Domain integration of ADAM family proteins: Emerging themes from structural studies
ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) proteins are type-1 transmembrane and secreted proteins that function in cell adhesion and signal transduction. Here we review the structural features of ADAM proteins that direct their biological functions in ectodomain shedding and cell adhesion.

Distinct ADAM Metalloproteinases Regulate G Protein-coupled Receptor-induced Cell Proliferation and Survival [PDF]
Cross-talk between G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling systems is widely established in a variety of normal and transformed cell types. Here, we demonstrate that the EGFR transactivation signal requires metalloproteinase cleavage of epidermal growth factor-like growth factor precursors in fibroblasts,

Rosetta Brains: A Strategy for Molecularly-Annotated Connectomics [PDF]
We propose a neural connectomics strategy called Fluorescent In-Situ Sequencing of Barcoded Individual Neuronal Connections (FISSEQ-BOINC), leveraging fluorescent in situ nucleic acid sequencing in fixed tissue (FISSEQ).

The role and therapeutic targeting of α-, β- and γ-secretase in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly and its prevalence is set to increase rapidly in coming decades. However, there are as yet no available drugs that can halt or even stabilize disease progression. One of the main

Convolutional LSTM Networks for Subcellular Localization of Proteins [PDF]
Machine learning is widely used to analyze biological sequence data. Non-sequential models such as SVMs or feed-forward neural networks are often used although they have no natural way of handling sequences of varying length.

The telomeric protein AKTIP interacts with A- and B-type lamins and is involved in regulation of cellular senescence [PDF]
AKTIP is a shelterin-interacting protein required for replication of telomeric DNA. Here, we show that AKTIP biochemically interacts with A- and B-type lamins and affects lamin A, but not lamin C or B, expression.

The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) family [PDF]
The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) enzymes are secreted, multi-domain matrix-associated zinc metalloendopeptidases that have diverse roles in tissue morphogenesis and patho-physiological remodeling, in ...

Loss of ADAM29 does not affect viability and fertility in mice but improves wound healing
Summary: ADAM29 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain 29) is a member of the membrane-anchored ADAM family of proteins, which is highly expressed in testis and may mediate different physiological and pathological processes.
