Artificial Transmembrane Signalling
… In this dissertation, an indirect artificial transmembrane signalling mechanism which operates by controlled translocation of a synthetic transducer across the lipid bilayer was investigated. The fundamental concept of the translocation mechanism is the switching of membrane-permeability of …

Investigating transmembrane TNF and transmembrane p55TNFR mediated signaling in host immune function during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
The importance of TNF-TNFR signaling in immunity against M. tuberculosis has been established. The aims of this study were to characterize the functions of membrane-bound TNF (Tm-TNF) and soluble TNF (solTNF) and to investigate the role of membrane-bound p55TNFR signaling as well as the in vivo …

A Transmembrane Precursor of Secretory Component
… not as soluble secretory forms, but as larger transmembrane forms that are core glycosylated and asymmetrically integrated into the dog pancreas microsomal vesicles with an 11-15 kilodalton domain remaining in the cytoplasm. We studied the biosynthesis and processing of human SC in a cell-free …

Structural Basis of Bacterial Transmembrane Signaling
… molecular dynamics simulation data suggest that transmembrane signaling in McpZ involves both piston-type and scissoring movements. These findings contribute to a broader understanding of bacterial chemotaxis signaling. GacS is a central component of the GacS/GacA phosphorelay system, positioned …

Junction Specificity and Transmembrane Linkages of Integrins
We have also isolated a monoclonal antibody, P4B2, which localizes to multiple adhesion junctions, namely, a subset of focal adhesions, the Z-disc of muscle, and neuromuscular junctions. Immunopurification of the antigen to this antibody from chicken brain tissue yielded a complex of three …

The design of synthetic transmembrane carriers for anions
… of novel receptors found to facilitate the transmembrane transport of anions in synthetic vesicle systems. A series of structurally simple thioureas were found to function as efficient Cl-/NO3- and Cl-/HCO3- antiporters while the corresponding ureas were inactive. Of these receptors, a …

Signaling of integrin lower leg and transmembrane domains
… clear how this signal is transmitted from the transmembrane domain through two long extracellular legs to the ligand-binding headpiece. In addition, integrin TM homomeric association was also observed. But the role of this interaction remains elusive. In this work, the platelet integrin, …

Artificial Transmembrane Signalling and Cooperativity in H-Bonded Networks
… two areas, with a first project on artificial transmembrane signalling, and a second on cooperativity in hydrogen bonded networks. Cells rely on complex signal cascades where proteins are responsible for the transmission and amplification of chemical signals across membranes. While numerous …

The Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator: Regulation by HSP-90
<p>The hypothesis of this project is that a functionally relevant association exists between CFTR and Hsp90. In testing this hypothesis, (a) the association of CFTR and Hsp90 is confirmed via crosslinking and immunoprecipitation of CFTR from stably transfected HEK-293 cells, electrophoretic …

EFFECT OF CRYOPROTECTANT EQUILIBRATION ON TRANSMEMBRANE POTENTIAL OF BOVINE OOCYTES
… osmotically induced volume perturbation on the transmembrane potential of bovine oocytes. The aim of this study was to evaluate and examine the difference in putative effects of non-permeating (PBS) and permeating (10% EG) solutions and to explore the association between osmotically induced …

Biochemical Analysis of SNARE Protein Interactions – Role of Transmembrane Domain
SNARE (soluble NSF attachment protein receptor) Proteine umfassen verschiedene Familien von Proteinen, welche in Eukaryonten von der Hefe bis hin zum Menschen vorkommen. Sie sind für die Membranfusion bei zellulären Prozessen, wie Vesikeltransport, Neurotransmitterausschüttung oder …

Requirements for cleavage and function of the transmembrane chemokine fractalkine/CX3CL1
… CX3CL1 (fractalkine) is described existing as a transmembrane and a soluble molecule. The generation of this soluble CX3CL1 molecule occurs upon ectodomain shedding by metalloproteinases, in particular by ADAM10. By binding to the receptor CX3CR1 the transmembrane CX3CL1 mediates adhesion and …

Polymer Supported Lipid Bilayer Membranes for the Integration of Transmembrane Proteins
… for the successful integration of functional transmembrane proteins (TMPs). As each cushion exhibits different physico-chemical properties, the resulting behaviour of the sLBMs and TMPs could be exactly adjusted to the specific requirements of biological samples. This is exemplarily shown by …

CHARACTERIZATION OF TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEIN 35 EXPRESSION: CONSIDERATIONS OF SEX AND OVARIAN HORMONES
<p>The recently discovered novel neuropeptide transmembrane protein 35 (TMEM35), is believed to modulate chemical signaling within the nervous system. Notably, the TMEM35 protein is detectable in humans, non-human primates and rodents, suggesting a conserved and critical function. Despite this, the …

Requirements for leukocyte transendothelial migration via the transmembrane chemokines CX3CL1 and CXCL16
… cell recruitment. CX3CL1 and CXCL16 are transmembrane surface proteins on endothelial cells inducing firm adhesion of leukocytes via the interaction with their receptors. After shedding from the cell surface by the metalloproteinases ADAM10 and ADAM17, they act as soluble chemoattractants …

NUCLEAR ENVELOPE TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEIN DISTRIBUTION AND TRANSPORT STUDIED BY SINGLE-MOLECULE MICROSCOPY
… nucleus and cytoplasm by forming a barrier. NE transmembrane proteins (NETs) embedded in either the outer nuclear membrane (ONM) or the inner nuclear membrane (INM) play crucial roles in both nuclear structure and functions, including: genome architecture, epigenetics, transcription, splicing, …

Conformation of Transmembrane Segments of a Protein by a Coarse Grain Model
… by the cooperative response of different transmembrane segments of the protein. It is believed that the two subunits of the C-terminal dimer provide independent proton channel pathways through the membrane where the conformations of both monomers and dimer are key for selective proton …
