Molecular Conjugates
Molecular conjugates are nanometer-sized entities consisting of synthetic materials (lipids, polycations, targeting agents, and so on) and nucleic... -
Regulation of SNARE assembly by protein phosphorylation
Protein phosphorylation is emerging as an important regulatory mechanism that controls the secretory pathway. It enables coupling between the... -
Molecular mechanisms in clathrin-mediated membrane budding
Clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) form at the plasma membrane where they select cargo for endocytic entry into cells. CCVs also form at the trans-Golgi... -
Tethering proteins in membrane traffic
In eukaryotic cells, protein secretion and the transport of materials between membrane-bounded organelles require efficient and accurate delivery of... -
Regulation of exocytotic events by centrosome-analogous structures
Centrosomes, spindle pole bodies, and related structures, generally termed microtubule organising centres (MTOCs; Pickett-Heaps 1969), are best... -
