TGF - β Signaling Pathway01:16

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

10.9K
The TGF-β signaling pathway regulates cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and development. TGF-β ligands that induce TGF-β signaling are synthesized in their latent form. Several proteases or cell surface receptors such as integrins act upon the latent form, releasing the active ligand. There are three types of mammalian TGF-βs: (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) that bind as homodimers or heterodimers to TGF-β receptors. The TGF-β receptors...

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs01:15

Receptor Downregulation in MVBs

3.0K
Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are mature endosomes that sort ubiquitinated proteins and then fuse with lysosomes to degrade the sorted proteins. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) form a complex that can be internalized through endocytosis, sorted into an MVB, and later degraded.
The EGFR can initiate signaling pathways that  lead to cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Overexpression of EGFR  stimulates cells to proliferate. Excessive  EGFR...

Destabilization of Microtubules01:45

Destabilization of Microtubules

3.9K
The destabilization of microtubules can occur during different stages of the microtubule lifecycle, such as nucleation or elongation. It can take place at either end of the microtubule or in the microtubule lattices as a whole. The lifespan of individual microtubules within a cell varies according to the cell type and stage of the cell cycle. During interphase, the lifespan of the microtubule is about 30 minutes, while during cell division, it is about 15 minutes. In axonal microtubules of...

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

3.9K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits.  Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway01:22

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway

6.2K
The mammalian target of rapamycin  (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates growth, proliferation, and cell survival in response to hormones, growth factors, or nutrient availability. This kinase exists in two structurally and functionally distinct forms: mTOR complex 1  (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2  (mTORC2). The first form (mTORC1) is composed of a rapamycin-sensitive Raptor and proline-rich Akt substrate, PRAS40. In contrast,  mTORC2 consists of a...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Virology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Cell-mediated immune (CMI) responses are crucial for controlling HIV-1.
  • HIV-1 proteins like Vpu and Nef antagonize CMI responses.
  • Tetherin/BST-2, a host factor, restricts HIV-1 virion release, but its in vivo link to CMI was unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the in vivo role of Tetherin in retroviral immunity.
  • To clarify how Tetherin influences cell-mediated immune responses during HIV-1 infection.

Main Methods:

  • In vivo retrovirus infections were performed in mice.
  • Mice were engineered to express wild-type, null, or endocytosis-defective Tetherin.

Main Results:

  • Endocytosis-defective Tetherin acted as a potent innate restriction factor.
  • Endocytosis-competent Tetherin, found in humans, correlated with stronger CMI responses in mice.

Conclusions:

  • Endocytosis-competent Tetherin's primary role may be to enhance CMI responses against retroviruses, rather than direct replication restriction.
  • This finding highlights Tetherin's importance in shaping adaptive immunity to HIV-1.
