Regulation of KIF1A-Driven Dense Core Vesicle Transport: Ca2+/CaM Controls DCV Binding and Liprin-α/TANC2 Recruits DCVs to Postsynaptic Sites

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Tight regulation of neuronal transport allows for cargo binding and release at specific cellular locations. The mechanisms by which motor proteins are loaded on vesicles and how cargoes are captured at appropriate sites remain unclear. To better

3',5'-Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate- and Ca2+-Calmodulin-Dependent Endogenous Protein Phosphorylation Activity in Membranes of the Bovine Chromaffin Secretory Vesicles: Identification of Two Phosphorylated Components as Tyrosine Hydroxylase and Protein Kinase Regulatory Subunit Type II [PDF]

, 1983
: Membranes of the secretory vesicles from bovine adrenal medulla were investigated for the presence of the endogenous protein phosphorylation activity. Seven phosphoprotein bands in the molecular weight range of 250,000 to 30,000 were observed by means ...

Transcription Factor HOXC11 Drives Colorectal Cancer Progression and Metastasis via CAMK2A‐Dependent CXCL5 Upregulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HOXC11 drives colorectal cancer progression by transcriptionally activating CAMK2A, which triggers NF‐κB–dependent CXCL5 upregulation. CXCL5–CXCR2 signaling further reinforces HOXC11 expression through the ERK1/2–SP1 axis, forming a prometastatic positive feedback loop that is effectively disrupted by combined CAMK2A and CXCR2 inhibition.

Fluorescent cAMP Analogs: Enzymatic Synthesis, Unexpected Photophysical Behavior and Protein Kinase A Recognition

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a key cellular second messenger. Adenylyl cyclase converts emissive isomorphic nucleoside triphosphates into fluorescent cAMPs. cthAMP displays unusually high brightness compared to thATP, its precursor, enabling real‐time monitoring of enzymatic reactions.

Conformational heterogeneity of the calmodulin binding interface

Nature Communications, 2016
Calmodulin is an important calcium sensor that can recognise and interact with a large range of proteins. Here, the authors use molecular dynamics simulations and Markov state models to show that the range of binding conformations adopted without ...

Covalently Linked Peptides and Membrane Potential Enable CyaA Segment Translocation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using a newly developed Droplet Interface Bilayer‐Pipette assay, the authors show that two segments of the CyaA toxin cross membranes by distinct mechanisms. One segment translocates spontaneously, whereas the translocation of the other depends on membrane potential.

PREDICTION OF CALMODULIN-BINDING PROTEINS USING SHORT LINEAR MOTIFS [PDF]

, 2016
Calmodulin-binding (CAM-binding) proteins are one of the most recently studied cases of protein interactions. Calmodulin is a calcium-binding protein that is a major transducer of calcium signal that forms an intricate network of loops to control the ...

Molecular Basis for Activation to Inhibition Switching in Kv7.2 Channel Modulators

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The paper describes the serendipitous discovery of chemical manipulation allowing the activator‐to‐inhibitor switching in Kv7.2 channel modulators. The molecular determinants driving this switch have been rationalized by multidisciplinary investigation encompassing synthetic and analytical chemistry, in silico methods, cryo‐EM analysis ...

Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...
