Immunoglobulin-like Cell Adhesion Molecules01:31

Immunoglobulin-like Cell Adhesion Molecules

4.4K
Immunoglobulin-like cell adhesion molecules or Ig-CAMs are a versatile group of cell surface glycoproteins belonging to the immunoglobulin protein superfamily. Ig-CAMs possess the characteristic immunoglobulin protein domains and other domains such as the fibronectin type III domain. The Ig domains are glycosylated to varying degrees in different Ig-CAMs.
Ig-CAMs exhibit either homophilic binding (to other Ig-CAMs) or heterophilic binding (to other ligands such as integrins). While most Ig-CAMs...

Selectins

4.3K
Cell adhesion is  an essential aspect of multicellularity. While stable cell interactions usually occur between cells of the same type, transient cell interactions occur between cells of different tissue types, such as between neutrophils and endothelial cells. Selectins are one class of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) that bind carbohydrate ligands to form transient cell adhesion. They are rod-like proteins with a long extracellular part of variable length ending with the lectin domain,...

Tail-anchoring of Proteins in the ER Membrane01:45

Tail-anchoring of Proteins in the ER Membrane

3.9K
Tail-anchored, or TA, proteins are estimated to make up to 3-5% of membrane proteins found in the eukaryotic cell. Such proteins have a single transmembrane domain located approximately 30 amino acid residues upstream from the C-terminal end. As a result, the signal recognition particle (SRP) cannot guide a TA protein to the ER membrane for cotranslational insertion. Hence, they are integrated into the ER membrane post-translationally using their C-terminal end as the anchor. TA proteins...

Area of Science:

  • Ion channel function
  • Molecular biology
  • Cardiovascular research

Background:

  • Transient receptor potential channel of melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is crucial in cardiovascular processes.
  • TRPM4 channels are regulated by intracellular modulators binding to their termini.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify novel binding sites for calmodulin (CaM) and S100 calcium-binding protein A1 (S100A1) on the TRPM4 N-terminus.
  • To elucidate the interaction mechanisms between TRPM4 and these binding proteins.

Main Methods:

  • Chemically synthesized TRPM4 peptides mimicking binding epitopes.
  • Fluorescence methods to determine binding sites.
  • Molecular modeling to support experimental data.

Main Results:

  • New CaM- and S100A1-binding sites identified in the distal TRPM4 N-terminus.
  • Binding epitopes for CaM and S100A1 overlap.
  • Complex formation is mediated by specific charged (R139, R140, R144) and hydrophobic (L134, L138, V143) residues.

Conclusions:

  • The TRPM4 N-terminus directly binds CaM and S100A1.
  • Distinct interaction mechanisms likely exist for TRPM4/CaM and TRPM4/S100A1 complexes.
  • These interactions suggest a role in modulating TRPM4 channel activity and cardiovascular function.
