Glucose transporters as markers of diagnosis and prognosis in cancer diseases
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.

Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

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

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Vesicular traffic in polarized epithelial cells : identification and characterization of general and epithelial specific factors [PDF]
Polarized epithelial cells are differentiated into apical and basolateral plasma membrane domains separated by tight junctions. The apical cell surface usually faces the external milieu, the basolateral domain provides cell-cell and cell-substratum ...

Assembly and Transfer of Iron–Sulfur Clusters in the Plastid
Iron-Sulfur (Fe-S) clusters and proteins are essential to many growth and developmental processes. In plants, they exist in the plastids, mitochondria, cytosol, and nucleus.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

The role of acyl carrier protein in strawberry fruit ripening [PDF]
Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) is an economically important soft fruit that is highly valued as a fresh product and flavouring. During ripening, strawberry fruits undergo a number of physiological changes affecting colour, texture and flavour.

GPLD1 is a scavenger carrier mediating lysosomal degradation of extracellular aberrant proteins
This study reveals that GPLD1 acts as a novel scavenger carrier that directly binds and delivers extracellular aberrant proteins, such as serum amyloid A1, to lysosomes for degradation via cell surface heparan sulfate.
