Characterization of Cell Glycocalyx with Mass Spectrometry Methods. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The cell membrane plays an important role in protecting the cell from its extracellular environment. As such, extensive work has been devoted to studying its structure and function.

Membrane curvature regulates the spatial distribution of bulky glycoproteins

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
MUC1 is a heavily glycosylated protein on the cell surface. Here the authors show that MUC1 prefers negative over positive membrane curvature due to its bulky size, enabling MUC1 to avoid endocytosis and surface removal based on curvature preference.

Fusogenic structural changes in arenavirus glycoproteins are associated with viroporin activity.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2023
Many enveloped viruses enter host cells by fusing with acidic endosomes. The fusion activity of multiple viral envelope glycoproteins does not generally affect viral membrane permeability.

Mechanisms of pattern formation during T cell adhesion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
T cells form intriguing patterns during adhesion to antigen-presenting cells. The patterns at the cell-cell contact zone are composed of two types of domains, which either contain short TCR/MHCp receptor-ligand complexes or the longer LFA-1/ICAM-1 ...

Recognition of viral glycoproteins by influenza A-specific cross- reactive cytolytic T lymphocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
Two populations of cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) generated after influenza A virus infection can be distinguished into one with specificity for the sensitizing hemagglutinin type and a second with cross-reactivity for antigens induced by other type-A ...

Identification of two lysosomal membrane glycoproteins

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1985
Two murine lysosome-associated membrane proteins, LAMP-1 of 105,000- 115,000 D and LAMP-2 of 100,000-110,000 D, have been identified by monoclonal antibodies that bind specifically to lysosomal membranes. Both glycoproteins were distinguished as integral

Paramyxovirus Glycoprotein Incorporation, Assembly and Budding: A Three Way Dance for Infectious Particle Production

open access: yesViruses, 2014
Paramyxoviruses are a family of negative sense RNA viruses whose members cause serious diseases in humans, such as measles virus, mumps virus and respiratory syncytial virus; and in animals, such as Newcastle disease virus and rinderpest virus ...

Follicle-stimulating hormone receptor: Advances and remaining challenges [PDF]

open access: yesIn: Arun K. Shukla (ed.), dir., G Protein-Coupled Receptors: Emerging Paradigms in Activation, Signaling and Regulation Part A (p. 1-58). International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology, 338 (1\`ere ed.). USA : Elsevier. 171 p. (2018), 2018
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced in the pituitary and is essential for reproduction. It specifically binds to a membrane receptor (FSHR) expressed in somatic cells of the gonads. The FSH/FSHR system presents many peculiarities compared to classical G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).

Paranodin, a Glycoprotein of Neuronal Paranodal Membranes [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 1997
Ranvier nodes are flanked by paranodal regions, at the level of which oligodendrocytes or Schwann cells interact closely with axons. Paranodes play a critical role in the physiological properties of myelinated nerve fibers. Paranodin, a prominent 180 kDa transmembrane neuronal glycoprotein, was purified and cloned from adult rat brain, and found to be ...

Requirements for Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus Glycoproteins in Assembly and Egress from Infected Cells

open access: yesAdvances in Virology, 2011
Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is an enveloped RNA virus that assembles and buds from the plasma membrane of infected cells. The ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP) must associate with the viral matrix protein and glycoproteins to form newly ...
