Identification and Functional Analysis of V-ATPaseA and C Genes in Hyphantria cunea
Vacuolar (H+)-ATPases (V-ATPases) are ATP-driven proton pumps that play multifaceted roles across various organisms. Despite their widespread significance, the functional implications of V-ATPase genes in Hyphantria cunea, an invasive forest pest with a ...

MOM19, an import receptor for mitochondrial precursor proteins [PDF]
We have identified a 19 kd protein of the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM19). Monospecific IgG and Fab fragments directed against MOM19 inhibit import of precursor proteins destined for the various mitochondrial subcompartments, including porin ...

Features of V‐ATPases that distinguish them from F‐ATPases [PDF]
The general structure of F‐ and V‐ATPases is quite similar and they may share a common mechanism of action that involves mechanochemical energy transduction. Both holoenzymes are composed of catalytic sectors, F1 and V1 respectively, and membrane sectors, Fo and Vo respectively. Although we assume that a similar mechanism underlies ATP‐dependent proton

The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis
The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.

Regulation of cardiac remodeling by cardiac Na/K-ATPase isoforms
Cardiac remodeling occurs after cardiac pressure/volume overload or myocardial injury during the development of heart failure and is a determinant of heart failure. Preventing or reversing remodeling is a goal of heart failure therapy.

Requirement of Zn to demonstrate HCO3-stimulated ATPase activity of rat small intestinal brush border. [PDF]
The existence of a membrane-bound HCO3-stimulated ATPase in intestinal mucosa is controversial. A crude brush border fraction of rat small intestinal homogenates contained HCO3-ATPase activity which was inhibited by preincubation with 3 mM EDTA. Alkaline

H2O2‐Generating Advanced Nanomaterials for Cancer Treatment
H2O2‐generating nanoplatforms can exploit tumor redox imbalance for O2 and toxic reactive oxygen species generation, leading to hypoxia reversal, and apoptosis of cancer cells, respectively. This review highlights the mechanisms of these nanoplatforms, including exogenous H₂O₂ delivery, endogenous amplification, and metal peroxides, which leads to ...

Na/K Pump and Beyond: Na/K-ATPase as a Modulator of Apoptosis and Autophagy
Lung cancer is a leading cause of global cancer deaths. Na/K-ATPase has been studied as a target for cancer treatment. Cardiotonic steroids (CS) trigger intracellular signalling upon binding to Na/K-ATPase. Normal lung and tumour cells frequently express
