Interaction vesicles as emerging mediators of host‐pathogen molecular crosstalk and their implications for infection dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...

Oxidative Protein-Folding Systems in Plant Cells

International Journal of Cell Biology, 2013
Plants are unique among eukaryotes in having evolved organelles: the protein storage vacuole, protein body, and chloroplast. Disulfide transfer pathways that function in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and chloroplasts of plants play critical roles in the

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Glucose transporters as markers of diagnosis and prognosis in cancer diseases

Oncology Reviews, 2022
Glucose is a main metabolic substrate, which plays a role as a source of energy and a substrate in several processes. Cell membrane is lipophilic, whereas monosaccharides are hydrophilic.

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

GST‐IVTT pull‐down: a fast and versatile in vitro method for validating and mapping protein–protein interactions

FEBS Open Bio, 2022
Over the past few decades, dozens of in vitro methods have been developed to map, investigate and validate protein–protein interactions. However, most of these approaches are time‐consuming and labour‐intensive or require specialised equipment or ...

Disruption of SETD3‐mediated histidine‐73 methylation by the BWCFF‐associated β‐actin G74S mutation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The β‐actin G74S mutation causes altered interaction of actin with SETD3, reducing histidine‐73 methylation efficiency and forming two distinct actin variants. The variable ratio of these variants across cell types and developmental stages contributes to tissue‐specific phenotypical changes. This imbalance may impair actin dynamics and mechanosensitive

Protein insertion into the inner membrane of mitochondria: routes and mechanisms

FEBS Open Bio
The inner membrane of mitochondria contains hundreds of different integral membrane proteins. These proteins transport molecules into and out of the matrix, they carry out multifold catalytic reactions and they promote the biogenesis or degradation of ...
