Riding shotgun: a dual role for the epidermal growth factor-Cripto/FRL-1/Cryptic protein Cripto in Nodal trafficking

Daniel Constam

Nodal is a secreted protein of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) family that activates Smad2 and Smad3 transcription factors through complexes of type I and type II activin receptors and glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-anchored coreceptors of the ...

Endosomal Trafficking Of Ampa-Type Glutamate Receptors

Many different forms of synaptic plasticity have been shown to ultimately modulate the number of AMPA-type glutamate receptors at the synapse. This trafficking involves lateral movements between synaptic and extrasynaptic sites at the neuron surface, as we ...

Calpain hydrolysis of alpha- and beta2-adaptins decreases clathrin-dependent endocytosis and may promote neurodegeneration

Harald Hirling

Clathrin-dependent endocytosis is mediated by a tightly regulated network of molecular interactions that provides essential protein-protein and protein-lipid binding activities. Here we report the hydrolysis of the alpha- and beta2-subunits of the tetramer ...

Elastic membrane heterogeneity of living cells revealed by stiff nanoscale membrane domains

Giovanni Dietler, Paolo De Los Rios, Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Sandor Kasas, Charles Roduit, Alexandre Yersin, Pascal Steiner

Many approaches have been developed to characterize the heterogeneity of membranes in living cells. In this study, the elastic properties of specific membrane domains in living cells are characterized by atomic force microscopy. Our data reveal the existen ...

Membrane elastic heterogeneity studied at nanometrical scale on living cells

Charles Roduit

The aim of this thesis was to explore the cell mechanical properties using the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The cell membrane contains lipids microdomains, called rafts, enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids. The rafts are believed to play an importa ...
