    Abstract In this book, the major paradigm-shifting discoveries made in the past century on key cellular nanomachines are described in great detail: their complex yet precise and elegant design and function, as well as the diseases linked to their dysfunction and the therapeutic approaches to overcome them. The major focus of this book is the “porosome” nanomachine, the universal secretory portal in cells. This is an ideal book for students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

    Abstract Secretory vesicle swelling has been demonstrated to be a requirement in cell secretion. In the past 25 years, the quest to elucidate the molecular mechanism of secretory vesicle swelling, serendipitously revealed the presence of water channels or aquaporins at the secretory vesicle membrane and their involvement in rapid gaiting of water into secretory vesicles and their swelling during secretion. These studies further provided an understanding of aquaporin regulation at the secretory vesicle membrane. Secretory vesicles within live cells, isolated secretory vesicles, single vesicle electrophysiological patch clamp studies and the swelling complex reconstituted into liposomes, have all been utilized to elucidate the mechanism and regulation of secretory vesicle swelling. Results from these studies collectively demonstrate the involvement of β-adrenergic receptor, heterotrimeric GTP-binding G-proteins such as GαI; PLA2 and potassium and chloride channels, in the regulation of aquaporins at the secretory vesicle membrane.

    Abstract The biophysical function of myosin in vitro has been extensively investigated in different motility assays, but the study of myosin ATPase properties at the fiber level is insufficiently investigated. In this study, quantum dot (QD) mediated thermometry measurements were optimized to measure the efficiency of myosin extracted from muscle mini bundles. A reduction in fluorescent intensity of QD reflects an increase in temperature caused by the heat released during ATP hydrolysis and denotes the efficiency of the motor protein myosin. The procedure for extracting myosin was similar to the single fiber in vitro motility assay with some small modifications, and the concentration of myosin was represented by the extracted total protein since the ratio of extracted myosin to total protein was constant. Moreover, the efficiencies of myosin extracted from preparations containing different myosin heavy chain isoforms reveal lower efficiency of slow compared to fast myosin isoforms. Specifically, more heat was released in slow myosin enzymatic reaction, resulting in faster decay of QD fluorescence intensity. Hence, the optimized QD mediated thermometry provides a novel and sensitive approach to evaluate efficiency of myosin ATPase obtained from small muscle samples, representing a significant advantage in the clinical evaluation of neuromuscular disorders.

    Abstract Macromolecular structures embedded in the cell plasma membrane called 'porosomes', are involved in the regulated fractional release of intravesicular contents from cells during secretion. Porosomes range in size from 15 nm in neurons and astrocytes to 100-180 nm in the exocrine pancreas and neuroendocrine cells. Porosomes have been isolated from a number of cells, and their morphology, composition, and functional reconstitution well documented. The 3D contour map of the assembly of proteins within the porosome complex, and its native X-ray solution structure at sub-nm resolution has also advanced. This understanding now provides a platform to address diseases that may result from secretory defects. Water and ion binding to mucin impart hydration, critical for regulating viscosity of the mucus in the airways epithelia. Appropriate viscosity is required for the movement of mucus by the underlying cilia. Hence secretion of more viscous mucus prevents its proper transport, resulting in chronic and fatal airways disease such as cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is caused by the malfunction of CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a chloride channel transporter, resulting in viscous mucus in the airways. Studies in mice lacking functional CFTR secrete highly viscous mucous that adhered to the epithelium. Since CFTR is known to interact with the t-SNARE protein syntaxin-1A, and with the chloride channel CLC-3, which are also components of the porosome complex, the interactions between CFTR and the porosome complex in the mucin-secreting human airway epithelial cell line Calu-3 was hypothesized and tested. Results from the study demonstrate the presence of approximately 100 nm in size porosome complex composed of 34 proteins at the cell plasma membrane in Calu-3 cells, and the association of CFTR with the complex. In comparison, the nuclear pore complex measures 120 nm and is comprised of over 500 protein molecules. The involvement of CFTR in porosome-mediated mucin secretion is hypothesized, and is currently being tested.

    Abstract Secretion is a fundamental cellular process in living organisms, from yeast to cells in humans. Since the 1950s, it was believed that secretory vesicles completely merged with the cell plasma membrane during secretion. While this may occur, the observation of partially empty vesicles in cells following secretion suggests the presence of an additional mechanism that allows partial discharge of intra-vesicular contents during secretion. This proposed mechanism requires the involvement of a plasma membrane structure called 'porosome', which serves to prevent the collapse of secretory vesicles, and to transiently fuse with the plasma membrane (Kiss-and-run), expel a portion of its contents and disengage. Porosomes are cup-shaped supramolecular lipoprotein structures at the cell plasma membrane ranging in size from 15 nm in neurons and astrocytes to 100-180 nm in endocrine and exocrine cells. Neuronal porosomes are composed of nearly 40 proteins. In comparison, the 120 nm nuclear pore complex is composed of >500 protein molecules. Elucidation of the porosome structure, its chemical composition and functional reconstitution into artificial lipid membrane, and the molecular assembly of membrane-associated t-SNARE and v-SNARE proteins in a ring or rosette complex resulting in the establishment of membrane continuity to form a fusion pore at the porosome base, has been demonstrated. Additionally, the molecular mechanism of secretory vesicle swelling, and its requirement for intra-vesicular content release during cell secretion has also been elucidated. Collectively, these observations provide a molecular understanding of cell secretion, resulting in a paradigm shift in our understanding of the secretory process.
