Rab35 GTPase couples cell division with initiation of epithelial apico-basal polarity and lumen opening

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Establishment and maintenance of apico-basal polarity in epithelial organs needs to be tightly coupled with cell division. Here the authors show that the Rab35 GTPase tethers intracellular vesicles containing key apical determinants at the cleavage site,

Mechanics and regulation of cytokinetic abscission

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Cytokinetic abscission leads to the physical cut of the intercellular bridge (ICB) connecting the daughter cells and concludes cell division. In different animal cells, it is well established that the ESCRT-III machinery is responsible for the ...

LRRC45 Is a Centrosome Linker Component Required for Centrosome Cohesion

open access: yesCell Reports, 2013
During interphase, centrosomes are connected by a proteinaceous linker between the proximal ends of the centrioles, which is important for the centrosomes to function as a single microtubule-organizing center.

Plasma membrane integrity in health and disease: significance and therapeutic potential

open access: yesCell Discovery, 2021
Maintenance of plasma membrane integrity is essential for normal cell viability and function. Thus, robust membrane repair mechanisms have evolved to counteract the eminent threat of a torn plasma membrane.

Oxidation and reduction of actin: Origin, impact in vitro and functional consequences in vivo

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Cell Biology, 2022
Actin is among the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells and assembles into dynamic filamentous networks regulated by many actin binding proteins. The actin cytoskeleton must be finely tuned, both in space and time, to fulfill key cellular functions

The Flemmingsome reveals an ESCRT-to-membrane coupling via ALIX/syntenin/syndecan-4 required for completion of cytokinesis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
ESCRT filaments drive the final abscission between two daughter cells but how they physically interact with the membrane is unclear. Using proteomics, the authors show that syndecan-4/syntenin/ALIX couples the ESCRT machinery to the abscission site and ...

Biophysics in Membrane of Cells

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
The membrane of a cell, often compared to a dynamic city border, carries out an intricate dance of controlling entry and exit, guarding the valuable life processes occurring inside [...]

Line tension at lipid phase boundaries as driving force for HIV fusion peptide-mediated fusion

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
HIV preferentially fuses with lipid membranes at the interface between ordered and disordered domains, but the mechanistic basis for this observation is not known. Here Yang et al.
