The role of calcium in signal transduction relies on the precise spatial and temporal control of its concentration. The existing means to detect fluctuations in Ca2+ concentrations with adequate temporal and spatial resolution are limited. We introduce her ...
Compartmentalization is a defining feature of eukaryotic cells that allows the spatial segregation of different functions, such as protein and lipid synthesis, and ensures their fidelity and efficiency. This imposes the need for an intense flux of metaboli ...
We introduce here a new class of BODIPY-based Ca2+ indicators which can be derivatized with biological ligands that permit the localization of the indicators in living cells. The underivatized BODIPY-based Ca2+ indicator (BOCA-1) shows a 250-fold increase ...
As protein folding is an imperfect process, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contains folding as well as ER-associated degradation (ERAD) machineries. In order to prevent premature interruption of folding, ERAD regulators and effectors such as EDEM1 and OS-9 ...
The efficacy and success of many cellular processes is dependent on a tight orchestration of proteins trafficking to and from their site(s) of action in a time-controlled fashion. Recently, a dynamic cycle of palmitoylation/de-palmitoylation has been shown ...
Coronaviruses (CoV), including SARS and mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), are enveloped RNA viruses that induce formation of double-membrane vesicles (DMVs) and target their replication and transcription complexes (RTCs) on the DMV-limiting membranes. The DMV b ...
Global folding of polypeptides entering the endoplasmic reticulum ( ER) starts as soon as they emerge from the narrow Sec61 translocon. Attainment of the native structure can take from several minutes to hours, depending on the gene product. Until then, no ...
The processing of Winked glycans determines secretory protein homeostasis in the eukaryotic cell. Folding and degradation of glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are regulated by molecular chaperones and enzymes recruited by specific oligosaccha ...
To monitor cellular processes in individual cells, it is important to measure the concentrations of intracellular metabolites and to retrieve them for analysis. The use of functionalized polyelectrolyte microcapsules as intracellular sensors for in vivo re ...
Sophisticated quality control mechanisms prolong retention of protein-folding intermediates in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) until maturation while sorting out terminally misfolded polypeptides for ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The presence of structu ...
