Asymmetric localization of the membrane-associated Numb protein is a primary mechanism for restricting Notch signaling
The development of the external sensory organs in the adult Drosophila notum begins with the formation of sensory organ precursors (SOP) in the wing disc epithelium. The SOP divides along the anteroposterior (AP) axis to produce the IIa and IIb secondary precursors; the posterior IIa cell generates the external socket (tormogen) and hair (trichogen) cells, while the anterior IIb cell gives rise...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanism of Membrane Protein Integration into the Endoplasmic Reticulum
As proteins are integrated into the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, some hydrophilic polypeptide segments are transported through the translocation channel, others remain in the cytosol, and hydrophobic transmembrane sequences are released into the lipid phase. We have addressed the molecular mechanism by which these events occur. We demonstrate that both the lumenal and the cytosolic do...
متن کاملMolecular mechanism of ligand recognition by membrane transport protein, Mhp1
The hydantoin transporter Mhp1 is a sodium-coupled secondary active transport protein of the nucleobase-cation-symport family and a member of the widespread 5-helix inverted repeat superfamily of transporters. The structure of Mhp1 was previously solved in three different conformations providing insight into the molecular basis of the alternating access mechanism. Here, we elucidate detailed ev...
متن کاملProtein interactions and membrane geometry.
The difficulty in growing crystals for x-ray diffraction analysis has hindered the determination of membrane protein structures. However, this is changing with the advent of a new method for growing high quality membrane protein crystals from the lipidic cubic phase. Although successful, the mechanism underlying this method has remained unclear. Here, we present a theoretical analysis of the pr...
متن کاملA mechanism for polar protein localization in bacteria.
We investigate a mechanism for the polar localization of proteins in bacteria. We focus on the MinCD/DivIVA system regulating division site placement in the rod-shaped bacterium Bacillus subtilis. Our model relies on a combination of geometric effects and reaction-diffusion dynamics to direct proteins to both cell poles, where division is then blocked. We discuss similarities and differences wi...
