In Vivo Cytoskeletal AMPA Receptor Transport Imaging in C. elegans

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐distance intracellular transport of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) is essential for proper excitatory synaptic function underlying learning and memory. Many neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions have abnormal iGluR transport and trafficking, leading to an intense interest in the mechanisms and factors regulating these

The Influence of Drosophila Spire and Myosin V During Mid‐Oogenesis Is Independent of Their Direct Interaction

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins, as well as actin‐associated proteins like myosins and Rab ...

C‐Terminal Tail Elongation Adds a New Dimension to the Tubulin Code

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tubulin C‐terminal tails undergo diverse post‐translational modifications that regulate microtubule interactions with motors and severing enzymes. TTLL11, a member of the tubulin tyrosine ligase‐like (TTLL) family, uniquely catalyzes glutamate addition to the terminal α‐carboxyl group of both α‐ and β‐primary tubulin tails.

Reconstitution of dynein transport to the microtubule plus end by kinesin

eLife, 2014
Cytoplasmic dynein powers intracellular movement of cargo toward the microtubule minus end. The first step in a variety of dynein transport events is the targeting of dynein to the dynamic microtubule plus end, but the molecular mechanism underlying this

Mitochondria and the Actin Cytoskeleton in Neurodegeneration

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial dysfunction and cytoskeletal disorganization are widely recognized hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The XMAP215-family protein DdCP224 is required for cortical interactions of microtubules

BMC Cell Biology, 2004
Background Interactions of peripheral microtubule tips with the cell cortex are of crucial importance for nuclear migration, spindle orientation, centrosome positioning and directional cell movement.

Anti‐CD47 antibody‐decorated and cisplatin‐containing mesoporous silica nanoparticles for targeted chemoimmunotherapy of colorectal cancer in a patient‐derived organoids xenograft model

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Upon targeted binding to CD47‐overexpressing colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, the nanoparticles disrupt signal regulatory protein α‐CD47 signaling and allow for the restoration of innate immune response by tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) against CRC.

Reduced Dietary Protein Induces Changes in the Dental Proteome

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Low dietary protein (10%) from normal (20%) does change protein expression in tooth proteome and alter developmental pathways. Among the significant protein expressions changes are actin‐based myosins, tooth, and bone development proteins. Perplexingly tooth size is not altered, suggesting more nuanced phenotypic response to low dietary protein in ...

Roles of dynein and dynactin in early endosome dynamics revealed using automated tracking and global analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Microtubule-dependent movement is crucial for the spatial organization of endosomes in most eukaryotes, but as yet there has been no systematic analysis of how a particular microtubule motor contributes to early endosome dynamics.

DOCK8 deficiency presenting with sclerosing cholangitis, raised immunoglobulin E, and bronchiectasis: A fatal pediatric case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency. Patients with DOCK8 deficiency typically present at early age with allergic manifestations, cutaneous and respiratory infections, raised immunoglobulin E, and they have an increased risk of developing malignancies.
