Bardet-Biedl syndrome proteins control cilia length through regulation of actin polymerisation. [PDF]

, 2012
Primary cilia are cellular appendages important for signal transduction and sensing the environment. Bardet-Biedl syndrome proteins form a complex that is important for several cytoskeleton-related processes such as ciliogenesis, cell migration and ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Regulation of microtubule nucleation in glioblastoma cells by ARF GTPase-activating proteins GIT1 and GIT2 and protein kinase C

Cancer Cell International
Background G protein-coupled receptor kinase-interacting proteins (GITs) function as GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) for small GTPases of the ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) family.

Comprehensive contribution of filament thickness and crosslinker failure to the rheological property of F-actin cytoskeleton [PDF]

, 2015
Rheological property of F-actin cytoskeleton is significant to the restructuring of cytoskeleton under a variety of cell activities. This study numerically validates the rheological property of F-actin cytoskeleton is not only a result of kinetic energy ...

Leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a ganglioside‐binding protein

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neuronal hyperexcitability associated with a decrease/absence of the extracellular protein LGI1 has been suggested to be primarily due to the downregulation of Kv1 channel expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this decrease have not yet been elucidated.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Distinct Neurotoxicity Profile of Listeriolysin O from Listeria monocytogenes

Toxins, 2017
Cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) are protein toxins that originate from Gram-positive bacteria and contribute substantially to their pathogenicity. CDCs bind membrane cholesterol and build prepores and lytic pores.

Studies on the role of Coronin 1 and the actin cytoskeleton in T cell signaling and survival [PDF]

, 2009
Calcium ions (Ca2+) function as universal second messengers in most if not all eukaryotic cells, including the cells of the immunesystem. Ca2+ signals are required for the proper activation of lymphocytes, such as T-lymphocytes, their proliferation ...

Loss of IGF‐1R impairs DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin leading to defective end‐joining

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
IGF‐1R promotes radioresistance by facilitating DNA‐PKcs recruitment to chromatin, enabling non‐homologous end‐joining (NHEJ) repair of double‐strand breaks. Inhibition or loss of IGF‐1R disrupts this recruitment to damage sites, driving compensatory reliance on microhomology‐mediated end‐joining (MMEJ) repair.
