Endocytosis and signaling: cell logistics shape the eukaryotic cell plan.
Our understanding of endocytosis has evolved remarkably in little more than a decade. This is the result not only of advances in our knowledge of its molecular and biological workings, but also of a true paradigm shift in our understanding of what really constitutes endocytosis and of its role in homeostasis. Although endocytosis was initially discovered and studied as a relatively simple proce...
متن کاملEndocytosis Conducts the Cell Signaling Orchestra
Endocytosis is used by eukaryotic cells to regulate nutrient internalization, signal transduction, and the composition of the plasma membrane. However, a more complex picture is emerging, in which endocytic pathways integrate diverse signals, thereby contributing to a higher level of cellular and organismal organization. In this way, endocytosis and cell signaling are intertwined in many biolog...
متن کاملCell adhesion defines the topology of endocytosis and signaling.
Preferred sites of endocytosis have been observed in various cell types, but whether they occur randomly or are linked to cellular cues is debated. Here, we quantified the sites of endocytosis of transferrin (Tfn) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in cells whose adhesion geometry was defined by micropatterns. 3D probabilistic density maps revealed that Tfn was enriched in adhesive sites during ...
متن کاملSignaling memory from cell shape
he shape of cells controls the speed and duration of signaling and can maintain short-term signaling memory in cellular subdomains, report Craske et al. on page 1147. In response to stimulation, signaling molecules move through cells to newly available binding sites at a rate consistent with random diffusion. In round cells, such diffusible signals reach different regions of the membrane at nea...
متن کاملCoxsackievirus B3 protease 3C induces cell death in eukaryotic cells
Abstract: Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is the most common agent known to cause viral myocarditis. The viral genome encodes a single polyprotein that is cleaved to produce several proteins by virally encoded proteases. Most of this proteolytic processing is catalyzed by a cysteine protease called 3C. The 3C protease plays major role in viral replication and cellular damage. To understand the mecha...
