まとめ
細胞死におけるニンジュリン-1 (NINJ1) は,膜を溶解させるフィラメントを形成することによって,プラズマ膜破裂 (PMR) を積極的に引き起こします. ニンジュリン-2 (NINJ2) 繊維は曲げられ,PMRを防ぐ.
科学分野:
- 細胞生物学
- 分子生物学
- バイオ物理学
背景:
- 溶解性細胞死は従来,受動的オスモティック溶解事件と考えられていた.
- ニンジュリン-1 (NINJ1) は,プラズマ膜破裂 (PMR) の主要な媒介体として特定されています.
- NINJ1のパラログであるニンジュリン-2 (NINJ2) はPMRを媒介しない.
研究 の 目的:
- NINJ1媒介のPMRの分子メカニズムを解明する.
- NINJ1とNINJ2の異なる機能の構造的基礎を理解する.
- NINJ1の細胞死における 線維構造の役割を調査する
主な方法:
- 冷凍電子顕微鏡 (Cryo-EM) でフィラメント構造を決定する.
- 膜の相互作用と溶解性を研究するための生体物理的試験.
- 機能領域と脂質の相互作用を調査するための変異性研究.
主要な成果:
- NINJ1とNINJ2は,明確な水嫌悪性および水性面を持つ線形フィラメントを形成する.
- NINJ1の繊維はまっすぐで,膜の包み込みと溶解,または毛穴の形成を容易にする.
- NINJ2フィラメントは脂質の相互作用により曲げられ,組み立てとPMRを防ぐ.
結論:
- NINJ1は,プラズマ膜を破壊する直線フィラメントを形成することで,PMRを活発に駆動します.
- NINJ2がPMRを媒介できないのは,脂質結合によって影響される曲線フィラメント構造による.
- フィラメントの幾何学と脂質の相互作用は,溶解性細胞死におけるNINJ1/NINJ2の機能を決定する重要な要因である.

Intracellular Signaling Affects Focal Adhesions
2.6K
Integrins act both as extracellular input receivers and as intracellular processing activators. As their name suggests, integrins are entirely integrated into the membrane structure. Their hydrophobic membrane-spanning regions interact with the phospholipid bilayer's hydrophobic region. These membrane receptors provide extracellular attachment sites for effectors like hormones and growth factors. They activate intracellular response cascades when their effectors are bound and active.

Necrosis
4.3K
Necrosis is considered as an “accidental” or unexpected form of cell death that ends in cell lysis. The first noticeable mention of “necrosis” was in 1859 when Rudolf Virchow used this term to describe advanced tissue breakdown in his compilation titled “Cell Pathology”.
Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become...

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway
7.2K
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.

Formation of the Platelet Plug
4.4K
The platelet phase, the second stage of hemostasis, commences around 15-20 seconds after an injury. It follows and overlaps with the vascular phase, during which blood vessels constrict to minimize blood loss.
As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...

Enlargement of the Plasma Membrane
1.9K
Cell division and enlargement are processes that require precise control. The control ensures that cell division cannot proceed unless the cell has grown to a specific size. A spherical, dividing cell requires an approximately 1.6X increase in its surface area to double its volume. The secretory pathway also has a significant role in cell membrane enlargement. Secretory vesicles that bud off from the Golgi apparatus and later fuse with the plasma membrane during exocytosis are a major source of...

The Extrinsic Apoptotic Pathway
6.3K
The extrinsic apoptotic pathway is initiated when extracellular death-inducing signals, such as specific cytokines, activate the death receptors expressed on the cell surface. The immune cells involved in this pathway are natural killer cells (NK cells) and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. NK cells are critical in innate immune response, while cytotoxic T-lymphocytes are associated with adaptive immune response. These cells recognize specific receptors expressed on the altered cells and activate...
