Nephritic Factors: An Overview of Classification, Diagnostic Tools and Clinical Associations

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Nephritic factors comprise a heterogeneous group of autoantibodies against neoepitopes generated in the C3 and C5 convertases of the complement system, causing its dysregulation.

Immunological features of patients affected by Barraquer-Simons syndrome

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2020
Background C3 hypocomplementemia and the presence of C3 nephritic factor (C3NeF), an autoantibody causing complement system over-activation, are common features among most patients affected by Barraquer-Simons syndrome (BSS), an acquired form of partial ...

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Haemolytic uremic syndrome: diagnosis and management [version 1; peer review: 3 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2019
The thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) are a group of diseases characterised by microangiopathic haemolysis, thrombocytopenia, and thrombus formation leading to tissue injury.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

A cut above: atypical proteolysis endows complement C3 with non-canonical immune activities

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal
Well-defined proteolysis of complement component 3 (C3) produces fragments that mediate its classic activities including target opsonization and phagocytosis. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Demir et al, (2025) uncover a novel C3 fragment, C3-LHF1, in

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Fishing for complements [PDF]

open access: yesBlood, 2016
In this issue of Blood , [Jodele et al][1][1][2] build upon earlier work on the role of complement in the pathophysiology[2][3] and therapy[3][4] of transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) by exploring genetic predisposition for developing this complication.
