Rocket‐Inspired Sequentially Targeted Nanotherapeutics for Mitochondrial Regulation and Inflammatory Reprogramming in Ischemic Stroke

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel neutrophil‐hitchhiking, rocket‐inspired nanoplatform is developed to cross the blood‐brain barrier for sequential, spatiotemporal drug delivery. By responsive surface transformation in the ischemic penumbra, it precisely targets mitochondria to suppress Drp1‐mediated fission.

Dynamin inhibitors block activation of mTORC1 by amino acids independently of dynamin [PDF]

Journal of Cell Science, 2018
ABSTRACT mTORC1 plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and cell proliferation and growth. It is activated by growth factors and amino acids, including essential amino acids (EAAs), such as leucine; Leu enters cells via the Leu transporter LAT1–4F2hc (also known as SLC7A5–SLC3A2) and potentially via endocytosis.

ATL2 Recruits TRAK1 to Promote Mitochondrial Transport at ER–Mitochondria Contact Sites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial transport and distribution are crucial for cellular homeostasis, yet whether and how they are regulated by endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–mitochondria contact sites remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the ER protein atlastin‐2 (ATL2) orchestrates mitochondrial transport and distribution by promoting assembly of the transport ...

Dual‐Gene Edited Extracellular Vesicles Remodel the Redox Homeostasis to Inhibit Ferroptosis in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is driven by ferroptosis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) as a core pathological mechanism. Nucleus pulposus progenitor cells (NPPCs), exhibiting stem cell‐like properties, yield extracellular vesicles (PEVs) with high affinity for NPCs and enable targeted phenotypic regulation.

Dynamin-related proteins in plant post-Golgi traffic

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Membrane traffic between two organelles begins with the formation of transport vesicles from the donor organelle. Dynamin-related proteins (DRPs), which are large multidomain GTPases, play crucial roles in vesicle formation in post-Golgi traffic ...

Refining Domain‐Based Prognostication in DNM1 Encephalopathy: A Mild Phenotype Associated With a GTPase Domain Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT DNM1 encephalopathy is a rare autosomal dominant genetic condition characterized by a range of neurological and developmental manifestations. The typical phenotype is severe, including profound intellectual disability, treatment‐resistant epilepsy, ataxia, and structural brain abnormalities. However, milder presentations have increasingly been

Dynamin and receptor‐mediated endocytosis [PDF]

FEBS 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.

A Corkscrew Model for Dynamin Constriction [PDF]

Structure, 2007
Numerous vesiculation processes throughout the eukaryotic cell are dependent on the protein dynamin, a large GTPase that constricts lipid bilayers. We have combined X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) data to generate a coherent model of dynamin-mediated membrane constriction.

Dynamin Subunit Interactions Revealed [PDF]

Developmental Cell, 2010
Dynamin family members are large GTPases that assemble into multimeric spirals. These spirals promote membrane fission or fusion, or they inhibit processes such as viral replication. Two new studies by Chappie et al. and Gao et al. in a recent issue of Nature identify interactions between subunits of dynamin spirals, advancing mechanistic understanding

Overcoming intranasal delivery barriers with ultrastable polyzwitterionic siRNA nanocages for enhanced glioblastoma therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A ROS‐responsive, zwitterionic nanocage enables stable, intranasal siRNA delivery to glioblastoma, promoting deep tumor penetration via non‐degradative pathways and trigeminal nerve transport. This platform achieves durable gene silencing and tumor suppression, offering a non‐invasive, storage‐stable strategy for treating glioma and other neurological ...
