Biogenesis of Dense-Core Secretory Granules 2010-05-27 .txt text/plain 13369 678 42 For such regulated exocytosis, the vesicles that carry newly-synthesized protein from the TGN accumulate in the cytoplasm until specific extracellular events trigger their fusion with the plasma membrane, resulting in the release of vesicle contents.f The vesicles involved are called dense-core granules (DCGs), the name reflecting the fact that the contents are so highly condensed that they form a large electron-dense plug in the vesicle lumen. In support of this hypothesis, recent studies have suggested that prohormone convertases 1 and 2, which are responsible for proteolytic cleavageof lumenal proteins during granule maturation, are sorted to ISGs by virtue of C-terminal membrane raft-associated tails, which are by themselves necessary and sufficient for targeting to DCGs,uo 120 Additionally, cytoplasmic signals on some transmembrane proteins appear to play important roles in sorting, but the mechanisms are unknown. ./cache/cord-017866-h5ttoo0z.txt ./txt/cord-017866-h5ttoo0z.txt
