GRASP: A Multitasking Tether
Originally identified as Golgi stacking factors in vitro, the Golgi reassembly stacking protein (GRASP) family has been shown to act as membrane tethers with multiple cellular roles. As an update to previous comprehensive reviews of the GRASP family (Giuliani et al., 2011; Vinke et al., 2011; Jarvela and Linstedt, 2012), we outline here the latest findings concerning their diverse roles. New in...
متن کاملSox2: A multitasking networker
The transcription factor Sox2 is best known as a pluripotency factor in stem and precursor cells and its expression generally correlates with an undifferentiated state. Proposed modes of action include those as classical transcription factor and pre-patterning factor with influence on histone modifications and chromatin structure. Recently, we provided the first detailed analysis of Sox2 expres...
متن کاملMelatonin: a multitasking molecule.
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) has revealed itself as an ubiquitously distributed and functionally diverse molecule. The mechanisms that control its synthesis within the pineal gland have been well characterized and the retinal and biological clock processes that modulate the circadian production of melatonin in the pineal gland are rapidly being unravelled. A feature that characteriz...
متن کاملTether before synapse
Tether before synapse C hemokines are captured on the surface of dendritic cells in lymph nodes, and they in turn capture T cells, say Rachel Friedman, Jordan Jacobelli, and Matthew Krummel (University of California, San Francisco, CA). The tethered T cells continue to search for a site worthy of a full immunological synapse, which they can form with either the same or another antigen-presentin...
متن کاملSedimentation-induced tether on a settling vesicle.
Destabilization of soft interfaces into thin cylindrical filaments under external stresses is ubiquitous and is generally the first step toward breakup. We show that such filaments, called tethers, emerge from a vesicle subjected to gravity. Contrary to the pendant drop experiment, we demonstrate that the bending rigidity, a specific membrane property of vesicles, ensures the tethers reach a st...
