Traffic control: adaptor proteins guide dynein-cargo takeoff.
The precise movement of intracellular components requires active transport by molecular motors along the filamentous tracks of the cytoskeleton. While yeast cytoplasmic dynein can walk for some distance along microtubules, mammalian dynein is non-processive. This has raised the question of how this motor can transport cargo. In two recent papers by the Carter, Bullock and Vale labs, mammalian d...
متن کاملShort Takeoff Performance using Circulation Control
Historically, powered lift takeoff analysis has been prohibitively expensive for use in preliminary design. For powered lift, the coupling of aircraft systems invalidates traditional simplistic methods often used in early aircraft sizing. This research creates a tool that will automate the process of takeoff and balanced field length calculations for a circulation control wing aircraft. The pro...
متن کاملAdaptor proteins as targets for cancer prevention.
This perspective on the report by McCampbell et al. in this issue of the journal (beginning on page 290) addresses the role of insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins in cancer progression. The IRS proteins link many cell-surface receptors to signal transduction pathways. Activation of the phosphoinositide-3 kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin axis normally results in serine phosphorylat...
متن کاملClathrin-Mediated Endocytosis and Adaptor Proteins
Macromolecules gain access to the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells using one of several ways of which clathrin-dependent endocytosis is the most researched. Although the mechanism of clathrin-mediated endocytosis is well understood in general, novel adaptor proteins that play various roles in ensuring specific regulation of the mentioned process are being discovered all the time. This review provi...
متن کاملAdaptor proteins involved in polarized sorting
Polarized cells such as epithelial cells and neurons exhibit different plasma membrane domains with distinct protein compositions. Recent studies have shown that sorting of transmembrane proteins to the basolateral domain of epithelial cells and the somatodendritic domain of neurons is mediated by recognition of signals in the cytosolic domains of the proteins by adaptors. These adaptors are co...
