Roles of ADP-Ribosylation during Infection Establishment by Trypanosomatidae Parasites
ADP-ribosylation is a reversible post-translational protein modification, which is evolutionarily conserved in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

A novel physiological role for ARF1 in the formation of bidirectional tubules from the Golgi. [PDF]
Capitalizing on CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing techniques and super-resolution nanoscopy, we explore the role of the small GTPase ARF1 in mediating transport steps at the Golgi.

Proteasome Regulation by ADP-Ribosylation [PDF]
Protein degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system is central to cell homeostasis and survival. Defects in this process are associated with diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The 26S proteasome is a large protease complex that degrades ubiquitinated proteins. Here, we show that ADP-ribosylation promotes 26S proteasome activity

To translate, or not to translate: viral and host mRNA regulation by interferon-stimulated genes. [PDF]
Type I interferon (IFN) is one of the first lines of cellular defense against viral pathogens. As a result of IFN signaling, a wide array of IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) products is upregulated to target different stages of the viral life cycle.

Elongation factor 2-diphthamide is critical for translation of two IRES-dependent protein targets, XIAP and FGF2, under oxidative stress conditions [PDF]
Elongation factor-2 (eEF2) catalyzes the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA. A single histidine residue in eEF2 (H715) is modified to form diphthamide. A role for eEF2 in cellular stress responses is highlighted by the fact that eEF2 is sensitive to

Mono ADP-ribosylation and Poly ADP-ribosylation of Proteins [PDF]
Postsynthetic modification of proteins by transfer of ADP-ribosyl groups from NAD has been shown to occur in numerous systems. Besides ADPR transferase reactions associated with the action of bacterial toxins and viruses, ADP ribosylation reactions were also observed in eukaryotic cells (cf.

Role of APD-Ribosylation in Bone Health and Disease
The transfer of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose unit(s) from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to acceptor proteins is known as ADP-ribosylation.

Nucleotide-, chemotactic peptide- and phorbol ester-induced exocytosis in HL-60 leukemic cells [PDF]
Undifferentiated and differentiated HL-60 leukemic cells possess nucleotide receptors which functionally couple to phospholipase C via pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins).
