まとめ
アクチンダイナミクスは,クラスリン媒介性内細胞分裂 (CME) を通して,細胞がクラスリンで覆われた膀 (CCVs) を形成する方法に影響する. アクチンのポリメリゼーションは"平坦から曲線"の経路を促進し,アクチンの分岐は"常時曲線"の膀形成を好みます.

- 細胞生物学
- バイオ物理学
背景:
- クラトリン媒介内細胞症 (CME) は,分子と受容体を内蔵するための重要な細胞プロセスである.

- CMEダイナミクスに対するアクチン阻害 (ラトルンクリンA) とアクチン分岐阻害 (CK-869) の効果を調査した.
- Cos-7細胞で高オスモラリティ処理を用いて膜の緊張を操作した.
主要な成果:
- アクチンポリメリゼーション (LatA) の阻害は,全体的な膀形成,特に短命の曲線イベントを増加させ,早期の膜曲線を好んだ.
- アクチン分岐の障害 (CK-869) は,膜の侵入を遅らせ,曲線イベントを減少させ,膀の安定性を高め,FTCモデルを好みました.
- 膜の緊張低下 (高オスモラリティ) はLatA効果を模倣し,緊張低下が曲線現象を促進することを示唆した.

Clathrin Coated Vesicles
7.2K
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
3.2K
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...

Coat Assembly and GTPases
3.6K
Vesicles incorporate different coat protein subunits in different cell locations, which changes the properties of the coat, such as the shape and geometry of the transport vesicles. Thus, vesicle coat proteins also play a significant role in cargo selection.
Coat assembly depends on the local availability of phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs and GTP-binding proteins. Adaptor proteins, which link the coat proteins to the membrane, bind to these PIPs and play a crucial role in controlling...

Mechanism of Lamellipodia Formation
2.7K
Cells migrating in response to external stimuli form lamellipodia, which are thin membrane protrusions supported by a mesh of linked, branched, or unbranched actin filaments. These actin filaments interact with myosin motor proteins, creating the dynamic actomyosin complex within the cytoskeleton. Contractility, or the ability to generate contractile stress, is inherent to the actomyosin complex. It helps cells detect the stiffness of the surrounding ECM and exert contractile force for...

Mechanism of Filopodia Formation
2.5K
Filopodia are thin, actin-rich cellular protrusions that play an important role in many fundamental cellular functions. They vary in their occurrence, length, and positioning in different cell types, suggesting their diverse roles.
Their main function is to guide migrating cells during normal tissue morphogenesis or cancer metastasis by recognizing and making initial contacts with the extracellular matrix. However, they can also act as stationary cell anchors or help to establish communication...

Actin Polymerization and Cell Motility
5.4K
Actin is a family of globular proteins that are highly abundant in eukaryotic cells. It makes up approximately 1-5% of total cell protein concentration. Actin monomers polymerize to form a complex network of polarized filaments, the actin cytoskeleton, that plays a crucial role in many cellular processes, including cell motility, division, endocytosis, and metastasis of cancer cells.
Actin cytoskeleton dynamics can produce pushing, pulling, and resistance forces that help the cell to migrate....
