چکیده
sorted to the apical domain (Lisanti et al., 1989), primarily based on their N-glycan complement, although their lipid tails may also play some role (Benting et al., 1999). The importance of extracellular carbohydrate determinants in apical sorting implies a critical role for a carboBettina Winckler* and Ira Mellman* Department of Cell Biology Yale University School of Medicine New Haven, Connecticut 06520

Vesicular sorting controls the polarity of expanding membranes in the C. elegans intestine
Biological tubes consist of polarized epithelial cells with apical membranes building the central lumen and basolateral membranes contacting adjacent cells or the extracellular matrix. Cellular polarity requires distinct inputs from outside the cell, e.g., the matrix, inside the cell, e.g., vesicular trafficking and the plasma membrane and its junctions.(1) Many highly conserved polarity cues h...
متن کاملActin dependence of polarized receptor recycling in MDCK cell endosomes
Mammalian epithelial cell plasma membrane domains are separated by junctional complexes supported by actin. The extent to which actin acts elsewhere to maintain cell polarity remains poorly understood. Using latrunculin B (Lat B) to depolymerize actin filaments, several basolateral plasma membrane proteins were found to lose their polarized distribution. This loss of polarity did not reflect la...
متن کاملNeuronal Polarity: Vectorial Cytoplasmic Flow Precedes Axon Formation
Axon formation in multipolar neurons is believed to depend on the existence of precise sorting mechanisms for axonal membrane and membrane-associated proteins. Conclusive evidence in living neurons, however, is lacking. In the present study, we use light and video microscopy to address this issue directly. We show that axon formation is preceded by the appearance in one of the multiple neurites...
متن کاملEpithelial polarity: Sorting out the sorters
Epithelial cell polarity depends on the continuous sorting of plasma membrane proteins. While various sorting signals and pathways have been identified, only recently has a protein been identified that recognizes such sorting determinants and mediates sorting to a specific cell-surface domain.
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Non-Uniform Gas Diffusion Layer Porosity Effect on Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Performance
Gas diffusion layers are essential components of proton exchange membrane fuel cell since the reactants should pass through these layers. Mass transport in these layers is highly dependent on porosity. Many of simulations have assumed, for simplicity, the porosity of GDL is constant, but in practice, there is a considerable variation in porosity along gas diffusion layers. In the present study ...
