Unraveling the architecture of caveolae [PDF]
The eukaryotic cell surface is composed of many distinct membrane domains that are formed by the cooperative interactions of different proteins and lipids. These domains are important for membrane trafficking and cell signaling and are modulated in turn by changes in the cell environment. Caveolae (“little caves”) are ∼60-nm membrane invaginations (Fig.

Clinicopathological Significance and Prognostic Value of the Caveolae Constitutive Proteins Dynamin-2 and Caveolin-1 in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background We investigated the clinicopathological significance of the expression of two caveolae component proteins, dynamin‐2 (DNM2) and caveolin‐1 (CAV1), in primary tumors of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods Immunohistochemical staining for DNM2 and CAV1 was performed on resected primary tumor specimens from 80 ...

Retrograde transport pathways utilised by viruses and protein toxins [PDF]
A model has been presented for retrograde transport of certain toxins and viruses from the cell surface to the ER that suggests an obligatory interaction with a glycolipid receptor at the cell surface. Here we review studies on the ER trafficking cholera

EHD2 is a mechanotransducer connecting caveolae dynamics with gene transcription [PDF]
Caveolae are small invaginated pits that function as dynamic mechanosensors to buffer tension variations at the plasma membrane. Here we show that under mechanical stress, the EHD2 ATPase is rapidly released from caveolae, SUMOylated, and translocated to

Spelunking for lipids in caveolae [PDF]
Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) have been implicated in the maintenance of caveolae, but direct evidence that these lipids are required for normal caveolar structure and dynamics in living cells has been lacking. A new study by Fairn and colleagues uses sophisticated tools to perturb specific lipids

Energy and Dynamics of Caveolae Trafficking [PDF]
Caveolae are 70–100 nm diameter plasma membrane invaginations found in abundance in adipocytes, endothelial cells, myocytes, and fibroblasts. Their bulb-shaped membrane domain is characterized and formed by specific lipid binding proteins including Caveolins, Cavins, Pacsin2, and EHD2.

Cell Propagation of Cholera Toxin CTA ADP-Ribosylating Factor by Exosome Mediated Transfer [PDF]
In this study, we report how the cholera toxin (CT) A subunit (CTA), the enzyme moiety responsible for signaling alteration in host cells, enters the exosomal pathway, secretes extracellularly, transmits itself to a cell population.
