Symbiosis00:58

Symbiosis

35.4K
Symbiotic relationships are long-term, close interactions between individuals of different species that affect the distribution and abundance of those species. When a relationship is beneficial to both species, this is called mutualism. When the relationship is beneficial to one species but neither beneficial nor harmful to the other species, this is called commensalism. When one organism is harmed to benefit another, the relationship is known as parasitism. These types of relationships often...

Assembly of Signaling Complexes01:30

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

6.1K
Multiprotein signaling complexes are formed in a dynamic process involving protein-protein interactions at the cytoplasmic domain of transmembrane receptors or enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins associated with the receptor. These complexes ensure the activation and propagation of intracellular signals that regulate cell functions.
Interaction domains in cell signaling
Interaction domains recognize exposed features of their binding partners containing post-translationally modified sequences,...

Nucleoid01:24

Nucleoid

440
The nucleoid represents a structurally and functionally distinct region within prokaryotic cells, where the cell's DNA and associated proteins are housed. Unlike eukaryotic cells, prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus, and the nucleoid facilitates the organization and accessibility of the genetic material within this constraint. The DNA in most bacteria and archaea exists as a single, circular, double-stranded molecule that is highly compacted through supercoiling and interactions with...

Anchoring Junctions01:03

Anchoring Junctions

4.3K
Anchoring junctions are multiprotein complexes that help cells connect to other cells and the extracellular matrix. Anchoring junctions are present on the lateral and basal surfaces of cells, providing strong and flexible connections. Focal adhesions are often formed due to cell interactions with the ECM substrata, which initiate signal transduction via kinase cascades and other mechanisms. Together, they provide stability and tissue integrity. There are three types of anchoring junctions:...

Cohesins02:20

Cohesins

4.9K
Cohesin protein complexes are a molecular glue that holds two sister chromatids together. They play an important role both in mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, all cohesin complexes present on the chromosomes are removed before the start of the anaphase stage.
Cohesin complexes in Meiotic Division
Meiosis involves two distinct rounds of chromosomal segregation and cell divisions— Meiosis I followed by Meiosis II – producing four daughter cells. Meiosis I includes the separation of...

The Supercomplexes in the Crista Membrane01:41

The Supercomplexes in the Crista Membrane

2.7K
The mitochondrial cristae membrane is the primary site for the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) process of energy conversion mediated through respiratory complexes I to V. These complexes have been widely studied for decades, and it has been proven that they form supramolecular structures called respiratory supercomplexes (SC). These higher-order complexes may be crucial in maintaining the biochemical structure and improving the physiological activity of the individual complexes while...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Cell Biology
  • Calcium Signaling

Background:

  • Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is a critical calcium influx mechanism.
  • Existing knowledge of SOCE molecular mechanisms largely stems from studies manipulating STIM1 and Orai1 expression levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the dynamics and stoichiometry of endogenous STIM1 and Orai1 proteins.
  • To elucidate the molecular architecture of active SOCE clusters.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized advanced microscopy and biochemical techniques to study endogenous STIM1 and Orai1.
  • Quantified the protein interactions and spatial organization within SOCE complexes.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated that active SOCE clusters are centered around a single Orai1 channel.
  • Found that each Orai1 channel in a punctum is associated with approximately 12 STIM1 dimers.
  • Provided the first detailed stoichiometric analysis of endogenous STIM1-Orai1 interactions.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed 1:12 STIM1 dimer to Orai1 channel stoichiometry offers a new model for SOCE activation.
  • This stoichiometry has significant implications for understanding the regulation and efficiency of SOCE-dependent calcium signaling.
  • Highlights the importance of precise protein stoichiometry in cellular signaling pathways.
