Agonist-selective signaling is determined by the receptor location within the membrane domains.
The basis for agonist-selective signaling was investigated by using the mu-opioid receptor (MOR) as a model. In the absence of agonist, MOR located within the lipid raft domains, whereas etorphine, but not morphine, induced the translocation of MOR from lipid raft to nonraft domains, similar to the action of methyl-beta-cyclodextrin. The etorphine-induced MOR translocation required the dissocia...
متن کاملSynchronization of chromosome dynamics and cell division in bacteria.
Bacterial cells have evolved a variety of regulatory circuits that tightly synchronize their chromosome replication and cell division cycles, thereby ensuring faithful transmission of genetic information to their offspring. Complex multicomponent signaling cascades are used to monitor the progress of cytokinesis and couple replication initiation to the separation of the two daughter cells. More...
متن کاملNuclear body movement is determined by chromatin accessibility and dynamics.
Promyelocytic leukemia (PML) and Cajal bodies are mobile subnuclear organelles, which are involved in activities like RNA processing, transcriptional regulation, and antiviral defense. A key parameter in understanding their biological functions is their mobility. The diffusion properties of PML and Cajal bodies were compared with a biochemically inactive body formed by aggregates of murine Mx1 ...
متن کاملThe topogenic fate of the polytopic transmembrane proteins, synaptophysin and connexin, is determined by their membrane-spanning domains.
The synaptophysins and connexins are polytopic transmembrane proteins of similar secondary structure that accumulate as multiple homo-oligomers in specialized membrane regions, the presynaptic transmitter vesicles or gap junctions. Transfection and expression of the respective genes in cultured epithelial cells results in the de novo formation of either small cytoplasmic, synaptophysin-rich ves...
متن کاملOrganization, dynamics, and segregation of Ras nanoclusters in membrane domains.
Recent experiments have shown that membrane-bound Ras proteins form transient, nanoscale signaling platforms that play a crucial role in high-fidelity signal transmission. However, a detailed characterization of these dynamic proteolipid substructures by high-resolution experimental techniques remains elusive. Here we use extensive semiatomic simulations to reveal the molecular basis for the fo...
