Metabolism, Cell Surface Organization, and Disease
Genetic information flows from DNA to macromolecular structures-the dominant force in the molecular organization of life. However, recent work suggests that metabolite availability to the hexosamine and Golgi N-glycosylation pathways exerts control over the assembly of macromolecular complexes on the cell surface and, in this capacity, acts upstream of signaling and gene expression. The structu...
متن کاملNetwork organization of cell metabolism: monosaccharide interconversion.
The structural properties of carbohydrate metabolism are being studied. The present contribution focuses mainly on those processes involving the transfer of carbon fragments among sugars. It is shown how enzymatic activities fix the way the system self-organizes stoichiometrically at the steady state. It is proven that there exists a specific correspondence between the set of all possible enzym...
متن کاملThe cell surface and disease.
The aim of this review is to identify some diseases in which the surface of the affected cell plays a predominant role and to examine the ways by which a change in the cell surface results in a pathological effect on cell function (Fig. 1). Some excellent examples may have escaped our attention, and the reader is referred to previous reviews [ 1-51. Nor is it possible in such a brief review to ...
متن کاملSelf-organization and chaos in the metabolism of a cell
Aim . To study the dynamics of auto-oscillations arising at the level of enzyme-substrate interaction in a cell and to find the conditions for the self-organization and the formation of chaos in the metabolic process. Methods. A mathematical model of the metabolic process of steroids transformation in Arthrobacter globiformis. The mathematical apparatus of nonlinear dynamics. Results. The bifur...
متن کاملGPI-anchored protein organization and dynamics at the cell surface.
The surface of eukaryotic cells is a multi-component fluid bilayer in which glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins are an abundant constituent. In this review, we discuss the complex nature of the organization and dynamics of GPI-anchored proteins at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Different biophysical techniques have been utilized for understanding this organization, inclu...
