Synaptic vesicles
Aside from forming ion channels, what else do claudins do? Claudins and occludin (also a four-pass integral membrane protein) interact laterally in the membrane circumscribing the cell to form a ‘fence’. This barrier prevents the diffusion of extracellularly facing lipids between apical and basolateral plasma membrane domains. The tight junction may also be an important component of several sig...
متن کاملForce generated by actomyosin contraction builds bridges between adhesive contacts.
Extracellular matrices in vivo are heterogeneous structures containing gaps that cells bridge with an actomyosin network. To understand the basis of bridging, we plated cells on surfaces patterned with fibronectin (FN)-coated stripes separated by non-adhesive regions. Bridges developed large tensions where concave cell edges were anchored to FN by adhesion sites. Actomyosin complexes assembled ...
متن کاملHeterochromatin assembly by interrupted Sir3 bridges across neighboring nucleosomes
Heterochromatin is a conserved feature of eukaryotic chromosomes with central roles in regulation of gene expression and maintenance of genome stability. Heterochromatin formation involves spreading of chromatin-modifying factors away from initiation points over large DNA domains by poorly understood mechanisms. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, heterochromatin formation requires the SIR complex, wh...
متن کاملBiogenesis of synaptic vesicles.
The basic endosomal recycling pathway can be modified to generate transcytotic vesicles, storage vesicles and synaptic vesicles. Sorting into synaptic vesicles requires specialized sorting information not present in the transcytotic and storage vesicle proteins. Using mutagenesis we have distinguished the signals for rapid endocytosis and SV targeting in synaptobrevin. Finally, we have evidence...
متن کاملSharing Vesicles Between Central Presynaptic Terminals: Implications for Synaptic Function
Presynaptic terminals in hippocampal neurons house functionally distinct vesicle pools, the size, structure and biochemical features of which are major determinants of presynaptic strength and performance. In classical models of synaptic function these vesicle pools are synapse-specific, but accumulating evidence is now demonstrating that some vesicles are laterally mobile along axons and readi...
