Presence and Function of Dopamine Transporter (DAT) in Stallion Sperm : Dopamine Modulates Sperm Motility and Acrosomal Integrity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dopamine is a catecholamine with multiple physiological functions, playing a key role in nervous system; however its participation in reproductive processes and sperm physiology is controversial.

A Continuum Poisson-Boltzmann Model for Membrane Channel Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Membrane proteins constitute a large portion of the human proteome and perform a variety of important functions as membrane receptors, transport proteins, enzymes, signaling proteins, and more. The computational studies of membrane proteins are usually much more complicated than those of globular proteins.

The cell wall regulates dynamics and size of plasma-membrane nanodomains in Arabidopsis

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance The plant plasma membrane acts as the front line for cellular perception of the environment. As such, signaling and transport proteins which perceive or transport environmental signals, developmental cues, and nutrients are located within it.

Stability Analysis of a Bulk-Surface Reaction Model for Membrane-Protein Clustering [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Protein aggregation on the plasma membrane (PM) is of critical importance to many cellular processes such as cell adhesion, endocytosis, fibrillar conformation, and vesicle transport. Lateral diffusion of protein aggregates or clusters on the surface of the PM plays an important role in governing their heterogeneous surface distribution.

Pearling instability of membrane tubes driven by curved proteins and actin polymerization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Membrane deformation inside living cells is crucial for the proper shaping of various intracellular organelles and is necessary during the fission/fusion processes that allow membrane recycling and transport (e.g. endocytosis). Proteins that induce membrane curvature play a key role in such processes, mostly by adsorbing to the membrane and forming a ...

Sex differences in intestinal morphology and increase in diencephalic neuropeptide Y gene expression in female but not male Pekin ducks exposed to chronic heat stress

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract The impact of heat stress (HS) on production is intricately linked with feed intake. We investigated the effects of HS on intestines and diencephalic genes in Pekin ducks. One hundred and sixty adult ducks were allocated to two treatment rooms.

Renal nerve stimulation leads to the activation of the Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 3 via angiotensin II type I receptor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Renal nerve stimulation at a low frequency (below 2 Hz) causes water and sodium reabsorption via alpha(1)-adrenoreceptor tubular activation, a process independent of changes in systemic blood pressure, renal blood flow, or glomerular filtration rate ...

ORP5 and ORP8 bind phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-biphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) and regulate its level at the plasma membrane

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
ORP5 and ORP8, members of the oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins (ORP) family, are endoplasmic reticulum membrane proteins implicated in lipid trafficking.
