VIROLOGY: Hitchhiking in Membrane Traffic

Membrane 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...

Phosphoinositides in constitutive membrane traffic.

Proteins that make, consume, and bind to phosphoinositides are important for constitutive membrane traffic. Different phosphoinositides are concentrated in different parts of the central vacuolar pathway, with phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate predominate on Golgi, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate predominate at the plasma membrane, phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate the major phosphoinositid...

Unsolved mysteries in membrane traffic.

Remarkable strides have been made over the past 20 years in elucidating the molecular basis of membrane trafficking. Indeed, a combination of biochemical and genetic approaches have determined the identity and function of many of the core constituents needed for protein secretion and endocytosis. But much remains to be learned. This review highlights underlying themes in membrane traffic to hel...

Virology

This volume of the Handbook of Behavioral Neurobiology contains a wealth of information on the neural control of movement. Overall, the approach of the authors is to stress basic experimental data. Therefore, the book will be an excellent reference source for basic scientists as well as clinicians. The first chapters of the book examine the role of muscle in movement. These chapters discuss rec...
