An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Phase transitions in bio-gels: towards structure/properties control of bio-aerogels and of responsive biomaterials

, 2022
International audienceStimuli-responsive or so-called "intelligent" materials undergo triggered changes when exposed to specific environmental cues. Stimuli-responsive synthetic polymers represent one most studied class of such materials which undergo ...

Novel process for the upgrading of model torrefaction bio-oils using ammonia

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2022
Bio-oils produced from torrefaction or pyrolysis of biomass constitute an under-utilized product that generally requires complicated processing. The high acidity and water content pose storage and transportation issues, and the complex nature of the ...

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...
