Myosin 1 controls membrane shape by coupling F-Actin to membrane
Cellular functions are intimately associated with rapid changes in membrane shape. Different mechanisms interfering with the lipid bilayer, such as the insertion of proteins with amphipatic helices or the association of a protein scaffold, trigger membrane bending. By exerting force on membranes, molecular motors can also contribute to membrane remodeling. Previous studies have shown that actin...
متن کاملActin-interacting protein 1 controls assembly and permeability of intestinal epithelial apical junctions.
Adherens junctions (AJs) and tight junctions (TJs) are crucial regulators of the integrity and restitution of the intestinal epithelial barrier. The structure and function of epithelial junctions depend on their association with the cortical actin cytoskeleton that, in polarized epithelial cells, is represented by a prominent perijunctional actomyosin belt. The assembly and stability of the per...
متن کاملErythrocyte Membrane Cation Permeability
A B S T R A C T Cetiedil has been reported to relieve painful crises in sickle cell anemia and to have antisickling properties in vitro. The drug alters neither oxygen affinity nor the solubility of deoxyhemoglobin S. Because the viscosity of the erythrocyte interior and the kinetics ofgelation are dependent on the concentration of hemoglobin, we postulated that cetiedil might inhibit sickling ...
متن کاملPermeability Modulating Membrane Coats
Many protozoans and some other organisms possess contractile vacuoles (CVs), membranous organelles which help maintain cellular water/ electrolyte balance by extracting a dilute solution from the cytoplasmic colloid and expelling it from the cell (35, 37). Although the similarity of CV function in the various organisms has long been recognized, the expected similarity of morphological elements ...
