Subzonal organization of olfactory sensory neurons projecting to distinct glomeruli within the mouse olfactory bulb.
Authors:Levai O, Breer H, Strotmann J
Journal:J Comp Neurol
PubMed ID:12619077
'Olfactory sensory neurons located in the nasal neuroepithelium send their axons directly into the olfactory bulb, where they contact the dendrites of second-order neurons in specialized spherical structures called glomeruli; each sensory neuron projects to a single glomerulus. All neurons expressing the same odorant receptor gene are confined to distinct ... More
Direct membrane protein-DNA interactions required early in nuclear envelope assembly.
Authors:Ulbert S, Platani M, Boue S, Mattaj IW
Journal:J Cell Biol
PubMed ID:16717124
'Among the earliest events in postmitotic nuclear envelope (NE) assembly are the interactions between chromatin and the membranes that will fuse to form the NE. It has been proposed that interactions between integral NE proteins and chromatin proteins mediate initial membrane recruitment to chromatin. We show that several transmembrane NE ... More
Antigen-induced translocation of PKC-theta to membrane rafts is required for T cell activation.
Authors:Bi K, Tanaka Y, Coudronniere N, Sugie K, Hong S, van Stipdonk MJ, Altman A
Journal:Nat Immunol
PubMed ID:11376344
'Protein kinase C-theta (PKC-theta) is essential for mature T cell activation; however, the mechanism by which it is recruited to the TCR signaling machinery is unknown. Here we show that T cell stimulation by antibodies or peptide-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) induces translocation of PKC-theta to membrane lipid rafts, which localize ... More
Beta-very low density lipoprotein is sequestered in surface-connected tubules in mouse peritoneal macrophages.
Authors:Myers JN, Tabas I, Jones NL, Maxfield FR
Journal:J Cell Biol
PubMed ID:8253839
'beta-very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) is a large lipoprotein with multiple apoprotein E (apoE) molecules that bind to the LDL receptors on mouse macrophages. Even though they bind to the same receptor, the endocytic processing of beta-VLDL differs from low density lipoprotein (LDL). LDL is rapidly delivered to perinuclear lysosomes ... More
Regulation of C-cadherin function during activin induced morphogenesis of Xenopus animal caps.
Authors:Brieher WM, Gumbiner BM
Journal:J Cell Biol
PubMed ID:8034750
'Treatment of Xenopus animal pole tissue with activin results in the induction of mesodermal cell types and a dramatic elongation of the tissue. The morphogenetic movements involved in the elongation appear similar to those in normal gastrulation, which is driven by cell rearrangement and cell intercalations. We have used this ... More
