Munc18‐2 is required for Syntaxin 11 Localization on the Plasma Membrane in Cytotoxic T‐Lymphocytes
Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) kill their targets by cytolytic granule secretion at the immunological synapse. The Sec/Munc protein, Munc18-2, and its binding partner Syntaxin 11 (STX11) are both required for granule secretion, with mutations in either leading to the primary immunodeficiency, Familial Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (FHL4 and 5). Understanding how Munc18-2 and STX11 function...
متن کاملReduced plasma membrane expression of dysferlin mutants is attributed to accelerated endocytosis via a syntaxin-4-associated pathway.
Ferlins are an ancient family of C2 domain-containing proteins, with emerging roles in vesicular trafficking and human disease. Dysferlin mutations cause inherited muscular dystrophy, and dysferlin also shows abnormal plasma membrane expression in other forms of muscular dystrophy. We establish dysferlin as a short-lived (protein half-life approximately 4-6 h) and transitory transmembrane prote...
متن کاملThe SNARE motif is essential for the formation of syntaxin clusters in the plasma membrane.
In the plasma membrane, syntaxin 1 and syntaxin 4 clusters define sites at which secretory granules and caveolae fuse, respectively. It is widely believed that lipid phases are mandatory for cluster formation, as cluster integrity depends on cholesterol. Here we report that the native lipid environment is not sufficient for correct syntaxin 1 clustering and that additional cytoplasmic protein-p...
متن کاملMetastasis-associated 5T4 oncofoetal antigen is concentrated at microvillus projections of the plasma membrane.
The 5T4 oncofoetal antigen is a 72 kDa glycoprotein defined by a monoclonal antibody raised against human placental trophoblast and is expressed in many different carcinomas but detected only at low levels in some normal epithelia. Immunohistochemical analysis of the patterns of expression in colorectal carcinomas has indicated a significant association between the presence of the antigen in tu...
متن کاملSyntaxins 3 and 4 are concentrated in separate clusters on the plasma membrane before the establishment of cell polarity.
Syntaxins 3 and 4 localize to the apical and basolateral plasma membrane, respectively, of epithelial cells where they mediate vesicle fusion. Here, we report that before establishment of cell polarity, syntaxins 3 and 4 are confined to mutually exclusive, submicron-sized clusters. Syntaxin clusters are remarkably uniform in size, independent of expression levels, and are distinct from caveolae...
