Attachment of Rod-Like (BAR) Proteins and Membrane Shape
Previous studies have shown that cellular function depends on rod-like membrane proteins, among them Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) proteins may curve the membrane leading to physiologically important membrane invaginations and membrane protrusions. The membrane shaping induced by BAR proteins has a major role in various biological processes such as cell motility and cell growth. Different models of...
متن کاملF-BAR proteins of the syndapin family shape the plasma membrane and are crucial for neuromorphogenesis.
Coordinated functions of the actin cytoskeleton and microtubules, which require careful control in time and space, are indispensable for the drastic alterations of neuronal morphology during neuromorphogenesis and neuronal network formation. Actin filament formation driven by the Arp2/3 complex and its activator neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASP) is important for proper axon devel...
متن کاملAttachment of oral bacteria to a basement-membrane-like matrix and to purified matrix proteins.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the adherence of oral bacteria to an in vitro basement-membrane-like matrix and to selected individual macromolecular constituents of this matrix. Radiolabeled bacteria were incubated with basement-membrane-like matrices isolated from PF HR-9 cells. Bacteroides gingivalis 33277, Fusobacterium nucleatum FN-2, and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans G...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms of Membrane Deformation by I-BAR Domain Proteins
BACKGROUND Generation of membrane curvature is critical for the formation of plasma membrane protrusions and invaginations and for shaping intracellular organelles. Among the central regulators of membrane dynamics are the BAR superfamily domains, which deform membranes into tubular structures. In contrast to the relatively well characterized BAR and F-BAR domains that promote the formation of ...
متن کاملOn the role of membrane anisotropy and BAR proteins in the stability of tubular membrane structures.
Recent studies have demonstrated that actin filaments are not crucial for the short-term stability of tubular membrane protrusions originating from the cell surface. It has also been demonstrated that prominin nanodomains and curvature inducing I-BAR proteins could account for the stability of the membrane protrusion. Here we constructed an axisymmetric model of a membrane protrusion that exclu...
