  • DEC-205 (CD205), a member of the macrophage mannose receptor protein family, is the prototypic endocytic receptor of dendritic cells, whose ligands include phosphorothioated cytosine-guanosine (CpG) oligonucleotides, a motif often seen in bacterial or viral DNA. (uci.edu)
  • Furthermore, macrophages were shown to contribute to a niche that can support and maintain a breast CSC (BCSC) phenotype through heterotypic CD90/EphA4 signaling between macrophage and tumor cell 14 . (nature.com)
  • This protein is required for many aspects of membrane traffic within neurons, including the elaboration of neurites, but the release of neurotransmitter at the synapse is independent of this exocyst component (Murthy, 2003). (sdbonline.org)
  • Its N-acetylneuraminic necroptosis regulates a valuable role structural signaling how the transheterophilic number activation of the proteins serves heard once in translation. (erik-mill.de)
  • Despite its emerging role as a key structural and signaling platform, the plant NE remains one of the least understood membrane systems. (brookes.ac.uk)
  • Structural alterations in the nasal epithelium include goblet cell hyperplasia, squamous metaplasia, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), epithelial barrier disruption, epithelial exfoliation, and basement membrane thickening. (molcells.org)
  • Our dataset of proteomics, images, and polarity indexes provides a valuable source of information for a broad community of scientists interested in the molecular mechanisms regulating cell polarity. (bvsalud.org)
  • It is important to understand the functions and regulatory mechanisms of protein lipidation, which will advance our understanding of their pathological relevance, leading to strategies for targeting protein lipidation for therapeutic applications. (life-science-alliance.org)
  • The beta cells closely control the release, and use unusual mechanisms to do so. (cloudfront.net)
  • Cancer stem cells (CSCs) play an important role during metastasis, but the dynamic behavior and induction mechanisms of CSCs are not well understood. (nature.com)
  • The virus lifecycle and how it uses components of vesicular pathways while shuttling to the cell surface, turned Simons' attention toward vesicular transport pathways and cell polarization. (wikipedia.org)
  • Within neurons, multiple pathways are known to transport proteins and transmitters to the cell surface. (sdbonline.org)
  • Another distinction that has been drawn contrasts the constitutive and the regulated pathways to distinguish the ongoing transport of protein and lipid to the cell surface from the ability to secrete hormones and transmitters in response to specific stimuli. (sdbonline.org)
  • Subsequently, further distinctions in trafficking pathways have been invoked to explain different forms of regulation and fusion at different domains of the cell. (sdbonline.org)
  • Plasmid stabilization/stability protein-encoding genes were observed in some plasmids but were not established for participating in plasmid segregation. (frontiersin.org)
  • The identification of genes involved in replication, segregation, toxin-antitoxin systems and conjugation, would aid the design of drugs to prevent the survival or transmission of plasmids carrying pathogenic properties. (frontiersin.org)
  • Genes are simply lengths of DNA that contain the code for a particular protein product, which the DNA delivers to the cell's protein-assembly machinery through the molecule RNA (ribonucleic acid). (sciencing.com)
  • To confirm the specificity online pharmacy fedex zebeta of staining repayment for each protein, immunostaining controls included absence of primary antibody and reaction of separate tissue sections with weird primary antibodies in the same immunostaining reaction. (centralparkcarriagesofficial.org)
  • Lipid-specific oligomerization of the Marburg virus matrix protein VP40 is regulated by two distinct interfaces for virion assembly. (uci.edu)
  • We are to be and digitize more severe compounds converting potential releasing cAMP and surfaces( significant membranes, be, synthesis), and lightly provide how to be events and sugar receptor. (erik-mill.de)
  • The main cell type of the main olfactory epithelium is the olfactory receptor, a specialized neuron type. (uvigo.es)
  • An electron-dense granule defined by the presence of Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), termed the T granule, has also been described, although its existence remains controversial. (cloudfront.net)
  • Here we describe the 3.2 Å cryo-EM structure of human DEC-205, thereby illuminating the structure of the mannose receptor protein family. (uci.edu)
