Cytoskeletal Association Is Important for Differential Targeting of Glucose Transporter Isoforms in Leishmania
The major glucose transporter of the parasitic protozoan Leishmania enriettii exists in two isoforms, one of which (iso-1) localizes to the flagellar membrane, while the other (iso-2) localizes to the plasma membrane of the cell body, the pellicular membrane. These two isoforms differ only in their cytosolic NH2-terminal domains. Using immunoblots and immunofluorescence microscopy of detergent-...
متن کاملDifferential targeting of two glucose transporters from Leishmania enriettii is mediated by an NH2-terminal domain
Leishmania are parasitic protozoa with two major stages in their life cycle: flagellated promastigotes that live in the gut of the insect vector and nonflagellated amastigotes that live inside the lysosomes of the vertebrate host macrophages. The Pro-1 glucose transporter of L. enriettii exists as two isoforms, iso-1 and iso-2, which are both expressed primarily in the promastigote stage of the...
متن کاملGenetic characterization of glucose transporter function in Leishmania mexicana.
Both insect and mammalian life cycle stages of Leishmania mexicana take up glucose and express all three isoforms encoded by the LmGT glucose transporter gene family. To evaluate glucose transporter function in intact parasites, a null mutant line has been created by targeted disruption of the LmGT locus that encompasses the LmGT1, LmGT2, and LmGT3 genes. This deltalmgt null mutant exhibited no...
متن کاملIdentification of the carboxy terminus as important for the isoform- specific subcellular targeting of glucose transporter proteins
Differential trafficking of glucose transporters contributes significantly to the establishment of a cell's capacity for hormone-regulatable hexose uptake. In the true insulin-sensitive peripheral target tissues, muscle and adipose, the transporter isoform GLUT1 residues on the cell surface and interior of the cell whereas the highly homologous isoform GLUT4 displays virtually exclusive intrace...
متن کاملexpression of glucose transporter 4 (glut4) is increased by cinnamaldehyde in c2c12 mouse muscle cells
background: in diabetes mellitus because of the absence or insufficient sensitivity to insulin, glucose transporter protein in cell membrane, glucose transporter 4, is decreased. glut4 is the major glucose transporter in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, which is under control of insulin. it remains, however, unclear whether cinnamaldehyde plays a regulatory role(s) or not. objectives: the ob...
