ER Biogenesis: Self-Assembly of Tubular Topology by Protein Hairpins
نویسندگان
چکیده
The structure of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) depends on members of the reticulon and DP1/Yop1p families. Two of these proteins are sufficient to form tubular membrane networks from pure phospholipid vesicles, thus revealing a new paradigm of ER morphogenesis.

Transmembrane topology of most eukaryotic polytopic IMPs3 is established at the ER membrane coincident with protein synthesis
Understanding how the multidrug resistance phenotype is manifest in human cancer cells will require inslajat into the mechanism of assembly, transmembrane topology, and Intracellular trafficking ofhuman P-glyco protein (MDR1). Previously, we showed that MDR1 amino terminus biogenesis occurred through an unexpected Interaction between novel topogenic sequence subtypes and that transmembrane topo...
متن کاملEndoplasmatic reticulum shaping by generic mechanisms and protein-induced spontaneous curvature.
The endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) comprises flattened vesicles (cisternae) with worm holes dubbed with ribosomes coexisting with a network of interconnected tubes which can extend to the cell periphery or even penetrate nerve axons. The coexisting topologies enclose a continuous luminal space. The complex ER topology is specifically controlled by a group of ER-shaping proteins often called retic...

We searched for novel Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants defective in peroxisome biogenesis by an improved method using peroxisome targeting sequence (PTS) of Pex3p (amino acid residues 1–40)-fused enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). From mutagenized TKaEG3(1–40) cells, the wild-type CHO-K1 stably expressing rat Pex2p and of rat Pex3p(1–40)-EGFP, numerous cell colonies resistant to...
متن کاملER membrane–bending proteins are necessary for de novo nuclear pore formation
Nucleocytoplasmic transport occurs exclusively through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) embedded in pores formed by inner and outer nuclear membrane fusion. The mechanism for de novo pore and NPC biogenesis remains unclear. Reticulons (RTNs) and Yop1/DP1 are conserved membrane protein families required to form and maintain the tubular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the postmitotic nuclear envelope...

In yeast, increased levels of the sterol biosynthetic enzyme, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase isozyme, Hmg1p, induce assembly of nuclear-associated ER membranes called karmellae. To identify additional genes involved in karmellae assembly, we screened temperature-sensitive mutants for karmellae assembly defects. Two independently isolated, temperature-sensitive strains...
