Active Zone Material-Directed Orientation, Docking, and Fusion of Dense Core Vesicles Alongside Synaptic Vesicles at Neuromuscular Junctions

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018
Active zone material is an organelle that is common to active zones along the presynaptic membrane of chemical synapses. Electron tomography on active zones at frog neuromuscular junctions has provided evidence that active zone material directs the ...

Advances in Biological Function and Clinical Application of Small Extracellular Vesicle Membrane Proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2021
Small extracellular vesicles are membrane-bound vesicles secreted into extracellular spaces by virtually all types of cells. These carry a large number of membrane proteins on their surface that are incorporated during their biogenesis in cells.

Membrane Fusion in Vesicles of Oligomerizable Lipids [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 1999
Membrane fusion has been examined in a model system of small unilamellar vesicles of synthetic lipids that can be oligomerized through the lipid headgroups. The oligomerization can be induced either in both bilayer leaflets or in the inner leaflet exclusively.

Generating Giant Membrane Vesicles from Live Cells with Preserved Cellular Properties

open access: yesResearch, 2019
Biomimetic giant membrane vesicles, with size and lipid compositions comparable to cells, have been recognized as an attractive experimental alternative to living systems.

Outer membrane vesicles from bacteria: Role and potential value in the pathogenesis of chronic respiratory diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death in both adults and children, with respiratory infections being the leading cause of death. A growing body of evidence suggests that bacterially released extracellular membrane vesicles play an important ...

Outer membrane vesicle [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2012
Nowadays adjuvants are extensively used as immuno-stimulatory and immuno-modulatory compounds as components of subunit and combination vaccine formulations. The adjuvants of microbial origin are more frequently used among currently used licensed or experimental adjuvants.

Delivery of virulence factors by bacterial membrane vesicles to mammalian host cells

open access: yes, 2020
Bacterial membrane vesicles represent a universal secretion mechanism enabling both Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms to transfer cargo to eukaryotic cells, as well as to other bacterial cells.

The Emp24 complex recruits a specific cargo molecule into endoplasmic reticulum-derived vesicles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Members of the yeast p24 family, including Emp24p and Erv25p, form a heteromeric complex required for the efficient transport of selected proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus.

Theoretical model for the formation of caveolae and similar membrane invaginations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We study a physical model for the formation of bud-like invaginations on fluid lipid membranes under tension, and apply this model to caveolae formation.

Postsynaptic VAMP/Synaptobrevin Facilitates Differential Vesicle Trafficking of GluA1 and GluA2 AMPA Receptor Subunits.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Vertebrate organisms adapt to a continuously changing environment by regulating the strength of synaptic connections between brain cells. Excitatory synapses are believed to increase their strength by vesicular insertion of transmitter glutamate ...
