Type IV pili component PilV can trigger cell membrane reorganization and by this way enhances bacterial cohesion [2].
Although Brucella-infected human macrophagic phagocytes did not release NO in commonly used models of infection, the machinery required to produce NO was expressed in these cells and could be triggered by cell membrane receptors present on the infected cells.
In agreement with autophagy playing a role in membrane repair, membrane fusion has been shown to act as a danger signal that, when recognized by STING, also triggers cell autonomous immune responses and cell survival (Holm et al., 2012).
Structural analysis of cells using electron microscopy demonstrated that killerFLIP-E triggers cell death accompanied by rapid (within minutes) plasma membrane permeabilization.
BARs induce membrane curvature de novo by triggering membrane deformation, which then triggers binding of additional BARs, generating a positive feedback loop of curvature proliferation.
Through this property, altered NB adsorbed onto the cell membrane may interact with molecules such as membrane receptors, as suggested by Lee et al. [ 26], or other molecules, to trigger cell responses via catalytic properties of bare CeO2.
Jaillais, Y. et al. Tyrosine phosphorylation controls brassinosteroid receptor activation by triggering membrane release of its kinase inhibitor.
Our results support the idea that certain nutrients like glucose can directly stimulate L cells by triggering a cascade of membrane depolarization, action potential firing, and voltage-dependent Ca2+ entry.
Then, Shewanella adsorbed the gold ions, and nucleation was triggered on the cell membrane layer by layer, while higher biomass blocked the nucleation.
The present study aimed to test whether indoxyl sulfate exposure triggers eryptosis, the suicidal erythrocyte death, which is characterized by cell shrinkage and by cell membrane scrambling.
