"VSports app下载" Abstract

Integral plasma membrane proteins are typically transported in the secretory pathway from the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex. Here we show that at specific stages of Drosophila development corresponding to morphological changes in epithelia, apposed basolateral membranes separate slightly, allowing new plasma membrane contacts with basal extracellular matrix. At these sites, newly synthesized integrin alpha subunits are deposited via a mechanism that appears to bypass the Golgi. We show that the Drosophila Golgi resident protein dGRASP localizes to these membrane domains and that, in the absence of dGRASP, the integrin subunit is retained intracellularly in both follicular and wing epithelia that are found disrupted VSports手机版. We propose that this dGRASP-mediated noncanonical secretion route allows for developmental regulation of integrin function upon epithelial remodeling. We speculate that this mechanism might be used during development as a means of targeting a specific subset of transmembrane proteins to the plasma membrane. .
