Plasma Membrane Mechanical Stress Activates TRPC5 Channels
Mechanical forces exerted on cells impose stress on the plasma membrane. Cells sense this stress and elicit a mechanoelectric transduction cascade that initiates compensatory mechanisms. Mechanosensitive ion channels in the plasma membrane are responsible for transducing the mechanical signals to electrical signals. However, the mechanisms underlying channel activation in response to mechanical...

متن کاملArfs and membrane lipids: sensing, generating and responding to membrane curvature.
Arf family GTP-binding proteins function in the regulation of membrane-trafficking events and in the maintenance of organelle structure. They act at membrane surfaces to modify lipid composition and to recruit coat proteins for the generation of transport vesicles. Arfs associate with membranes through insertion of an N-terminal myristoyl moiety in conjunction with an adjacent amphipathic alpha...
