Cilia in Nervous System Development, Function, and Disease
Cilia are evolutionarily conserved organelles that function as essential sensory and motility platforms in the nervous system. This review outlines key cilia‐dependent signaling pathways and their roles in neural development and function. Furthermore, it highlights how ciliary dysfunction can lead to a variety of neurological disorders, known as ...

Chapter 4 Probing the Force Generation and Stepping Behavior
Cytoplasmic dynein, which is the largest and arguably the most complex cytoskeletal motor protein, plays fundamental roles during cell division, nuclear positioning, and organelle and mRNA transport, by generating force and movement toward the minus ends

The BICD2 dynein cargo adaptor binds to the HPV16 L2 capsid protein and promotes HPV infection.
During entry, human papillomavirus (HPV) traffics from the endosome to the trans Golgi network (TGN) and Golgi and then the nucleus to cause infection. Although dynein is thought to play a role in HPV infection, how this host motor recruits the virus to ...

Emulsion formation is associated with the soluble phase, while the presence of yeast cells enhances stability through a steric mechanism, with a protein‐to‐oil ratio greater than 1:10 required to prevent oil droplet coalescence. ABSTRACT This study explored the nutrient composition, protein profile, physicochemical and emulsifying properties of ...

The Mechanism of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Its Roles in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
ABSTRACT NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) is one of the crucial receptors in pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) families which can recognize the pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and the damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), thus triggering innate immune response. After NLRP3 activation, it recruits the adaptor protein

Investigating the regulators of cytoplasmic dynein [PDF]
2019 Fall.Includes bibliographical references.Organization of the cell is a dynamic and complex process that is often underappreciated. To accomplish this, cells use motor proteins to move different cargo to their destination.

TDP‐43 pathology is a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia. Peptidyl‐prolyl cis–trans isomerase A (PPIA), a foldase and chaperone protein, modulates TDP‐43 function in an acetylation‐dependent manner. Here, we show that inhibition of lysine deacetylation with vorinostat (SAHA) increases PPIA acetylation and ...

Force-Induced Bidirectional Stepping of Cytoplasmic Dynein
SummaryCytoplasmic dynein is a minus-end-directed microtubule motor whose mechanism of movement remains poorly understood. Here, we use optical tweezers to examine the force-dependent stepping behavior of yeast cytoplasmic dynein.

Mechanisms of Regulation of Cytoplasmic Dynein
Cytoplasmic dynein-1 (dynein) is a microtubule-based motor protein that is essential for maintaining proper spatial and temporal organization of the cellular interior during both interphase and cell division.
