Calcineurin Selectively Docks with the Dynamin Ixb Splice Variant to Regulate Activity-dependent Bulk Endocytosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Depolarization of nerve terminals stimulates rapid dephosphorylation of two isoforms of dynamin I (dynI), mediated by the calcium-dependent phosphatase calcineurin (CaN).

Synaptic Vesicle Dynamics sans Dynamin [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 2007
The neuron-specific guanosine triphosphatase dynamin 1 has been hypothesized to be critically required for pinching off synaptic vesicles during endocytosis. In a recent publication in Science, Ferguson et al. describe a series of experiments demonstrating an unexpectedly selective requirement of dynamin 1 in synaptic vesicle endocytosis only during ...

Substituent‐Based Modulation of Self‐Assembly and Immunogenicity of Amphipathic Peptides

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study systematically investigates how positional and subtle changes, such as substituents on the phenyl ring attached to short amphipathic peptides, influence their self‐assembly, fibril morphology, and immunogenic responses. ABSTRACT Self‐assembled peptide‐based biomaterials provide versatile platforms for biomedical uses, featuring customizable ...

Toxoplasma and Plasmodium protein kinases: roles in invasion and host cell remodelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Some apicomplexan parasites have evolved distinct protein kinase families to modulate host cell structure and function. Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry protein kinases and pseudokinases are involved in virulence and modulation of host cell signalling.

Dynamin and receptor‐mediated endocytosis [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1996
The internalization of receptor‐bound ligands involves concentration of cell surface receptors in specialized areas of the plasma membrane and subsequent formation of clathrin‐coated vesicles. The complex process of invagination, constriction and budding of clathrin‐coated vesicles employs the coordinated actions of several proteins.

Immunoaffinity‐Mimetic Assembly of Peptide‐Aptamer Conjugates and Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes into Hierarchical Microgels for Spinal Cord Injury Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by antibody‐antigen binding, this study develops an unprecedented immunoaffinity‐mimetic assembly strategy, with Peptide‐AptCD63 conjugates acting as antibody surrogates binding CD63 epitopes on mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes. This creates a hierarchical microstructure intended to synergistically integrate antioxidative and anti ...

Synergistic association of STX1A and VAMP2 with cryptogenic epilepsy in North Indian population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Introduction “Common epilepsies”, merely explored for genetics are the most frequent, nonfamilial, sporadic cases in hospitals. Because of their much debated molecular pathology, there is a need to focus on other neuronal pathways including the existing ...

Membrane curvature controls dynamin polymerization [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010
The generation of membrane curvature in intracellular traffic involves many proteins that can curve lipid bilayers. Among these, dynamin-like proteins were shown to deform membranes into tubules, and thus far are the only proteins known to mechanically drive membrane fission.

Reconstituting ring-rafts in bud-mimicking topography of model membranes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
During vesicular trafficking and release of enveloped viruses, the budding and fission processes dynamically remodel the donor cell membrane in a protein- or a lipid-mediated manner.

Long‐Read Genome Sequencing Establishes Biallelic Pathogenic Variants in DNM1 With Distinct Functional Effects as the Cause of Early Infantile Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterozygous de novo and inherited biallelic pathogenic variants in DNM1 have been reported in association with autosomal dominant (AD) and autosomal recessive (AR) developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, respectively, due to aberrant dynamin function or expression, with each inheritance pattern associated with a different mechanism of ...
