Small Methods, EarlyView.A new method to identify proteins involved in the uptake and intracellular trafficking of nanoparticles is presented. After nanoparticle uptake, cells are lysed and the organelles with nanoparticles are purified using fluorescence assisted cell sorting. Next, their composition is determined by proteomic analysis.

Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...

ARNO Is a Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor for ADP-ribosylation Factor 6*
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 ADP-ribosylation factors (ARFs) constitute a family of small monomeric GTPases. ARFs 1 and 3 function in the recruitment of coat proteins to membranes of the Golgi apparatus, whereas ARF6 is localized to the plasma membrane, where it appears to modulate ...

A ribose-functionalized NAD+ with unexpected high activity and selectivity for protein poly-ADP-ribosylation. [PDF]
, 2019 Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent ADP-ribosylation plays important roles in physiology and pathophysiology. It has been challenging to study this key type of enzymatic post-translational modification in particular for protein poly-ADP ...

Cool-associated Tyrosine-phosphorylated Protein 1 Is Required for the Anchorage-independent Growth of Cervical Carcinoma Cells by Binding Paxillin and Promoting AKT Activation. [PDF]
, 2017 Cool-associated tyrosine-phosphorylated protein 1 (Cat-1) is a signaling scaffold as well as an ADP-ribosylation factor-GTPase-activating protein. Although best known for its role in cell migration, we recently showed that the ability of Cat-1 to bind ...

Transglutaminase‐mediated cytokeratin modifications implicated in bile‐acid‐induced hepatocyte death
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Cholestasis and bile‐acid exposure enhance expression and activity of protein crosslinking enzymes TG1 and TG2 in hepatocytes. Substrate proteins were identified by mass spectrometry using biotin‐labeled peptides (pepK5/pepT26) or amine donor (biotinylated pentylamine; BPA). Crosslinking‐induced aggregation and fragmentation of keratin 18 and 8 (K18/K8)

Cytohesin 2/ARF6 regulates preadipocyte migration through the activation of ERK1/2 [PDF]
, 2014 Preadipocyte migration is vital for the development of adipose tissue, which plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) small GTPase, which regulates membrane trafficking, is activated by GTP-exchange factors (GEFs) such ...

Automodification of N‐terminal serine residues facilitates PARP2 release from DNA
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.PARP2 is involved in detecting DNA damage and its N‐terminal role is largely unknown. Based on biochemical and biophysical data, our findings suggest that in the presence of HPF1, N‐terminal serine 8 and 73 are enriched in auto‐ADP‐ribosylation. Our results provide insight into the mechanistic role of PARP2 N‐terminus in the PARylation‐dependent ...
