Protein palmitoylation in membrane trafficking
Introduction Protein palmitoylation was first described more than 20 years ago for the myelin proteolipid protein, but the functional significance of this post-translational modification remains obscure. Progress has been hampered by the lack of specific inhibitors for acylation and because of the difficulty of developing an assay to isolate the palmitoylating enzyme(s). Palmitoylation generall...
متن کاملProbing phosphoinositide functions in signaling and membrane trafficking.
The inositol phospholipids (PIs) comprise a family of eight species with different combinations of phosphate groups arranged around the inositol ring. PIs are among the most versatile signaling molecules known, with key roles in receptor-mediated signal transduction, actin remodeling and membrane trafficking. Recent studies have identified effector proteins and specific lipid-binding domains th...
متن کاملEffects of PS1 Deficiency on Membrane Protein Trafficking in Neurons
We have examined the trafficking and metabolism of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP), an APP homolog (APLP1), and TrkB in neurons that lack PS1. We report that PS1-deficient neurons fail to secrete Abeta, and that the rate of appearance of soluble APP derivatives in the conditioned medium is increased. Remarkably, carboxyl-terminal fragments (CTFs) derived from APP and APLP1 accumulate i...
متن کاملAssembly of urothelial plaques: tetraspanin function in membrane protein trafficking.
The apical surface of mammalian urothelium is covered by 16-nm protein particles packed hexagonally to form 2D crystals of asymmetric unit membranes (AUM) that contribute to the remarkable permeability barrier function of the urinary bladder. We have shown previously that bovine AUMs contain four major integral membrane proteins, i.e., uroplakins Ia, Ib, II, and IIIa, and that UPIa and Ib (both...
متن کاملProbing the energy landscape of the membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin.
The folding and stability of transmembrane proteins is a fundamental and unsolved biological problem. Here, single bacteriorhodopsin molecules were mechanically unfolded from native purple membranes using atomic force microscopy and force spectroscopy. The energy landscape of individual transmembrane alpha helices and polypeptide loops was mapped by monitoring the pulling speed dependence of th...
