Membranes and sorting
Can we say with confidence that we have gained a good understanding of the fundamental molecular principles of intracellular transport? Undoubtedly, progress has been enormous in the past years and concepts have emerged which explain the biochemical properties of several important factors of the trafficking machinery. Nevertheless, judging from the number of new molecules that are being discove...
متن کاملSorting out Toll Signals
Upon recognition of microbial products, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recruit distinct combinations of adaptors to induce TLR-specific gene expression. In this issue, Kagan and Medzhitov (2006) demonstrate that the adaptor TIRAP/Mal localizes to the plasma membrane by binding to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). This binding recruits a key adaptor MyD88 to TLR4, suggesting that there i...
متن کاملMembranes and their Cellular Function
shackles imposed by the conventional wisdom that ‘the proper study of mankind is man’. They were less successful in convincing this reviewer that any of the model systems discussed in the book were currently pertinent to the practising clinical psychiatrist. Nevertheless, the book justifies the claim that model systems in this difficult field have a future, and much of the work is scientificall...
متن کاملMoving Signals and Molecules Through Membranes
The assembly of the photosynthetic anparatus requires the translocation of numerous pr&ms from the cytosol, initially into the stronra and thereafter into or across the thylakoid membrane. Recent studies have shown that proteins are transported into this membrane by a variety of mechanisms, some of which are derived from a cyanobacterial-type ancestor, whereas others have evolved in response to...
متن کاملEvidence for tubulin-binding sites on cellular membranes: plasma membranes, mitochondrial membranes, and secretory granule membranes
We describe the interaction of pure brain tubulin with purified membranes specialized in different cell functions, i.e., plasma membranes and mitochondrial membranes from liver and secretory granule membranes from adrenal medulla. We studied the tubulin-binding activity of cellular membranes using a radiolabeled ligand-receptor assay and an antibody retention assay. The tubulin-membrane interac...
