Mechanisms of Membrane Curvature Generation in Membrane Traffic
During the vesicular trafficking process, cellular membranes undergo dynamic morphological changes, in particular at the vesicle generation and fusion steps. Changes in membrane shape are regulated by small GTPases, coat proteins and other accessory proteins, such as BAR domain-containing proteins. In addition, membrane deformation entails changes in the lipid composition as well as asymmetric ...
متن کاملO-8: Molecular Mechanisms of Membrane Fusion Involved in Fertilization
Background: Assisted fertilization procedures are a currently widespread practice to regulate reproduction in humans and animals. The arising question is why the human being manipulating gametes to generate new individuals, if we do not understand yet the molecular mechanism of fertilization?. Successful completion of fertilization in mammals is dependent on three membrane fusion events: 1. the...
متن کاملStructural mechanisms for regulation of membrane traffic by rab GTPases.
In all eukaryotic organisms, Rab GTPases function as critical regulators of membrane traffic, organelle biogenesis and maturation, and related cellular processes. The numerous Rab proteins have distinctive yet overlapping subcellular distributions throughout the endomembrane system. Intensive investigation has clarified the underlying molecular and structural mechanisms for several ubiquitous R...
متن کاملSmall GTPases: Mechanisms Linking Membrane Traffic to Cytoskeleton During Neuritogenesis
During neurite extension, the protrusive activity of the neuronal growth cone is mediated by the coordination of membrane traffic, adhesion to the cell substrate, and reorganization of the cytoskeleton that includes the dynamic rearrangement of actin filaments at the peripheral region of the growth cone. The small GTPases of the Rho family are important regulators of the actin cytoskeleton (Hal...
متن کاملMembrane traffic in anaglyph stereo.
Anaglyphs are stereoscopic image-pairs that are projected through a single optical path and rely on optical filters to separate left and right eye views. In the figures, each image represents digital camera-copy of transmission electron micrographs taken at 910° of specimen tilt, using a standard side-entry goniometer on a transmission electron microscope. Anaglyphs can also be produced today b...
