During yeast stationary phase, a single spherical vacuole (lysosome) is created by the fusion of several small ones. Moreover, the vacuolar membrane is reconstructed into two distinct microdomains.

Palmitoylation of Desmoglein 2 Is a Regulator of Assembly Dynamics and Protein Turnover. [PDF]
Desmosomes are prominent adhesive junctions present between many epithelial cells as well as cardiomyocytes. The mechanisms controlling desmosome assembly and remodeling in epithelial and cardiac tissue are poorly understood.

An overview about erythrocyte membrane [PDF]
© 2010 – IOS Press and the authors. All rights reservedIn the sixties and seventies, erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs) were extensively studied. Much has been learnt particularly concerning their metabolism and gas transporter function. In the past

Recent advances in mathematical modeling and statistical analysis of exocytosis in endocrine cells [PDF]
open5noMost endocrine cells secrete hormones as a result of Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis, i.e., fusion of the membranes of hormone-containing secretory granules with the cell membrane, which allows the hormone molecules to escape to the extracellular ...

The Role of Lipids in Retrovirus Replication
Retroviruses undergo several critical steps to complete a replication cycle. These include the complex processes of virus entry, assembly, and budding that often take place at the plasma membrane of the host cell.

Atypical protein kinase C (PKCzeta/lambda) is a convergent downstream target of the insulin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and TC10 signaling pathways. [PDF]
Insulin stimulation of adipocytes resulted in the recruitment of atypical PKC (PKCzeta/lambda) to plasma membrane lipid raft microdomains. This redistribution of PKCzeta/lambda was prevented by Clostridium difficile toxin B and by cholesterol depletion ...

The Mitochondrial Ca(2+) Uniporter: Structure, Function, and Pharmacology. [PDF]
Mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake is crucial for an array of cellular functions while an imbalance can elicit cell death. In this chapter, we briefly reviewed the various modes of mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake and our current understanding of mitochondrial Ca(2+)

Rubber (cis-1,4-polyisoprene) is produced in cytosolic unilamellar vesicles called rubber particles (RPs), and the protein complex responsible for this synthesis, the rubber transferase (RTase), is embedded in, or tethered to, the membranes of these RPs.

Kinetics and cellular site of glycolipid loading control [PDF]
CD1d-restricted natural killer T cells (NKT cells) possess a wide range of effector and regulatory activities that are related to their ability to secrete both T helper 1 (Th1) cell- and Th2 cell-type cytokines.
