...Kazutoshi Takebayashi; Yoichiro Kamimura; Masahiro Ueda ABSTRACT The lateral diffusion of transmembrane proteins on plasma membranes is a fundamental process for various cellular functions. Diffusion properties specific for individual protein species have been extensively studied, but the common...

... Lateral diffusion Connexin 43 (Cx43) is one of 21 members of the human connexin family and assembles into gap junctions (GJs) in over 35 distinct cell types (Laird, 2006 ; Sohl and Willecke, 2003). GJs (often called gap-junction plaques) are dense clusters of porous intercellular channels...

... segregation of membrane cargo into ER vesicles. We also found that VAPA inhibited lateral diffusion of membrane proteins, most likely through its stable association with microtubules. The MSP domain of VAP is known to interact with the FFAT motif (two phenylalanines in an acidic tract) of proteins involved...

... by a summary of the evidence for membrane domains obtained in my laboratory. This evidence is largely based on measurements of the lateral diffusion of membrane proteins and lipids. Recent new approaches to the interpretation of lateral diffusion measurements, consideration of so-called fractal or long time...
