Cytoskeleton-Secretory Vesicle Interactions
Stationary-phase cells of Paramecium tetraurelia have most of their many secretory vesicles ("trichocysts") attached to the cell surface. Log-phase cells contain numerous unoccuFiied potential docking sites for trichocysts and many free trichocysts in the cytoplasm. To study the possible involvement of cytoskeletal elements, notably of microtubules, in the process of positioning of trichocysts ...
متن کاملSynaptic vesicle transporter expression regulates vesicle phenotype and quantal size.
While the transporters that accumulate classical neurotransmitters in synaptic vesicles have been identified, little is known about how their expression regulates synaptic transmission. We have used adenoviral-mediated transfection to increase expression of the brain vesicular monoamine transporter VMAT2 and presynaptic amperometric recordings to characterize the effects on quantal release. In ...
متن کاملVesicle Size Distribution as a Novel Nuclear Forensics Tool
The first nuclear bomb detonation on Earth involved a plutonium implosion-type device exploded at the Trinity test site (33°40'38.28″N, 106°28'31.44″W), White Sands Proving Grounds, near Alamogordo, New Mexico. Melting and subsequent quenching of the local arkosic sand produced glassy material, designated "Trinitite". In cross section, Trinitite comprises a thin (1-2 mm), primarily glassy surfa...
متن کاملComplexes comprised of a dendrimer and a vesicle: role of vesicle size and the surface tension of the vesicle membrane.
Mesoscale simulations are performed to study the complexes between a dendrimer and a vesicle of amphiphilic molecules. In particular, the assembled structures and dynamics of these complexes are investigated by tuning vesicle size and the surface tension of vesicle membrane. Our simulations demonstrate that a dendrimer-based bulge containing amphiphilic molecules forms in the vesicle membrane w...
متن کاملThe Vesicle Priming Factor CAPS Functions as a Homodimer via C2 Domain Interactions to Promote Regulated Vesicle Exocytosis*
Neurotransmitters and peptide hormones are secreted by regulated vesicle exocytosis. CAPS (also known as CADPS) is a 145-kDa cytosolic and peripheral membrane protein required for vesicle docking and priming steps that precede Ca2+-triggered vesicle exocytosis. CAPS binds phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) and SNARE proteins and is proposed to promote SNARE protein complex assemb...
