A highly-sensitive surface fluorescence technique was combined with a powerful method for the oriented reversible immobilization of membrane proteins on oxide surfaces. Affinity and kinetic parameters of the interaction of the receptor and a fluorescent li ...
Tumor necrosis factor TNF can trigger increases in membrane conductance of mammalian cells in a receptor-independent manner via its lectin-like domain. A lectin-deficient TNF mutant, lacking this activity, was able to bind to artificial liposomes in a pH-d ...
GAD67, the larger isoform of the γ-aminobutyric acid-synthesizing enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase, is a hydrophilic soluble molecule, postulated to localize at nerve terminals and membrane compartments by heterodimerization with the smaller membrane-anc ...

Glycoprotein-associated amino acid transporters (gpaAT) are permease-related proteins that require heterodimerization to express their function. So far, four vertebrate gpaATs have been shown to associate with 4F2hc/CD98 for functional expression, whereas ...
Tyrosinase is a type I membrane protein found in melanosomes, which are lysosomal-like organelles and specific for pigment cells. A mutation of mouse tyrosinase, platinum (cp), leads to truncation of tyrosinase's cytosolic tail, and results in misrouting t ...
In this paper, we have investigated the effects of the pore-forming toxin aerolysin, produced by Aeromonas hydrophila, on mammalian cells. Our data indicate that the protoxin binds to an 80-kD glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein on BHK cel ...
Amino acid transport across cellular membranes is mediated by multiple transporters with overlapping specificities. We recently have identified the vertebrate proteins which mediate Na+-independent exchange of large neutral amino acids corresponding to tra ...
Hemodynamic forces affect endothelial cell morphology and function. In particular, circumferential cyclic stretch of blood vessels, due to pressure changes during the cardiac cycle, is known to affect the endothelial cell shape, mediating the alignment of ...
Brucella abortus is an intracellular pathogen that replicates within a membrane-bounded compartment. In this study, we have examined the intracellular pathway of the virulent B. abortus strain 2308 (S2308) and the attenuated strain 19 (S19) in HeLa cells. ...
The screening of ligands for membrane receptor proteins is central to the discovery of new pharmaceutical drugs. We present a general method to reversibly attach receptor proteins via an affinity tag to a quartz surface and subsequently detect with high se ...
