Intracellular ATP and Cardiac Membrane Currents [PDF]

open access: possible, 1988
Energy metabolism has a strong influence on the electrical activities of cardiac muscle (Trautwein et al., 1954; De Mello, 1959; MacLeod and Daniel, 1965; for review see Carmeliet, 1978). When cardiac muscle is exposed to anoxic conditions or metabolic inhibitors, or is depleted of substrates, the plateau of the action potential is depressed in the ...

Genetic Defects of Intracellular-Membrane Transport

New England Journal of Medicine, 2000
The compartmentalization of functions into distinct membrane-bound organelles is a central characteristic of cells. The protein and lipid composition of these organelles is unique, a factor that is vital for their proper function. This necessitates tightly controlled transport of biomolecules from their sites of synthesis or uptake to specific ...

Enzymology of intracellular membrane fusion

Klinische Wochenschrift, 1991
A combination of cell-free biochemical and morphological studies has revealed that a coated bud-coated vesicle transport system shuttles newly synthesized proteins through the successive processing compartments of the Golgi apparatus. These "Golgi coated vesicles" operate in a manner formally analogous to the clathrin coated pit-coated vesicle system ...

5 Intracellular membrane fusion

1994
The NSF, SNAP, and SNAP receptors are key elements of the intracellular membrane fusion machinery. We use an affinity purification scheme, based on the function of SNAP receptor in assembling 20S fusion particles from NSF and SNAP proteins, to purify SNAP receptors from brain.

Intracellular Membrane Fusion

2009
Fusion of biological membranes plays an important role in cell structure and function. It is essential for organelle biogenesis, vesicle targeting, constitutive and regulated exocytosis, endocytosis, pathogen invasion of host cells, sperm-egg fusion and skeletal muscle formation.

Intracellular Parcel Service: Current Issues in Intracellular Membrane Trafficking

2014
Eukaryotic cells contain a multitude of membrane structures that are connected through a highly dynamic and complex exchange of their constituents. The vibrant instability of these structures challenges the classical view of defined, static compartments that are connected by different types of vesicles. Despite this astonishing complexity, proteins and

Intracellular trafficking of lysosomal membrane proteins

BioEssays, 1996
AbstractLysosomes are the site of degradation of obsolete intracellular material during autophagy and of extracellular macromolecules following endocytosis and phagocytosis. The membrane of lysosomes and late endosomes is enriched in highly glycosylated transmembrane proteins of largely unknown function.

Functional architecture of an intracellular membrane t-SNARE

Nature, 2000
Lipid bilayer fusion is mediated by SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors) located on the vesicle membrane (v-SNAREs) and the target membrane (t-SNAREs). The assembled v-SNARE/t-SNARE complex consists of a bundle of four helices, of which one is supplied by the v-SNARE and the other three by the t-SNARE.

CD95 ligation and intracellular membrane flow

Biochemical Journal, 2008
Whereas ligation of the CD95 death receptor in the plasma membrane of so-called type I cells leads to a direct caspase 8-dependent activation of downstream effector caspases, mitochondrial amplification of caspase 8-derived signals is required in so-called type II cells in order to execute apoptotic cell death.

Coat proteins in intracellular membrane transport

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1994
Transport of newly synthesized material from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) towards the Golgi complex, through the Golgi cisternae, and out of the trans-Golgi network (TGN) is thought to be mediated by vesicular carriers. Different types of vesicle are involved in this biosynthetic membrane traffic.
