Retardation of a surface protein chimera at the cis Golgi

Abstract

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (D4) and the alpha subunit of human chorionic gonadotrophin (alpha hcg) are plasma membrane and secretory proteins, respectively. In the course of studies to understand mechanisms involved in transport along the exocytotic pathway, the ectoplasmic domain of D4 was replaced by the mature polypeptide of alpha hcg, resulting in the membrane anchored chimera, D4 alpha hcg. Surprisingly, when transfected into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, strong perinuclear Golgi staining was predominant, in addition to the expected surface staining. By following the biogenesis and transport of the molecule, it was established that newly synthesized D4 alpha hdg is eventually transported to the cell surface but only after a significant retardation in the Golgi apparatus. The compartment of retardation was identified as the early or cis Golgi, before the medial Golgi, where resistance to endoglycosidase (endo) H is conferred. As a result of the transport retardation of the chimera, we were able to document the appearance of an endo D sensitive intermediate, which is usually too transient to be apparent in normal cells. The retardation of this chimera in the cis Golgi complements our pr...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
