Organelle Transport: Mitochondria Hitch a Ride on Dynamic Microtubules

چکیده

questions. Why, for example, did the two analytical approaches taken by Lander et al. [8] (a general linear model and a circuit model) come to opposing conclusions?Whichmechanismsmake one hostile habitat, clear-fells, act as a barrier, while the hostile pine plantations enhanced connectivity? Andhowmight theCirce principle apply to the main pollinator taxon, bees (Hymenoptera: Apiformes), which differ fundamentally in their foraging and movement behavior from the syrphid flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) [20] studiedby Lander et al. [8]? These questions leave plenty of scope for further research.

Nonperturbative chemical imaging of organelle transport in living cells with coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering microscopy.

Nonperturbative monitoring of intracellular organelle transport in unstained living cells was achieved with coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. To avoid possible interference with the organelle transport introduced by laser radiation, we first examined different illumination conditions. Using a new photodamage criterion based on morphological changes of the cells, we determ...

A high molecular mass non-muscle tropomyosin isoform stimulates retrograde organelle transport.

Although non-muscle tropomyosins (TM) have been implicated in various cellular functions, such as stabilization of actin filaments and possibly regulation of organelle transport, their physiological role is still poorly understood. We have probed the role of a high molecular mass isoform of human fibroblast TM, hTM3, in regulating organelle transport by microinjecting an excess amount of bacter...

Organelle movements in the wild type and wall-less fz;sg;os-1 mutants of Neurospora crassa are mediated by cytoplasmic microtubules.

The cellular basis of organelle transport in filamentous fungi is still unresolved. Here we have studied the intracellular movement of mitochondria and other organelles in the fungus Neurospora crassa. Four different model systems were employed: hyphae, protoplasts, a cell wallless mutant, and experimentally generated small, flattened cell fragments of the mutant cells. Organelle movements were...

Mitochondrial positioning in fission yeast is driven by association with dynamic microtubules and mitotic spindle poles.

Microtubules mediate mitochondrial distribution in the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and many higher eukaryotic cells. In higher eukaryotes, kinesin motor proteins have been shown to transport mitochondria along microtubules, but the nature of the mitochondria-microtubule interactions in S. pombe has not been explored. By time lapse, total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, or spinn...

Tumor Necrosis Factor Induces Hyperphosphorylation of Kinesin Light Chain and Inhibits Kinesin-Mediated Transport of Mitochondria

The molecular motor kinesin is an ATPase that mediates plus end-directed transport of organelles along microtubules. Although the biochemical properties of kinesin are extensively studied, conclusive data on regulation of kinesin-mediated transport are largely lacking. Previously, we showed that the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor induces perinuclear clustering of mitochondria. H...
