Modulation of membrane cholesterol levels: effects on endothelial cell function.

Abstract:

:The endothelial cell lining of blood vessels is now recognized as an active interface between blood and the underlying tissue. Modulation of cholesterol levels in several cell types has resulted in altered cell function. We have removed cholesterol from the endothelial cell membrane and have observed corresponding alterations in endothelial cell function. Following depletion of cholesterol from the endothelial cells, polymorphonuclear leukocyte adhesion to the cells was decreased. Angiotensin-converting enzyme activity of the endothelial cells was increased following removal of cholesterol from the endothelial cell membranes. The results of fluorescence polarization measurements suggest that these changes may be partially explained by altered membrane order.

  • A RanBP1 mutation which does not visibly affect nuclear import may reveal additional functions of the ran GTPase system.

    abstract::Ran, a nuclear GTPase, and a number of interacting proteins, including regulators RanGEF1 and RanGAP1, are involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport. We have identified a new temperature-sensitive mutation in budding yeast YRB1 gene, which encodes Ran-binding protein-1 (RanBP1). In contrast to other yrb1 alleles, the ne...
