| T1 |
0-100 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Reconstitution of membranes simulating "glycosignaling domain" and their susceptibility to lyso-GM3. |
| T2 |
101-423 |
Sentence |
denotes |
GM3 ganglioside at the surface of mouse melanoma B16 cells is clustered and organized with signal transducer molecules c-Src, Rho A, and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) to form a membrane unit separable from caveolae, which are enriched in cholesterol and caveolin but do not contain GM3 or the above three signal transducers. |
| T3 |
424-642 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The GM3-enriched membrane units are involved in GM3-dependent cell adhesion coupled with activation of c-Src, Rho A, and FAK and are termed the "glycosphingolipid signaling domain" or the "glycosignaling domain" (GSD). |
| T4 |
643-859 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In order to assess the essential components that display GSD function, membranes with properties similar to those of GSD were reconstituted using GM3, sphingomyelin, and c-Src, with or without other lipid components. |
| T5 |
860-1059 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The reconstituted membrane thus prepared displayed GM3-dependent adhesion to plates coated with Gg3 or anti-GM3 antibody, resulting in enhanced c-Src phosphorylation (c-Src phosphorylation response). |
| T6 |
1060-1234 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This response in reconstituted membrane depends on GM3 concentration and was not observed when GM3 was absent or replaced with other gangliosides GM1 or GD1a, or with LacCer. |
| T7 |
1235-1349 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The GM3-dependent c-Src phosphorylation response was enhanced when cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine were added. |
| T8 |
1350-1530 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Although GM3, sphingomyelin, and c-Src are essential for GSD function, a small quantity of cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine may act as an auxiliary factor to stabilize membrane. |
| T9 |
1531-1719 |
Sentence |
denotes |
GSD function in terms of GM3-dependent adhesion and signaling was blocked in the presence of lyso-GM3 or its analogue but not psychosine, lactosyl-sphingosine, or lyso-phosphatidylcholine. |
| T10 |
1720-1839 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Such susceptibility of reconstituted GSD to lyso-GM3 and other lyso compounds is the same as GSD of original B16 cells. |
| T11 |
1840-2025 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Thus, functional organization of the reconstituted membrane closely simulates that of GSD in B16 cells, which is based on clustered GM3 organized with c-Src as the essential components. |
