The Role of the CLIC/GEEC Endocytic Pathway for Mechanophysical Transfection of DNA. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Gene Med
The clathrin‐independent carriers/GPI‐enriched endocytic compartments (CLIC/GEEC or CG) pathway is a high‐capacity, clathrin‐, and dynamin‐independent route for nutrient and membrane‐anchored cargo uptake of DNA. This overview highlights its molecular mechanisms, regulation, cellular roles, and relevance to mechanophysical DNA transfection.

Case Report: Association of Ocular Colobomas With a Novel Missense Variant in CDC42, a Member of the Rho Family of Small GTPases. [PDF]

open access: yesClin Genet
We report a 2‐year‐old male with clinical features of Takenouchi‐Kosaki syndrome, bilateral colobomas, and a de novo, likely pathogenic missense variant in CDC42. Supportive evidence includes a Cdc42 conditional knock‐out mouse model with colobomas.

Novel Evolutionarily Conserved Oncogene COA4 is Driven by KRAS Mutant and Promotes Cancer Metastasis Through Dual Mitochondrial Metabolism-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
In KRAS‐mutant tumors, KRAS transcriptionally upregulates COA4 via the PI3K/AKT/E2F1 axis, promoting metastasis. Mechanistically, COA4 enhances tumor cell migration through dual pathways: within mitochondria, it boosts oxidative phosphorylation; in the cytoplasm, it binds and activates CDC42 to stimulate pseudopodia formation.

Coxiella burnetii Phagocytosis Is Regulated by GTPases of the Rho Family and the RhoA Effectors mDia1 and ROCK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The GTPases belonging to the Rho family control the actin cytoskeleton rearrangements needed for particle internalization during phagocytosis. ROCK and mDia1 are downstream effectors of RhoA, a GTPase involved in that process.

PTEN controls glandular morphogenesis through a juxtamembrane β-Arrestin1/ARHGAP21 scaffolding complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
PTEN controls three-dimensional (3D) glandular morphogenesis by coupling juxtamembrane signalling to mitotic spindle machinery. While molecular mechanisms remain unclear, PTEN interacts through its C2 membrane-binding domain with the scaffold protein β ...

Regulation of polarised growth in fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Polarised growth in fungi occurs through the delivery of secretory vesicles along tracks formed by cytoskeletal elements to specific sites on the cell surface where they dock with a multiprotein structure called the exocyst before fusing with the ...

Allosteric Activation of the Par-6 PDZ Via a Partial Unfolding Transition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Proteins exist in a delicate balance between the native and unfolded states, where thermodynamic stability may be sacrificed to attain the flexibility required for efficient catalysis, binding, or allosteric control.

Granule Cell Dispersion in Human Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Proteomics investigation of neurodevelopmental migratory pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Granule cell dispersion (GCD) is a common pathological feature observed in the hippocampus of patients with Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (MTLE). Pathomechanisms underlying GCD remain to be elucidated, but one hypothesis proposes aberrant reactivation of
