Paranodin, a Glycoprotein of Neuronal Paranodal Membranes [PDF]
Neuron, 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 ...

Membrane Glycoproteins of Enveloped Viruses
, 1978 This chapter focuses on the recent information of the glycoprotein components of enveloped viruses and points out specific findings on viral envelopes. Although enveloped viruses of different major groups vary in size and shape, as well as in the molecular weight of their structural polypeptides, there are general similarities in the types of ...

Why enveloped viruses need cores -- the contribution of a nucleocapsid core to viral budding [PDF]
, 2017 During the alphavirus lifecycle, a nucleocapsid core buds through the cell membrane to acquire an outer envelope of lipid membrane and viral glycoproteins. However, the presence of a nucleocapsid core is not required for assembly of infectious particles.

Attaining scalable storage-expansion dualism for bioartificial tissues [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The untenable dependence of cryopreservation on cytotoxic cryoprotectants has motivated the mining of biochemical libraries to identify molecular features marking cryoprotectants that may prevent ice crystal growth. It is hypothesized that such molecules may be useful across all temperatures eliminating cellular destruction due to equilibration ...

Design principles for the glycoprotein quality control pathway [PDF]
, 2020 Newly-translated glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) often undergo cycles of chaperone binding and release in order to assist in folding. Quality control is required to distinguish between proteins that have completed native folding, those that have yet to fold, and those that have misfolded.

Towards Understanding KSHV Fusion and Entry
Viruses, 2019 How viruses enter cells is of critical importance to pathogenesis in the host and for treatment strategies. Over the last several years, the herpesvirus field has made numerous and thoroughly fascinating discoveries about the entry of alpha-, beta-, and ...

Temperature Dependence of the Viscoelastic Properties of a Natural Gastropod Mucus by Brillouin Light Scattering Spectroscopy [PDF]
, 2023 Brillouin spectroscopy was used to probe the viscoelastic properties of a natural gastropod mucus at GHz frequencies over the range -11 $^\circ$C $\leq T \leq$ 52 $^\circ$C. Anomalies in the temperature dependence of mucus longitudinal acoustic mode peak parameters and associated viscoelastic properties at $T = -2.5^\circ$C, together with the ...
