まとめ
低密度脂質タンパク質 (LDL) のトランサイトシスはゴルギ装置を巻き込み,ラブタンパク質がこのプロセスを調節する. 特定のRabタンパク質であるRab6aとRab10は,内皮細胞間でのLDL輸送に不可欠です.

- 内皮細胞生物学
- 脂質代謝
- 分子細胞生物学
背景:
- 低密度脂質タンパク質 (LDL) の亜内皮留置が関わっています.
- SR- BIとALK1によって媒介される内皮LDLトランサイトシスは極めて重要だが,その細胞内メカニズムは不明である.
- 低密度脂質タンパク質受容体 (LDLR) は通常,このプロセスには関与しません.
研究 の 目的:
- 細胞内メカニズムと内皮細胞間でのLDLトランサイトシスの経路を解明する.
- 細胞内の重要なタンパク質を特定し,LDLのトランサイトゼを調節する.
- ラブタンパク質がLDLを輸送する役割を調査する.
主な方法:
- LDLRが枯渇したヒト冠動脈内皮細胞 (HCAEC) の全内反射光顕微鏡.
- 内皮のラブタンパク質の体系的検査
- ゴルギマーカーによるLDLコロカライゼーションの評価 (TGN46).
- ラブタンパク質の減少と過剰発現を伴う機能的測定
主要な成果:
- LDLのトランサイトシスは,Golgi装置を含む細胞内区間を通して直接または間接的に発生します.
- Rab6aとRab10はLDLトランサイトスに不可欠で,Rab10の過剰発現がそれを強化する.
- Rab10の枯渇は,ゴルギからのLDLエクソシトーシスを阻害し,ゴルギの膨張につながります.
- アルブミンのトランサイトスとSR- BI/ ALK1の発現/ 局所化は,Rabの減退によって影響を受けなかった.
結論:
- 内蔵されたLDLはゴルギに運ばれ,トランサイトーシス中のエクソサイトーシスの貯蔵庫として機能する.
- Rab6aとRab10は,特にゴルギからLDLの脱出を制御する,LDLトランサイトズの重要なレギュレータです.
- これらの発見は,内皮細胞内のLDL輸送を制御する新しい細胞内経路を明らかにしています.

Rab Cascades
2.7K
Rab GTPases act in a regulated cascade during membrane fusion, helping the lipid bilayers mix. The Rab family of proteins are active when bound to GTP, and inactive when bound to GDP. Hence, they act as guanine nucleotide-dependent molecular switches. Rab-GTP recognizes and binds to long or short-range tethering proteins to capture the target vesicle. These tethers coordinate with SNAREs on the vesicle and the target membrane to assemble the trans SNARE complex that locks the mixing bilayers.

Rab Proteins
4.1K
Rab proteins constitute the largest family of monomeric GTPases, of which 70 members are present in humans. Rab proteins and their effectors regulate consecutive stages of vesicle transport such as vesicle transport, docking, and fusion to the correct recipient membrane.
Rab proteins switch between a cytosolic, GDP-bound inactive state and a membrane-anchored, GTP-bound active state. By themselves, Rabs show slow rates of GDP/GTP exchange and GTP hydrolysis. Thus, Rab proteins are considered...

Export of Misfolded Proteins out of the ER
3.9K
After folding, the ER assesses the quality of secretory and membrane proteins. The correctly folded proteins are cleared by the calnexin cycle for transport to their final destination, while misfolded proteins are held back in the ER lumen. The ER chaperones attempt to unfold and refold the misfolded proteins but sometimes fail to achieve the correct native conformation. Such terminally misfolded proteins are then exported to the cytosol by ER-associated degradation or ERAD pathway for...

Protein Translocation Machinery on the ER Membrane
4.9K
The translocon complex situated on the ER membrane is the main gateway for the protein secretory pathway. It facilitates the transport of nascent peptides into the ER lumen and their insertion into the ER membrane.
Sec61 protein conducting channel
In eukaryotes, the translocon complex comprises a core heterotrimeric translocator channel called the Sec61 complex. This channel includes three transmembrane proteins, Sec61α, Sec61β, and Sec61γ, and is the largest subunit of the...

Protein Transport to the Thylakoids
2.4K
Thylakoids are membrane-bound sac-like structures within the chloroplast that serve as sites for photosynthesis. Thylakoid lumen contains many electron transport proteins and is enclosed by a thylakoid membrane rich in the light-harvesting complex. Proteins targeted to the thylakoids are transported as precursors and are sorted by the general TOC/TIC import pathway. Once the precursor reaches the stroma, stromal processing peptidases remove their transit signal and expose thylakoid signal...

Transport Across the Golgi
4.4K
While it is unclear how molecules move between adjacent Golgi cisternae, it is apparent that the molecules move from cis- cisterna, the entry face, to the trans- cisterna, the exit face. Experiments initially suggested vesicles that bud from one cisterna and fuse with the next cisterna to transport proteins between the cisternae. This vesicular transport model describes the Golgi apparatus as a relatively static structure with a unique enzyme composition in each cisterna. Molecules are...
