Biochemistry of the Phagocytic Process
whiclh will eventually be publislhed under a single cover. There are eight contributions to the present volume, whiclh provide useful summaries of the work of the various participants. The first paper, "Evidence for a membrane-linked Ca++ carrier in rat liver andI kidlney mitoclhondria," by A. L. Lehninger and E. Carafoli, is unrelated to the others. It concerns the dynamics of Ca++ movements c...

15 صفحه اولMelanin, melanin "ghosts," and melanin composition in Cryptococcus neoformans.
Melanin synthesis is associated with virulence for the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. Exposure of nonmelanized C. neoformans 4067 cells to 4 M guanidinium isothiocyanate followed by 6 M HCl at 100 degrees C resulted in complete solubilization of cellular structures. However, exposure of melanized C. neoformans 24067 to the same conditions produced a suspension of black particles. An...
متن کاملProton transfer: It’s a stringent process
Proton transfer into and out of proteins is important, both for many enzyme reaction mechanisms and proton pumping across membranes. Recent work on several proteins has revealed stringent requirements for amino-acid side chains and subtle reorganisation of hydrogen-bond networks involving bound water molecules.
متن کاملCD44 is a phagocytic receptor.
CD44, a transmembrane adhesion molecule involved in binding and metabolism of hyaluronan, has additional functions in inflammatory and immune responses, contributing to the ingestion and clearance of particles and apoptotic cells. Our goal was to determine the specific role of CD44 in phagocytosis and whether it functions as a primary or accessory phagocytic receptor. Using hyaluronan-coated be...
