Cytokinesis is the last step of cell division that partitions the cellular organelles and cytoplasm of one cell into two. In animal cells, cytokinesis requires Rho-GTPase-dependent assembly of F-actin and myosin II (actomyosin) to form an equatorial ...

Endothelial Cell Behavior Is Determined by Receptor Clustering Induced by Thrombospondin-1
The thrombospondins (TSPs) are a family of multimeric extracellular matrix proteins that dynamically regulate cellular behavior and response to stimuli.

ER-Mitochondria contact sites : a new regulator of cellular calcium flux comes into play [PDF]
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria membrane contacts are hotspots for calcium signaling. In this issue, Raturi et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201512077) show that the thioredoxin TMX1 inhibits the calcium pump SERCA2b at ...

Flagellar membrane association via interaction with lipid rafts [PDF]
The eukaryotic flagellar membrane has a distinct composition from other domains of the plasmalemma. Our work shows that the specialized composition of the trypanosome flagellar membrane reflects increased concentrations of sterols and saturated fatty ...

Membrane-Sculpting BAR Domains Generate Stable Lipid Microdomains
Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs (BAR) domain proteins are central regulators of many cellular processes involving membrane dynamics. BAR domains sculpt phosphoinositide-rich membranes to generate membrane protrusions or invaginations.

Cholesterol influences membrane fluidity and forms membrane microdomains called lipid rafts that serve as organizing centers for the assembly of signaling molecules. Flotillin (FLOT) is a cholesterol-binding lipid-raft 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.

Cholesterol dependence of HTLV-I infection [PDF]
Cholesterol-rich plasma membrane microdomains are important for entry of many viruses, including retro-viruses. Depletion of cholesterol with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inhibits entry of human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) and HTLV-I envelope

Plasmodesmata –intercellular channels that communicate adjacent cells– possess complex membranous structures. Recent evidences indicate that plasmodesmata contain membrane microdomains. In order to understand how these submembrane regions collaborate to
