| Abstract | Overexpression of the Rho family member TC10α, disrupts adipocyte cortical actin structure and inhibits insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation when targeted to lipid raft microdomains. This appears to be independent of effecter domain function because overexpression of the wild-type (TC10/WT), constitutively GTP-bound (TC10/Q75L), and constitutively GDP bound (TC10/T31N) all inhibit adipocyte cortical actin structure and GLUT4 translocation. To examine the structural determinants responsible for these effects, we generated a series of chimera proteins between TC10 with that of H-Ras and K-Ras. Chimera containing the 79 (TC10–79/H-Ras), 41 (TC10–41/H-Ras), or 16 (TC10–16/H-Ras) amino acids of the TC10 amino terminal extension fused to H-Ras disrupted cortical actin and inhibited insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation. In contrast, the same amino terminal TC10 extensions fused to K-Ras had no significant effect on either GLUT4 translocation or cortical actin structure. Similarly, expression of TC10β was without effect, whereas fusion of the amino terminal 8 amino acid of TC10α onto TC10β resulted in an inhibition of insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation. Within the amino terminal extension point mutation analysis demonstrated that both a GAG and GPG sequences when lipid raft targeted was essential for these effects. Furthermore, expression of the amino terminal TC10 deletions ΔNT-TC10/WT or ΔNT-TC10/T31N had no detectable effect on cortical actin organization and did not perturb insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation. Surprisingly, however, expression of ΔNT-TC10/Q75L remained fully capable of inhibiting insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation without affecting cortical actin. These data demonstrate that inhibitory effect of TC10 overexpression on adipocyte cortical actin organization is due to the specific lipid raft targeting of the unusual TC10 amino terminal extension. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
