Cellular uptake of an α-helical amphipathic model peptide with the potential to deliver polar compounds into the cell interior non-endocytically

TL;DR: Evidence that multiple, probably non-endocytic mechanisms are involved in the uptake into mammalian cells of the alpha-helical amphipathic model peptide FLUOS-KLALKLALKALKAALKLA-NH2 (I) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of tight junction: determinants of homophilic interaction between classic claudins

TL;DR: The claudin‐claudin interaction and tight junction strand formation were investigated using systematic single mutations and an antiparallel homodimer homology model of the loop led to a novel molecular concept for tight junction formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

c-FLIP Mediates Resistance of Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg Cells to Death Receptor–induced Apoptosis

TL;DR: Despite expression of other NF-κB–dependent antiapoptotic proteins, the selective down-regulation of c-FLIP by small interfering RNA oligoribonucleotides was sufficient to sensitize HRS cells to CD95 and tumor necrosis factor–related apoptosis-inducing ligand–induced apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

AKAP complex regulates Ca2+ re‐uptake into heart sarcoplasmic reticulum

TL;DR: This work has identified a supramolecular complex consisting of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+‐ATPase, its negative regulator phospholamban, the A‐kinase anchoring protein AKAP 18δ and PKA, and shows that AKAP18δ acts as a scaffold that coordinates PKA phosphorylation of PLN and the adrenergic effect on Ca2- re‐uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels on the flagellum control Ca2+ entry into sperm.

TL;DR: It is shown that the CNG channels serve as a Ca2+ entry pathway that responds more sensitively to cGMP than to cAMP, and dissimilar localization of α and β subunits may give rise to a pattern of Ca2- microdomains along the flagellum, thereby providing the structural basis for control ofFlagellar bending waves.
