Regulated Secretion: Helper proteins for neuroendocrine secretion
نویسندگان
چکیده
The granins, known to be general constituents of neuroendocrine secretory granules, are regulators of the proteolytic processing of peptide precursors and promote their aggregation-mediated sorting into secretory granules.

The Golgi-associated long coiled-coil protein NECC1 participates in the control of the regulated secretory pathway in PC12 cells.
Golgi-associated long coiled-coil proteins, often referred to as golgins, are involved in the maintenance of the structural organization of the Golgi apparatus and the regulation of membrane traffic events occurring in this organelle. Little information is available on the contribution of golgins to Golgi function in cells specialized in secretion such as endocrine cells or neurons. In the pres...
متن کاملSecretory processes in lymphocyte function.
The secretion of immunoglobulin by plasma cells has been considered a classical example of the "non-regulated" pathway of protein secretion, in which newly synthesized protein is processed by the Golgi, packaged into small vesicles, and immediately secreted without intracellular storage. In the case of lymphokine secretion by T lymphocytes, it is generally not clear whether this non-regulated p...
متن کاملChromogranin A, an “On/Off” Switch Controlling Dense-Core Secretory Granule Biogenesis
We present evidence that regulation of dense-core secretory granule biogenesis and hormone secretion in endocrine cells is dependent on chromogranin A (CGA). Downregulation of CGA expression in a neuroendocrine cell line, PC12, by antisense RNAs led to profound loss of dense-core secretory granules, impairment of regulated secretion of a transfected prohormone, and reduction of secretory granul...
متن کاملLarge dense-core secretory granule biogenesis is under the control of chromogranin A in neuroendocrine cells.
The large dense-core secretory granule is an organelle in neuroendocrine/endocrine cells, where prohormones and proneuropeptides are stored, processed, and secreted in a regulated manner. Here we present evidence that chromogranin A (CgA), one of the most abundant acidic glycoproteins ubiquitously present in neuroendocrine/endocrine cells, regulates dense-core secretory granule biogenesis. Spec...
متن کاملDocked secretory vesicles undergo Ca2+-activated exocytosis in a cell-free system.
The Ca2+-activated fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane responsible for regulated neurotransmitter and hormone secretion has previously been studied in permeable neuroendocrine cells, where requirements for ATP and cytosolic proteins were identified. As reported here, Ca2+-activated fusion mechanisms are also preserved following cell homogenization. The release of norepinephrin...
