A viral fusogen hijacks the actin cytoskeleton to drive cell-cell fusion
eLife, 2020 Cell-cell fusion, which is essential for tissue development and used by some viruses to form pathological syncytia, is typically driven by fusogenic membrane proteins with tall (>10 nm) ectodomains that undergo conformational changes to bring apposing

Neurospora crassa NADPH Oxidase NOX-1 Is Localized in the Vacuolar System and the Plasma Membrane
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 The NADPH oxidases (NOX) catalyze the production of superoxide by transferring electrons from NADPH to O2, in a regulated manner. In Neurospora crassa NOX-1 is required for normal growth of hyphae, development of aerial mycelium and asexual spores, and ...

Distinct Requirements for HIV-Cell Fusion and HIV-mediated Cell-Cell Fusion [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015 Whether HIV-1 enters cells by fusing with the plasma membrane or with endosomes is a subject of active debate. The ability of HIV-1 to mediate fusion between adjacent cells, a process referred to as "fusion-from-without" (FFWO), shows that this virus can fuse with the plasma membrane.

FOntCell: Fusion of Ontologies of Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019 High-throughput cell-data technologies such as single-cell RNA-seq create a demand for algorithms for automatic cell classification and characterization. There exist several cell classification ontologies with complementary information. However, one needs to merge them to synergistically combine their information.

“Keep on rolling”: circulating cells in a botryllid ascidian torpor
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Hemocytes of the colonial tunicate Botrylloides leachii play important roles throughout the animal’s life span, including transport and storage of nutrients, respiration, regeneration, budding, sexual reproduction, defense responses, and tunic generation.

Pheromone-induced polarization is dependent on the Fus3p MAPK acting through the formin Bni1p [PDF]
, 2004 During mating, budding yeast cells reorient growth toward the highest concentration of pheromone. Bni1p, a formin homologue, is required for this polarized growth by facilitating cortical actin cable assembly.

Structural Basis of Eukaryotic Cell-Cell Fusion [PDF]
Cell, 2014 Cell-cell fusion proteins are essential in development. Here we show that the C. elegans cell-cell fusion protein EFF-1 is structurally homologous to viral class II fusion proteins. The 2.6 Å crystal structure of the EFF-1 trimer displays the same 3D fold and quaternary conformation of postfusion class II viral fusion proteins, although it lacks a ...

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...
