The enterocyte microvillus is a vesicle-generating organelle
For decades, enterocyte brush border microvilli have been viewed as passive cytoskeletal scaffolds that serve to increase apical membrane surface area. However, recent studies revealed that in the in vitro context of isolated brush borders, myosin-1a (myo1a) powers the sliding of microvillar membrane along core actin bundles. This activity also leads to the shedding of small vesicles from micro...
متن کاملDifferential Localization and Dynamics of Class I Myosins in the Enterocyte Microvillus
Epithelial cells lining the intestinal tract build an apical array of microvilli known as the brush border. Each microvillus is a cylindrical membrane protrusion that is linked to a supporting actin bundle by myosin-1a (Myo1a). Mice lacking Myo1a demonstrate no overt physiological symptoms, suggesting that other myosins may compensate for the loss of Myo1a in these animals. To investigate chang...
متن کاملVesicle and organelle formation: making connections
Vesicle assembly in space and time Two talks used technological advances in light and electron microscopy to examine the formation of vesicles from the plasma membrane. In yeast, endocytosis proceeds via clathrin-tipped tubular invaginations. Andrea Picco (Kaksonen laboratory, European Molecular Biology Laboratory) used live-cell imaging to reconstruct the dynamic organization of the yeast endo...
متن کاملEnterocyte Microvillus-Derived Vesicles Detoxify Bacterial Products and Regulate Epithelial-Microbial Interactions
The continuous monolayer of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) lining the gut lumen functions as the site of nutrient absorption and as a physical barrier to prevent the translocation of microbes and associated toxic compounds into the peripheral vasculature. IECs also express host defense proteins such as intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP), which detoxify bacterial products and prevent inte...
متن کاملDynamic pattern formation in a vesicle-generating microfluidic device.
Spatiotemporal pattern formation occurs in a variety of nonequilibrium physical and chemical systems. Here we show that a microfluidic device designed to produce reverse micelles can generate complex, ordered patterns as it is continuously operated far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Flow in a microfluidic system is usually simple-viscous effects dominate and the low Reynolds number leads to la...
