coli. A model of the entire cell is presented that covers E. ...
متن کاملIntracellular dynamics of HIV infection.
Early studies of HIV infection dynamics suggested that virus-producing HIV-infected cells had an average half-life of approximately 1 day. However, whether this average behavior is reflective of the dynamics of individual infected cells is unclear. Here, we use HIV-enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) constructs and flow cytometry sorting to explore the dynamics of cell infection, viral pr...
متن کاملIntracellular Ca dynamics in ventricular fibrillation.
In the heart, membrane voltage (Vm) and intracellular Ca (Cai) are bidirectionally coupled, so that ionic membrane currents regulate Cai cycling and Cai affects ionic currents regulating action potential duration (APD). Although Cai reliably and consistently tracks Vm at normal heart rates, it is possible that at very rapid rates, sarcoplasmic reticulum Cai cycling may exhibit intrinsic dynamic...
