Cyclic azapeptide CD36 ligand attenuates cardiac injury and reduces long‐chain fatty acid accumulation after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.

An extracellular matrix protein promotes anillin-dependent processes in the Caenorhabditis elegans germline

Life Science Alliance, 2019
The extracellular matrix protein Hemicentin (HIM-4) is an extracellular factor that regulates anillin (ANI-1) for germ cell membrane stabilization and contractile ring formation in C. elegans germline cells.

Delivery of ceramide phosphoethanolamine lipids to the cleavage furrow through the endocytic pathway is essential for male meiotic cytokinesis.

PLoS Biology, 2022
Cell division, wherein 1 cell divides into 2 daughter cells, is fundamental to all living organisms. Cytokinesis, the final step in cell division, begins with the formation of an actomyosin contractile ring, positioned midway between the segregated ...

Dynamin-Like Protein B of Dictyostelium Contributes to Cytokinesis Cooperatively with Other Dynamins

Cells, 2019
Dynamin is a large GTPase responsible for diverse cellular processes, such as endocytosis, division of organelles, and cytokinesis. The social amoebozoan, Dictyostelium discoideum, has five dynamin-like proteins: dymA, dymB, dlpA, dlpB, and dlpC.

Stress generation and filament turnover during actin ring constriction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
We present a physical analysis of the dynamics and mechanics of contractile actin rings. In particular, we analyze the dynamics of ring contraction during cytokinesis in the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo.

An anillin-Ect2 complex stabilizes central spindle microtubules at the cortex during cytokinesis.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Cytokinesis occurs due to the RhoA-dependent ingression of an actomyosin ring. During anaphase, the Rho GEF (guanine nucleotide exchange factor) Ect2 is recruited to the central spindle via its interaction with MgcRacGAP/Cyk-4, and activates RhoA in the ...

Proteomic characterization of the Toxoplasma gondii cytokinesis machinery portrays an expanded hierarchy of its assembly and function

Nature Communications, 2022
The basal complex is orchestrating Toxoplasma gondii cell division steps. Here, the authors use proximity biotinylation to map the proteome of this contractile ring, identify components acting on its formation, stability and constriction, and reveal ...
