Regulation of Zebrafish Hatching by Tetraspanin cd63
Tetraspanins cause the clustering of membrane proteins into a level of organisation essential for cellular function. Given the importance and complicated nature of this mechanism, we attempted a novel approach to identify the function of a single component in a biologically relevant context. A morpholino knockdown strategy was used to investigate the role of cd63, a membrane protein associated ...
متن کاملThe effects of Artemisia deserti ethanolic extract on pathology and function of rat kidney
Objectives: Medicinal plants played an important role in human health. The kidney is a major organ for elimination the additional materials of body. Some of metabolic waste products are excreted through the kidneys, give us useful information about kidney health. Therefore, the aim of this research was to study the effects of A. deserti flowering tips extract on kidney. Materials and Methods: T...
متن کاملTetraspanin CD63 is a regulator of HIV-1 replication.
Macrophages and CD4(+) T-cells are the major reservoirs for HIV-1 infection. CD63 is a tetraspanin transmembrane protein, which has been shown to play an essential role during HIV-1 replication in macrophages. In this study, we further confirm the requirement of CD63 in HIV-1 replication events in primary human CD4(+) T-cells, dendritic cells, and a CD4(+) cell line. Most interestingly, we also...
متن کاملTranslocation of the tetraspanin CD63 in association with human eosinophil mediator release.
The tetraspanin CD63 (also known as LAMP-3) has been implicated in phagocytic and intracellular lysosome-phagosome fusion events. It is also present in eosinophils, with predominant expression on crystalloid granule membrane. However, its role in eosinophil function is obscure. We hypothesized that CD63 is associated with intracellular events involved in eosinophil activation and mediator relea...
متن کاملEffect of potassium deficiency on mouse kidney lysosomal enzymes.
Mice of inbred strains A/J, C57BL/6J and C57BL/6J beige were kept on a K+-deficient diet for up to 40 days to determine the magnitude and mechanism of changes in tissue lysosomal enzymes. From days 10 to 40 glucuronidase activity increased 3-fold in kidney of K+-deficient mice, but there was little effect on beta-galactosidase or acid phosphatase activity. Similar increases in kidney glucuronid...
