Watching real-time endocytosis in living cells

چکیده
The precise sequence of events promoting clathrin-coated vesicle assembly is still debated. In this issue, Kadlecova et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201608071) test structural models using quantitative microscopy in living cells to investigate the hierarchy and temporal importance of molecular events required for clathrin-coated pit initiation.

Real-time Imaging of Rabies Virus Entry into Living Vero cells
Understanding the mechanism of rabies virus (RABV) infection is vital for prevention and therapy of virulent rabies. However, the infection mechanism remains largely uncharacterized due to the limited methods and viral models. Herein, we utilized a powerful single-virus tracking technique to dynamically and globally visualize the infection process of the live attenuated rabies vaccine strain-SR...
متن کاملReal-time endocytosis imaging as a rapid assay of ligand-GPCR binding in single cells.
Most G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) do not generate membrane currents in response to ligand-receptor binding (LRB). Here, we describe a novel technique using endocytosis as a bioassay that can detect activation of a GPCR in a way analogous to patch-clamp recording of an ion channel in a living cell. The confocal imaging technique, termed FM endocytosis imaging (FEI), can record ligand-GPCR...

9 The Rockefeller University Press $30.00 J. Cell Biol. Vol. 216 No. 1 9–11 https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201611115 In eukaryotic cells, the majority of internalized transmembrane protein receptors and ligands enter by clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). Clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) assemble at the plasma membrane by forming clathrin-coated pits (CCPs) that mature into fully formed coated ves...
متن کاملEndocytic and NBT-reduction activities and TNF expression by macrophages and monocytes of the armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus)
The armadillo could be considered as an experimental model for leprosy studies. Mycobacterium leprae main host cells are macrophages and Schwann cells. However, endocytosis and germicidal activities of armadillo macrophages and monocytes have not yet been evaluated. The aim of this research was to evaluate endocytosis and NBT-reduction activities of monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) and monocy...
متن کاملEndocytosis as a Biological Response in Receptor Pharmacology: Evaluation by Fluorescence Microscopy
The activation of G-protein coupled receptors by agonist compounds results in diverse biological responses in cells, such as the endocytosis process consisting in the translocation of receptors from the plasma membrane to the cytoplasm within internalizing vesicles or endosomes. In order to functionally evaluate endocytosis events resulted from pharmacological responses, we have developed an im...
