Legionella pneumophila is a bacterial pathogen ubiquitous in natural and man-made aquatic environments, where it replicates in protozoa. Its intracellular life cycle depends on the establishment of a Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV) where the bacteria

Tissue-specific Expression of Distinct Spectrin and Ankyrin Transcripts in Erythroid and Nonerythroid Cells [PDF]
cDNA probes for three components of the erythroid membrane skeleton, α spectrin, β spectrin, and ankyrin, were obtained by using monospecific antibodies to screen a λgt11 expression vector library containing cDNA prepared from chicken erythroid poly(A)^+

Evolution in Action: Giant Ankyrins Awake [PDF]
Reporting in Developmental Cell, Stephan et al. (2015) demonstrate critical axonal and presynaptic functions from acquisition of an enormous exon by the Drosophila ank2 gene. They propose that highly elongated ank2-XL molecules, associated with the plasma membrane through spectrin and ank2-L, extend deep into the axoplasm to promote microtubule ...

Reduced Dietary Protein Induces Changes in the Dental Proteome
Low dietary protein (10%) from normal (20%) does change protein expression in tooth proteome and alter developmental pathways. Among the significant protein expressions changes are actin‐based myosins, tooth, and bone development proteins. Perplexingly tooth size is not altered, suggesting more nuanced phenotypic response to low dietary protein in ...

The loss of βΙ spectrin alters synaptic size and composition in the ja/ja mouse
IntroductionDeletion or mutation of members of the spectrin gene family contributes to many neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders. While each spectrinopathy may generate distinct neuropathology, the study of βΙ spectrin’s role (Sptb) in the brain has

LRRK2 as a Potential Disease‐Modifying Target in Sporadic Parkinson's Disease
Abstract A growing understanding of the role that leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) plays in Parkinson's disease (PD) supports continued focus on this enzyme as a therapeutic target for PD. Accumulating evidence suggests that there are phenotypic, neuropathologic, and biological similarities between sporadic PD (sPD) and familial forms in which ...

The diversity and evolution of Wolbachia ankyrin repeat domain genes. [PDF]
Ankyrin repeat domain-encoding genes are common in the eukaryotic and viral domains of life, but they are rare in bacteria, the exception being a few obligate or facultative intracellular Proteobacteria species.

Differential Proteomics of Large Extracellular Vesicles in Ovarian Cancer
ABSTRACT Diverse extracellular vesicles (EVs) are present in all body fluids; however, knowledge of large EVs (lEVs) remains limited. Molecular EV profiles vary depending on EV size and the physiological circulatory system, even within the same patient. In this study, we aimed to characterize the proteomic profile of IEVs in ovarian cancer patients and
