VAMP721 conformations unmask an extended motif for K+ channel binding and gating control [PDF]
, 2016 Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins play a major role in membrane fusion and contribute to cell expansion, signaling, and polar growth in plants.

TRAF2 binds to TIFA via a novel motif and contributes to its autophagic degradation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.TRAF family members couple receptor signalling complexes to downstream outputs, but how they interact with these complexes is not always clear. Here, we show that during ADP‐heptose signalling, TRAF2 binding to TIFA requires two short sequence motifs in the C‐terminal tail of TIFA, which are distinct from the TRAF6 binding motif.

The Dark Side of Cell Fusion [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016 Cell fusion is a physiological cellular process essential for fertilization, viral entry, muscle differentiation and placental development, among others. In this review, we will highlight the different cancer cell-cell fusions and the advantages obtained by these fusions. We will specially focus on the acquisition of metastatic features by cancer cells

Cell fusion in the liver, revisited [PDF]
World Journal of Hepatology, 2018 There is wide agreement that cell fusion is a physiological process in cells in mammalian bone, muscle and placenta. In other organs, such as the cerebellum, cell fusion is controversial. The liver contains a considerable number of polyploid cells: They are commonly believed to originate by genome endoreplication, although the contribution of cell ...

Phagosome-lysosome fusion is a calcium-independent event in macrophages. [PDF]
, 1996 Phagosome-lysosome membrane fusion is a highly regulated event that is essential for intracellular killing of microorganisms. Functionally, it represents a form of polarized regulated secretion, which is classically dependent on increases in ...

Aβ42 promotes the aggregation of α‐synuclein splice isoforms via heterogeneous nucleation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The aggregation of amyloid‐β (Aβ) and α‐synuclein (αSyn) is associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. This study reveals that Aβ aggregates serve as potent nucleation sites for the aggregation of αSyn and its splice isoforms, shedding light on the intricate interplay between these two pathogenic proteins.

Somatic Sex: On the Origin of Neoplasms With Chromosome Counts in Uneven Ploidy Ranges
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Stable aneuploid genomes with nonrandom numerical changes in uneven ploidy ranges define distinct subsets of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. The idea put forward herein suggests that they emerge from interactions between diploid mitotic and G0/

Physico-chemical requirements and kinetics of membrane fusion of flavivirus-like particles. [PDF]
, 2015 Flaviviruses deliver their RNA genome into the host-cell cytoplasm by fusing their lipid envelope with a cellular membrane. Expression of the flavivirus pre-membrane and envelope glycoprotein genes in the absence of other viral genes results in the ...
