Myosin XVA: dancing at the tips of the stereocilia

Journal of Bio-X Research, 2020
. Myosins comprise a large superfamily of adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases) that interact with actin filaments to generate motility or force. Unconventional myosins are implicated in diverse cellular processes including organelle trafficking, F-actin ...

ATP8B2-Mediated Asymmetric Distribution of Plasmalogens Regulates Plasmalogen Homeostasis and Plays a Role in Intracellular Signaling

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Plasmalogens are a subclass of glycerophospholipid containing vinyl-ether bond at the sn-1 position of glycerol backbone. Ethanolamine-containing plasmalogens (plasmalogens) are major constituents of cellular membranes in mammalian cells and de novo ...

The advantage of channeling nucleotides for very processive functions [version 1; referees: 3 approved]

F1000Research, 2017
Nucleoside triphosphate (NTP)s, like ATP (adenosine 5’-triphosphate) and GTP (guanosine 5’-triphosphate), have long been considered sufficiently concentrated and diffusible to fuel all cellular ATPases (adenosine triphosphatases) and GTPases (guanosine ...

The effect of calcium to magnesium ratio on adenosine triphosphatases from wheat roots

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015
The activities of ATPase isolated from 4 days old wheat roots grown on distilled water were found to be associated with the ratio of Ca : Mg ions added in different proportions to the incubation medium. This relationship was stated in the crude cell wall

AAA+ ATPases in Protein Degradation: Structures, Functions and Mechanisms

Biomolecules, 2020
Adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases) associated with a variety of cellular activities (AAA+), the hexameric ring-shaped motor complexes located in all ATP-driven proteolytic machines, are involved in many cellular processes.

Altered chemomechanical coupling causes impaired motility of the kinesin-4 motors KIF27 and KIF7. [PDF]

, 2018
Kinesin-4 motors play important roles in cell division, microtubule organization, and signaling. Understanding how motors perform their functions requires an understanding of their mechanochemical and motility properties.

Galangin ameliorates changes of membrane–bound enzymes in rats with streptozotocin–induced hyperglycemia

Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine, 2019
Objective: To assess the protective effect of galangin on membrane bound enzymes in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Methods: A single low dose of streptozotocin was injected to adult male albino rats to induce hyperglycemia. Galangin (8 mg/kg)

From the cell membrane to the nucleus: unearthing transport mechanisms for Dynein [PDF]

, 2012
Mutations in the motor protein cytoplasmic dynein have been found to cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, spinal muscular atrophy, and severe intellectual disabilities in humans. In mouse models, neurodegeneration is observed.
