Calmodulin-dependent Signaling01:16

Calmodulin-dependent Signaling

5.1K
Calmodulin (CaM) is a calcium-binding protein in eukaryotes that controls various calcium-regulated cellular processes. It has four calcium-binding sites that bind calcium to form the calcium-calmodulin ( Ca2+-CaM) complex. GPCR stimulation increases the calcium levels in the cells that bind to CaM and induces a conformational change.
The Ca2+-CaM complex does not have enzymatic activity by itself. Instead, the complex binds downstream target proteins, including membrane proteins or enzymes,...

Clathrin Coated Vesicles

Clathrin-coated vesicles use endocytosis to transport receptors and lysosomal hydrolases from the Golgi to the lysosome in the late secretory pathway. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis was the first described endocytic process, and Clathrin-coated vesicles remain one of the most well-studied transport vesicles. The molecular machinery that generates clathrin-coated vesicles comprises over 50 proteins that precisely coordinate vesicle formation. Cell surface receptors concentrated in indented sites...

Pinching-off of Coated Vesicles

3.1K
Vesicle budding is orchestrated by distinct cytosolic proteins such as adaptor proteins, coat proteins, and GTPases. To initiate vesicle budding, membrane-bending proteins containing crescent-shaped BAR domains bind to the lipid heads in the bilayer and distort the membrane to form a protein-coated vesicle bud. Adaptors proteins such as AP2 for clathrin-coated vesicles can nucleate on the deformed membrane. Finally, coat proteins such as clathrin or COPI and COPII assemble into a coat forming...

Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies

3.4K
Intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) are small vesicles 50-80 nm in diameter formed during the maturation of early endosomes. A specialized endosome containing numerous ILVs is called a multivesicular body (MVB). ILVs contain internalized molecules such as antigens, nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites. Some of these molecules are released from the MVBs inside exosomes and are transported to other cells. Other MVBs contain molecules that are retained in the ILVs and are later degraded within the...

Background:

  • Endosomal escape is a critical barrier for non-viral gene delivery systems.
  • Bacterial phospholipase C (PLC) has previously shown potential in facilitating endosomal escape for DNA delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To engineer a calcium-responsive system for enhanced endosomal escape of TFAMoplexes.
  • To improve the efficiency of non-viral gene delivery systems by targeting the endosomal membrane.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a modular system for non-covalent capture and release of PLC to TFAMoplexes.
  • Utilizing nanobody-mediated targeting to the endosomal membrane.
  • Assessing transfection efficiency in HeLa cells under serum conditions.

Main Results:

  • The calcium-responsive system significantly enhanced endosomal escape.
  • Achieved high transfection efficiency in HeLa cells with low concentrations of DNA and PLC (EC50 < 200 ng/mL serum, 5 nM PLC).
  • Demonstrated the adaptability of the capture, release, and targeting system for other delivery agents.

Conclusions:

  • The developed system offers a promising strategy for overcoming endosomal escape barriers in gene delivery.
  • This approach holds potential for improving the delivery of nucleic acids and other macromolecules.
  • The modular design allows for broad applicability to various gene delivery platforms.
