SNX12 Role in Endosome Membrane Transport
In this paper, we investigated the role of sorting nexin 12 (SNX12) in the endocytic pathway. SNX12 is a member of the PX domain-containing sorting nexin family and shares high homology with SNX3, which plays a central role in the formation of intralumenal vesicles within multivesicular endosomes. We found that SNX12 is expressed at very low levels compared to SNX3. SNX12 is primarily associate...
متن کاملRole of ubiquitylation in cellular membrane transport.
Ubiquitylation of membrane proteins has gained considerable interest in recent years. It has been recognized as a signal that negatively regulates the cell surface expression of many plasma membrane proteins both in yeast and in mammalian cells. Moreover, it is also involved in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation of membrane proteins, and it acts as a sorting signal both in the secreto...
متن کاملOptimizing Diffusive Transport Through a Synthetic Membrane Channel
Position x P1 P2 P3 Transport of ions, [ 1 , 2 ] proteins, [ 3 ] antibiotics [ 4 , 5 ] and other macromolecular solutes through channels and pores is ubiquitous in nature. In particular channel-facilitated diffusion relies on optimized binding sites for the transported particles inside the channel. [ 6 ] Well characterized examples include membrane channels such as maltoporins [ 7 , 8 ] or aqua...
متن کاملOptimizing stellarators for turbulent transport.
Up to now, the term "transport-optimized" stellarators has meant optimized to minimize neoclassical transport, while the task of also mitigating turbulent transport, usually the dominant transport channel in such designs, has not been addressed, due to the complexity of plasma turbulence in stellarators. Here, we demonstrate that stellarators can also be designed to mitigate their turbulent tra...
متن کاملSelective transport of monoamine neurotransmitters by human plasma membrane monoamine transporter and organic cation transporter 3.
The plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT) and organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3) are the two most prominent low-affinity, high-capacity (i.e., uptake(2)) transporters for endogenous biogenic amines. Using the Flp-in system, we expressed human PMAT (hPMAT) and human OCT3 (hOCT3) at similar levels in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. Parallel and detailed kinetics analysis revealed distin...
