Caveolin-1 Null Mice Are Viable but Show Evidence of Hyperproliferative and Vascular Abnormalities [PDF]
Caveolin-1 is the principal structural protein of caveolae membranes in fibroblasts and endothelia. Recently, we have shown that the human CAV-1 gene is localized to a suspected tumor suppressor locus, and mutations in Cav-1 have been implicated in human

A Role for Caveolin-3 in the Pathogenesis of Muscular Dystrophies
Caveolae are the cholesterol-rich small invaginations of the plasma membrane present in many cell types including adipocytes, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, smooth muscles, skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles.

Steady-state modulation of voltage-gated K+ channels in rat arterial smooth muscle by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and protein phosphatase 2B [PDF]
Voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv) are important regulators of membrane potential in vascular smooth muscle cells, which is integral to controlling intracellular Ca2+ concentration and regulating vascular tone. Previous work indicates that Kv channels

Caveolin-1 selectively regulates microRNA sorting into microvesicles after noxious stimuli
Extracellular vesicle (EV)–cargo miRNAs mediate intercellular communications. How cells selectively sort the miRNAs into EVs remains unclear. Lee et al. demonstrate a novel mechanism by which functional miRNAs are selectively sorted into EVs via caveolin-

A simplified method for the preparation of detergent-free lipid rafts
Lipid rafts are small plasma membrane domains that contain high levels of cholesterol and sphingolipids. Traditional methods for the biochemical isolation of lipid rafts involve the extraction of cells with nonionic detergents followed by the separation ...

Genetically Encoded Biosensors Reveal PKA Hyperphosphorylation on the Myofilaments in Rabbit Heart Failure [PDF]
RATIONALE: In heart failure, myofilament proteins display abnormal phosphorylation, which contributes to contractile dysfunction. The mechanisms underlying the dysregulation of protein phosphorylation on myofilaments is not clear.

Microdomain forming proteins in oncogenesis
Lipid rafts are lateral assembles of cholesterol, sphingomyelin, glicosphingolipids and specific proteins within cell plasma membrane. These microdomains are involved into a number of important cellular processes including membrane rearrangement, protein

Pathophysiological Role of Caveolae in Hypertension [PDF]
Caveolae, flask-shaped cholesterol-, and glycosphingolipid-rich membrane microdomains, contain caveolin 1, 2, 3 and several structural proteins, in particular Cavin 1-4, EHD2, pacsin2, and dynamin 2.

Characterization of Zika virus endocytic pathways in human glioblastoma cells [PDF]
Zika virus (ZIKV) infections can cause microcephaly and neurological disorders. However, the early infection events of ZIKV in neural cells remain to be characterized. Here, by using a combination of pharmacological and molecular approaches and the human
