Calcium And Proteasomal Regulation Of Er-To-Golgi Protein Transport In Neurons, Samuel A. Galindo
Calcium And Proteasomal Regulation Of Er-To-Golgi Protein Transport In Neurons, Samuel A. Galindo
Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts
Regulatory mechanisms of protein trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are critical to understand since neurodegenerative diseases involve defects in this process leading to chronic ER stress and cell death. This study aimed to better understand the calcium regulatory mechanisms of ER-to-Golgi trafficking in hybrid neuroglioblastoma cells (NG108). Specifically, we asked whether proteasomal degradation of transport machinery was involved in the previously demonstrated upregulation of ER-to-Golgi transport evoked by calcium signaling. Based upon previous literature, we believe that the calcium induced increase in transport is due to the activation of the calcium sensitive regulatory protein apoptosis linked gene 2 (ALG-2) …

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers
The endoplasmic reticulum performs multiple functions in the eurkaryotic cell: biomolecule synthesis, protein folding, cargo sorting and secretion, and helping to maintain cellular calcium homeostasis. Though much has been discovered about these processes and the myriad proteins, enzymes, transcription factors, ions and other factors that play their own parts, much is still left to learn. To facilitate continued study of ER-to-Golgi transport, an array of genetically-encoded fluorescent tools are available to researchers. The featured review in Chapter 1 details the history of these tools and highlights some of the newest, which also incorporate information from the fields of synthetic chemistry …
