まとめ

分裂酵母では,内細胞性のアクチンパッチが異なる方法で調節されます. 極性タンパク質Cdc42とPak1キナーゼは,細胞末端と分裂部位での成功的な内部化に不可欠ですが,側面ではありません.

科学分野:

細胞生物学
分子生物学
生物化学

背景:

細胞内分泌は真核細胞の極性化と成長に不可欠である.
Schizosaccharomyces pombeでは,エンドサイトーシスは極化 (細胞末端,分裂部位) と非極化 (細胞側) 部位で発生する.
細胞内アクチンパッチは,これらの部位に差異的な調節を示す.

研究の目的:

Schizosaccharomyces pombeの内細胞アクチンパッチの微分調節を特徴づけるために
Cdc42,Pak1キナーゼ,およびMyo1の内細胞パッチダイナミクスにおける役割を調査する.
特定のタンパク質が偏向型と非偏向型の部位での内化にどのように影響するかを理解する.

主な方法:

細胞内アクチンパッチの特徴
Cdc42,Pak1キナーゼ,およびMyo1の局所化研究
パッチの組み立てと内部化を調節するタンパク質の機能の分析
Cdc42の活性化における Gef1の役割を調査する.

主要な成果:

内細胞アクチンパッチは,細胞末端/分裂部位と細胞側で差異的に調節されます.
Cdc42とPak1キナーゼは,偏光した部位に局所化し,そこでパッチの組み立てと内部化を調節する.
Myo1は全局的に局所化し,細胞側を含むすべての部位でアクチンアセンブリを促進します.
Gef1によるCdc42の活性化は,適切なパッチダイナミクスにとって極めて重要です.

結論:

偏向した部位での成功性のある内細胞化は,Cdc42とPak1キナーゼを必要とします.
Myo1は全般的にアクチン組成を促進するが,極化内細胞症には不十分である.
区分されたタンパク質の局所化と活性化により,局所特有の内細胞機能が決定される.

Overview of Secretory Vesicles

8.6K

Secretory vesicles, also known as dense core vesicles (DCVs), are membrane-bound vesicles that transport secretory proteins, such as hormones or neurotransmitters. Regulated secretory vesicles transport proteins from the trans-Golgi network to the exterior of the cell. Proteins present in regulated secretory vesicles are required to be rapidly exocytosed in large amounts upon a specific stimulus.
Various proteins regulate the aggregation of molecules inside the secretory vesicles. Chromogranins...

Cells Coordinate Growth and Proliferation

4.6K

Cell size is a significant factor impacting cellular design, function, and fitness. There exists some internal coordination by which cells double their masses before division, thus, achieving homeostasis. Coordination between cell growth and proliferation depends on the checkpoints in between cell cycle phases. Loss of coordination or failure in the checkpoint mechanism can drive the cell to uncontrolled growth and loss of cellular function. Like dividing cells that coordinate cellular growth,...

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting

2.4K

Nuclear protein sorting regulates nucleus composition and gene expression, crucial for determining the fate of a eukaryotic cell. Hence, the entry and exit of molecules across the nuclear envelope is a tightly controlled process. Nuclear protein sorting can be inhibited by one of the following ways: 1) masking cargo signal sequences, 2) modifying the nuclear receptor's affinity for cargo, 3) controlling the nuclear pore size, 4) retaining the cargo during its transit to the cytosol or the...

Yeast Signaling

14.8K

Yeasts are single-celled organisms, but unlike bacteria, they are eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus). Cell signaling in yeast is similar to signaling in other eukaryotic cells. A ligand, such as a protein or a small molecule released from a yeast cell, attaches to a receptor on the cell surface. The binding stimulates second-messenger kinases to activate or inactivate transcription factors that further regulate gene expression. Many of the yeast intracellular signaling cascades have similar...

Pinching-off of Coated Vesicles

3.2K

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...

Cytoskeletal Coordination in Cell Migration

4.9K

A migrating cell changes its shape during the cyclic events of attachment and detachment from the substratum and repositions the cell organelles correspondingly. These complex events are orchestrated by the dynamic cytoskeletal network comprising actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Cytoskeletal crosstalk — the direct and indirect communication between the different components — is crucial for this coordination. Direct communication involves various linker...
