  2. 11. Cross-linked Profilin:actin - A tool to study actin dynamics in non-muscle cells

    Author : Staffan Grenklo; Roger Karlsson; Dan Lindholm; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; actin dynamics; profilin; actin; Profilin-actin complex; Cell motility; synaptic vesicle trafficing; Far western; fluorescence microscopy; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The microfilament system, consisting of actin and a number of auxiliary proteins, is fundamental for cell motility. Its dynamic organization depends on receptor-mediated signals, leading to rapid polymerizations and depolymerizations of actin. READ MORE

  4. 12. Coordination of endocytosis at the synaptic periactive zone

    Author : Emma Evergren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Synapse; endocytosis; clathrin; dynamin; amphiphysin; synapsin; intersectin; actin cytoskeleton; immunogold electron microscopy.;

    Abstract : Neurons in the central nervous system communicate via specialized junctions called synapses. Neurotransmitter-filled vesicles are clustered at these junctions, where they are released in response to synaptic activity. To sustain reliable neurotransmission the synaptic vesicles are recycled locally. READ MORE

  5. 13. Membrane-mimetic systems : Novel methods and results from studies of respiratory enzymes

    Author : Gustav Nordlund; Peter Brzezinski; Joachim Heberle; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lipids; membrane proteins; method development; respiration; reconstitution; supported membranes; SNAREs; liposome fusion; lipid-protein interactions; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : The processes localized to biological membranes are of great interest, both from a scientific and pharmaceutical point of view. Understanding aspects such as the detailed mechanism and regulation of these processes requires investigation of the structure and function of the membrane-bound proteins in which they take place.

  6. 14. Morphologican and functional studies on the Drosophila neuromuscular system during postembryonic stages

    Author : Ana Beramendi; Rafael Cantera; Prof. Carlos Dotti; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Drosophila; neuromuscular system; Rel-proteins; fly brain; rhythmic morphology; aging; ; Neurobiology; Neurobiologi;

    Abstract : The nervous system of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has emerged as an excellent model for fundamental neuroscience as well as for biomedical research of human neurological diseases. In this thesis, two aspects of the neuromuscular system have been investigated: the role of the IkB-protein Cactus in the larval neuromuscular junction and the morphology of motor terminals throughout adult life.

  7. 15. Molecular mechanisms controlling dynamin recruitment to sites of endocytosis by SH3-domain containing proteins

    Author : Anna Sundborger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Endocytosis is a general cellular mechanism, which regulates a number of important events, including recycling of synaptic vesicles. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is the best-characterized endocytic pathway in the cell. This internalization process involves the coat protein clathrin, the adaptor protein AP2 and a number of accessory proteins. READ MORE
