Organelle Interactions: Melanosomes and Mitochondria Get Cozy
Melanosomes make pigments and mitochondria make ATP. A recent study has shown that these two organelles are connected by fibrillar bridges and that their close physical contact may promote the biogenesis of the melanosome by providing it with ATP.
متن کاملMitochondria and Melanosomes Establish Physical Contacts Modulated by Mfn2 and Involved in Organelle Biogenesis
BACKGROUND To efficiently supply ATP to sites of high-energy demand and finely regulate calcium signaling, mitochondria adapt their metabolism, shape, and distribution within the cells, including relative positioning with respect to other organelles. However, physical contacts between mitochondria and the secretory/endocytic pathway have been demonstrated so far only with the ER, through struct...
متن کاملOrganelle Transport: A Park-and-Ride System for Melanosomes
Those of us experiencing graying hair may be more sensitive to the term melanosome than other readers. You will find no remedy within this article, but rather a jealous look at the organisms which are able to manipulate their skin color, for example to match the appearance of their environment. In fish and amphibians, this change is brought about by movements of pigment-containing vesicles, mel...
متن کاملMelanosomes on the move: a model to understand organelle dynamics.
Advances in live-cell microscopy have revealed the extraordinarily dynamic nature of intracellular organelles. Moreover, movement appears to be critical in establishing and maintaining intracellular organization and organellar and cellular function. Motility is regulated by the activity of organelle-associated motor proteins, kinesins, dyneins and myosins, which move cargo along polar MT (micro...
