Septins promote macropinosome maturation and traffic to the lysosome by facilitating membrane fusion
Macropinocytosis, the internalization of extracellular fluid and material by plasma membrane ruffles, is critical for antigen presentation, cell metabolism, and signaling. Macropinosomes mature through homotypic and heterotypic fusion with endosomes and ultimately merge with lysosomes. The molecular underpinnings of this clathrin-independent endocytic pathway are largely unknown. Here, we show ...
متن کاملRAB26 coordinates lysosome traffic and mitochondrial localization.
As they mature, professional secretory cells like pancreatic acinar and gastric chief cells induce the transcription factor MIST1 (also known as BHLHA15) to substantially scale up production of large secretory granules in a process that involves expansion of apical cytoplasm and redistribution of lysosomes and mitochondria. How a scaling factor like MIST1 rearranges cellular architecture simply...
متن کاملCholesterol Transport through Lysosome-Peroxisome Membrane Contacts
Cholesterol is dynamically transported among organelles, which is essential for multiple cellular functions. However, the mechanism underlying intracellular cholesterol transport has remained largely unknown. We established an amphotericin B-based assay enabling a genome-wide shRNA screen for delayed LDL-cholesterol transport and identified 341 hits with particular enrichment of peroxisome gene...
متن کاملPassive diffusion of non-electrolytes across the lysosome membrane.
An osmotic-protection method has been used to study the permeability of rat liver lysosomes to 43 organic non-electrolytes of formula weights ranging from 62 to 1000. A lysosome-rich centrifugal fraction of rat liver homogenate was resuspended in an unbuffered 0.25 M solution of test solute, pH 7.0, and incubated at 25 degrees C for 60 min. The free and total activities of 4-methylumbelliferyl ...
متن کاملCatching IP Traffic Burstiness with a Lightweight Generator
This paper presents LiTGen, an easy to use and tune openloop traffic generator that statistically models IP traffic on a per user and application basis. From a packet level capture originating in an ISP wireless network, and taking the example of Web traffic, we show that the simple underlying structure of LiTGen is sufficient to reproduce the traffic burstiness accurately. In addition, the fle...
