Plasma membrane insertion

C1C-6 is a late endosomal chloride transporter. Its disruption in mice led to lysosomal storage disease. C1C-7 is expressed in late endosomes and lysosomes. It needs Ostml as (3-subunit [3]. The disruption of either C1C-7 or Ostml in mice and man leads to severe osteopetrosis, retinal degeneration, and a severe lysosomal storage disease. ClC-7/Ostml is highly expressed in osteoclasts. In these cells, it is inserted together with the proton pump into the specialized plasma membrane ( ruffled border ) that faces the reabsorption lacuna. Osteoclasts are still present in C1C-7 knockout... [Pg.372]

Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels are membrane-inserted protein complexes, which form potassium-selective pores that are gated by changes in the potential across the membrane. The potassium current flow through the open channel follows by the electrochemical gradient as defined by the Nernst equation. In general, Kv channels are localized in the plasma membrane. [Pg.1308]

In addition to the membrane-inserted core domain of Kv channels, their cytoplasmic domains have important roles for Kv-channel function [5]. Many of these functions are related to subunits assembly, channel trafficking to and from the plasma membrane, and interactions with cytoskeletal components (Fig. la). A tetramerization (T) domain for subunit assembly has been well defined in Shaker-channels, where it is localized in the amino-terminus. Other Kv-channels (e.g., eag, HERG, KvLQTl) may have comparable domains within the cytoplasmic carboxy-terminus. ER retention and retrieval signals have been found... [Pg.1309]

Most proteins that are synthesized on membrane-bound polyribosomes and are destined for the Golgi apparatus or plasma membrane reach these sites inside transport vesicles. The precise mechanisms by which proteins synthesized in the rough ER are inserted into these vesicles are not known. Those involved in transport from the ER to the Golgi apparatus and vice versa—and from the Golgi to the plasma membrane— are mainly clathrin-free, unlike the coated vesicles involved in endocytosis (see discussions of the LDL receptor in Chapters 25 and 26). For the sake of clarity, the non-clathrin-coated vesicles will be referred to in... [Pg.508]
