21. Sorting and processing of neutrophil granule proteins
Sammanfattning : The neutrophil granulocytes have a critical role in innate immunity in particular through phagocytosis of microorganisms. Their cytoplasmic granule subsets store digestive enzymes and antibiotic proteins that are released during this event. LÄS MER
22. Mucins, Cystic Fibrosis and PDZ protein interactions
Sammanfattning : Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is caused and characterized by mutations in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene. The dominating feature of the disease is mucus accumulation on mucosal surfaces, but no direct functional connection between mucus and CFTR is known. LÄS MER
23. A model for membrane organization and protein sorting in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
Sammanfattning : Cyanobacteria constitute a unique group of eubacteria, possessing outer and plasma membranes as well as internal thylakoid membranes, the site for both photosynthesis and respiration. The combination of sucrose density centrifugation and two-phase partitioning methods leads to purification of different membranes from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. LÄS MER
24. Sorting and Import of Plant Mitochondrial Precursor Proteins
Sammanfattning : The mitochondrial genome encodes only a handful of the mitochondrial proteins; hundreds of mitochondrial proteins are encoded in the nucleus, synthesised on cytosolic polyribosomes and subsequently imported into the organelle. Most of the proteins targeted to the mitochondria are synthesised as precursors with an N-terminal extension called presequence or targeting sequence. LÄS MER
25. Studies of amyloid precursor protein trafficking and processing
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of neurodegenerative disease that slowly impairs memory and thinking abilities. Abnormal accumulation and aggregation of amyloid β peptides (Aβ), derived from proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), is thought to be one of the critical triggers in the pathogenesis.
