Versatile Membrane Deformation Potential of Activated Pacsin
Endocytosis is a fundamental process in signaling and membrane trafficking. The formation of vesicles at the plasma membrane is mediated by the G protein dynamin that catalyzes the final fission step, the actin cytoskeleton, and proteins that sense or induce membrane curvature. One such protein, the F-BAR domain-containing protein pacsin, contributes to this process and has been shown to induce...
متن کاملDeformation Analysis of a Pneumatically-Activated Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Membrane and Potential Micro-Pump Applications
This study presents a double-side diaphragm peristaltic pump for efficient medium transport without the unwanted backflow and the lagging effect of a diaphragm. A theoretical model was derived to predict the important parameter of the micropump, i.e., the motion of the valves at large deformations, for a variety of air pressures. Accordingly, we proposed an easy and robust design to fabricate a...
متن کاملMechanisms of membrane deformation.
Membrane traffic requires the generation of high-curvature lipid-bound transport carriers represented by tubules and vesicles. The mechanisms through which membranes are deformed has gained much recent attention. A major advance has been the demonstration that direct interactions between cytosolic proteins and lipid bilayers are important in the acquisition of membrane curvature. Rather than be...
متن کاملMembrane deformation and separation
Biological membranes are highly dynamic (e.g., during cell division, organelle biosynthesis, vesicular transport, and neurotransmitter release). They can be shaped into protein-coated transport vesicles or tubules and undergo regulated fusion. The life of transport vesicles depends on highly specific and tightly regulated protein machineries, which not only shape the donor membrane into nascent...
متن کاملESCRTing Membrane Deformation
The ESCRT-III complex mediates membrane budding away from the cytosol in endosome biogenesis, cytokinesis, and viral budding. In this issue, Saksena et al. (2009) use an elegant fluorescence-based approach to define the sequential activation, recruitment, and disassembly of ESCRT-III subunits during membrane involution in vitro.
