Plasmodium’s Sticky Fingers
نویسنده
چکیده
The life cycle of the malaria parasite (Plasmodium) is remarkably complex. Malaria parasites must engage in highly specific and varied interactions with cell types of both the mammalian host and the mosquito vector. In this issue of Cell, report detailed molecular insights into an intimate interaction between a malaria parasite protein and its host cell receptor that enables the parasite to invade erythrocytes.

A RIAM/lamellipodin–talin–integrin complex forms the tip of sticky fingers that guide cell migration
The leading edge of migrating cells contains rapidly translocating activated integrins associated with growing actin filaments that form 'sticky fingers' to sense extracellular matrix and guide cell migration. Here we utilized indirect bimolecular fluorescence complementation to visualize a molecular complex containing a Mig-10/RIAM/lamellipodin (MRL) protein (Rap1-GTP-interacting adaptor molec...
متن کاملSticky fingers for migration
Sticky fingers for migration R oaming cells send out sticky fi ngers to probe for good attachment points, say Catherine Galbraith, Kenneth Yamada, and James Galbraith (NIH, Bethesda, MD). The fi ngers’ sideways movements give cells a wider fi eld of vision than do forward and reverse movements alone. These sideways movements were picked up by the authors as ripples in the plasma membrane at the...
متن کاملNon-Sticky Fingers: Policy-Driven Self-optimization for DHTs
It is a common situation with distributed hash tables (DHT) that insertions and lookups frequently target only specific fractions of the entire value range. We present in this paper a self-optimization scheme for DHTs that optimizes the routing behavior in such situations. In our scheme, called Non-Sticky (NS) fingers, each node continuously measures the routing behavior and guides neighboring ...
متن کاملSticky-Finger Manipulation With A Multi-Touch Interface
Manipulation of complex simulated entities like cloth in graphical applications can be non-intuitive and awkward for the user due to the high number of degrees of freedom in their motions. In robotics, direct control of a robotic manipulator for a highlydexterous task is similarly tedious because multiple joints have to be controlled simultaneously, in close coordination and often in varying ve...
متن کاملSticky mittens, prickly Velcro, and infants' transition into independent reaching: Response to Williams, Corbetta, and Guan (2015).
Williams, Corbetta, and Guan (2015) report findings on the effects of active and passive motor training in three-month-old infants and argue that passive task exposure is sufficient to encourage future reaching behaviors. In this commentary, we relate these new findings to our body of published work using sticky mittens and describe important differences in the materials and procedures used. In...
