Numerical simulation of the viral entry into a cell driven by receptor diffusion [PDF]
, 2021 The present study focuses on the receptor driven endocytosis typical of viral entry into a cell. A locally increased density of receptors at the time of contact between the cell and the virus is necessary in this case. The virus is considered as a substrate with fixed receptors on its surface, whereas the receptors of the host cell are free to move ...

Increased accuracy of ligand sensing by receptor diffusion on cell surface [PDF]
Physical Review E 82, 041902 (2010), 2010 The physical limit with which a cell senses external ligand concentration corresponds to the perfect absorber, where all ligand particles are absorbed and overcounting of same ligand particles does not occur. Here we analyze how the lateral diffusion of receptors on the cell membrane affects the accuracy of sensing ligand concentration.

Cell-surface translational dynamics of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2014 Synapse efficacy heavily relies on the number of neurotransmitter receptors available at a given time. In addition to the equilibrium between the biosynthetic production, exocytic delivery and recycling of receptors on the one hand, and the endocytic ...

Cell surface receptors for CCN proteins [PDF]
Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, 2016 The CCN family (CYR61; CTGF; NOV; CCN1-6; WISP1-3) of matricellular proteins in mammals is comprised of six homologous members that play important roles in development, inflammation, tissue repair, and a broad range of pathological processes including fibrosis and cancer.

Interaction of KSHV with Host Cell Surface Receptors and Cell Entry
Viruses, 2014 Virus entry is a complex process characterized by a sequence of events. Since the discovery of KSHV in 1994, tremendous progress has been made in our understanding of KSHV entry into its in vitro target cells.

Unraveling nanotopography of cell surface receptors [PDF]
, 2019 ABSTRACTCells communicate with their environment via surface receptors, but nanoscopic receptor organization with respect to complex cell surface morphology remains unclear. This is mainly due to a lack of accessible, robust and high-resolution methods.

Molecular recognition of paired receptors in the immune system
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Cell surface receptors are responsible for regulating cellular function on the front line, the cell membrane. Interestingly, accumulating evidence clearly reveals that the members of cell surface receptor families have very similar extracellular ligand ...

Anterograde Trafficking of CXCR4 and CCR2 Receptors in a Prostate Cancer Cell Line
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013 Background: Most prostate cancer-related deaths result from metastasis. CXCR4 and CCR2 are known to govern cellular processes resulting in cell migration, proliferation and survival.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Tumor necrosis factor-associated ligand inducing apoptosis (TRAIL) induces apoptosis through the death receptors (DRs) 4 and 5 expressed on the cell surface. Upon ligand stimulation, death receptors are rapidly internalized through clathrin-dependent and
