Annexin A2 Mediates Dysferlin Accumulation and Muscle Cell Membrane Repair by Daniel C. Bittel, Goutam Chandra, Laxmi M. S. Tirunagri, Arun B. Deora, Sushma Medikayala, Luana Scheffer, Aurelia Defour, Jyoti K. Jaiswal

“…Here, we have studied the mechanism of AnxA2-mediated muscle cell membrane repair in cultured muscle cells. We find that injury-triggered increase in cytosolic calcium causes AnxA2 to bind dysferlin and accumulate on dysferlin-containing vesicles as well as with dysferlin at the site of membrane injury. …”

Microbubble-based enhancement of radiation effect: Role of cell membrane ceramide metabolism. by Azza Al-Mahrouki, Anoja Giles, Amr Hashim, Hyunjung Christina Kim, Ahmad El-Falou, Dean Rowe-Magnus, Golnaz Farhat, Gregory J Czarnota

“…The molecular pathways in this response remain unelucidated, however, previous data has supported a role for cell membrane-metabolism related pathways including an up regulation of UDP glycosyltransferase 8 (UGT8), which catalyzes the transfer of galactose to ceramide, a lipid that is associated with the induction of apoptotic signalling. …”

Distinct interactions stabilize EGFR dimers and higher-order oligomers in cell membranes by Krishna C. Mudumbi, Eric A. Burns, David J. Schodt, Zaritza O. Petrova, Anatoly Kiyatkin, Lucy W. Kim, Emma M. Mangiacapre, Irais Ortiz-Caraveo, Hector Rivera Ortiz, Chun Hu, Kumar D. Ashtekar, Keith A. Lidke, Diane S. Lidke, Mark A. Lemmon

“…How these dimers relate to higher-order EGFR oligomers seen in cell membranes, however, remains unclear. Here, we used single-particle tracking (SPT) and Förster resonance energy transfer imaging to examine how each domain of EGFR contributes to receptor oligomerization and the rate of receptor diffusion in the cell membrane. …”
