Elevations of intracellular calcium reflect normal voltage-dependent behavior, and not constitutive activity, of voltage-dependent calcium channels in gastrointestinal and vascular smooth muscle (2009)

McCarron, John G., Olson, M., Currie, S., Wright, A., Anderson, Kurt I., Girkin, J.M.

In smooth muscle, the gating of dihydropyridine-sensitive Ca2+ channels may either be stochastic and voltage dependent or coordinated among channels and constitutively active. Each form of gating has...

Neuropilin-1/GIPC1 Signaling Regulates α5β1 Integrin Traffic and Function in Endothelial Cells (2009)

Donatella Valdembri, Patrick T. Caswell, Kurt I. Anderson, Juliane P. Schwarz, Ireen König, Elena Astanina, ...

Neuropilin 1 (Nrp1) is a coreceptor for vascular endothelial growth factor A165 (VEGF-A165, VEGF-A164 in mice) and semaphorin 3A (SEMA3A). Nevertheless, Nrp1 null embryos display vascular defects...

Mechanically induced actin-mediated rocketing of phagosomes (2006)

Clarke, Margaret, Muller-Taubenberger, Annette, Anderson, Kurt I, Engel, Ulrike, Gerisch, Gunther

Actin polymerization can be induced in Dictyostelium by compressing the cells to bring phagosomes filled with large particles into contact with the plasma membrane. Asymmetric actin assembly results...

A new configuration of the Zeiss LSM 510 for simultaneous optical separation of green and red fluorescent protein pairs (2006)

Anderson, Kurt I, Sanderson, Jeremy, Gerwig, Silke, Peychl, Jan

The power and simplicity of genetically encoded fluorophores (fluorescent proteins, FPs) have drawn many molecular biologists to light microscopy. First generation FPs suffered from overlapping...

Polyene-lipids: A new tool to image lipids (2005)

Kuerschner, Lars, Ejsing, Christer S., Ekroos, Kim, Shevchenko, Andrej, Anderson, Kurt I, Thiele, Christoph

Microscopy of lipids in living cells is currently hampered by a lack of adequate fluorescent tags. The most frequently used tags, NBD and BODIPY, strongly influence the properties of lipids, yielding...

Nanometer targeting of microtubules to focal adhesions

Krylyshkina, Olga, Anderson, Kurt I., Kaverina, Irina, Upmann, Irene, Manstein, Dietmar J., Small, J. Victor, ...

Although cell movement is driven by actin, polarization and directional locomotion require an intact microtubule cytoskeleton that influences polarization by modulating substrate adhesion via...
