Annexins induce curvature on free-edge membranes displaying distinct morphologies

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Annexins are a family of proteins characterized by their ability to bind anionic membranes in response to Ca2+-activation. They are involved in a multitude of cellular functions including vesiculation and membrane repair.

Dectin-1 Binding to Annexins on Apoptotic Cells Induces Peripheral Immune Tolerance via NADPH Oxidase-2

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Uptake of apoptotic cells (ACs) by dendritic cells (DCs) and induction of a tolerogenic DC phenotype is an important mechanism for establishing peripheral tolerance to self-antigens.

Annexins: players of single cell wound healing and regeneration

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2019
Cell life is defined by a thin 4 nm plasma membrane, which separates the interior of a cell from its environment. Thus, disruption of the plasma membrane poses a critical risk to cells, which requires immediate repair to avoid uncontrolled osmotic lysis ...

Annexins in Translational Research: Hidden Treasures to Be Found

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
The vertebrate annexin superfamily (AnxA) consists of 12 members of a calcium (Ca2+) and phospholipid binding protein family which share a high structural homology.

Annexins—Coordinators of Cholesterol Homeostasis in Endocytic Pathways

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
The spatiotemporal regulation of calcium (Ca2+) storage in late endosomes (LE) and lysosomes (Lys) is increasingly recognized to influence a variety of membrane trafficking events, including endocytosis, exocytosis, and autophagy.

Annexin A8 can serve as potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for ovarian cancer: based on the comprehensive analysis of Annexins

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2019
Background Annexins are involved in vesicle trafficking, cell proliferation and apoptosis, but their functional mechanisms in ovarian cancer remain unclear.

Annexins as Overlooked Regulators of Membrane Trafficking in Plant Cells

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017
Annexins are an evolutionary conserved superfamily of proteins able to bind membrane phospholipids in a calcium-dependent manner. Their physiological roles are still being intensively examined and it seems that, despite their general structural ...

From brain to eye: Annexin A1 and A2 as a key mediator of retinal neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Retina and Vitreous
The retina, as an extension of the central nervous system, is highly susceptible to inflammatory and degenerative changes similar to those brain seen in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Dysferlin Interacts with Annexins A1 and A2 and Mediates Sarcolemmal Wound-healing

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2003
Mutations in the dysferlin gene cause limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B and Miyoshi myopathy. We report here the results of expression profile analyses and in vitro investigations that point to an interaction between dysferlin and the Ca2+ and lipid-

The annexins

open access: yesGenome biology, 2004
SummaryAnnexins are traditionally thought of as calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins, but recent work suggests a more complex set of functions.
