Clathrin-independent but dynamin-dependent mechanisms mediate Ca2+-triggered endocytosis of the glutamate GluK2 receptor upon excitotoxicity [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2020 We first explore the features of GluK2 endocytosis during kainate excitotoxicity and then explore the role of Ca2+ in the regulation of GluK2 endocytosis. The roles of Ca2+ were examined by treating cells with Ca2+ inhibitors or chelators.

Ectodomain shedding of the amyloid precursor protein: Cellular control mechanisms and novel modifiers [PDF]
, 2006 Proteolytic cleavage in the ectodomain of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a key regulatory step in the generation of the Alzheimer's disease amyloid-beta (A beta) pepticle and occurs through two different protease activities termed alpha- and beta-

PICALM::MLLT10 translocated leukemia
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This comprehensive review of PICALM::MLLT10 translocated acute leukemia provides an in‐depth review of the structure and function of CALM, AF10, and the fusion oncoprotein (1). The multifaceted molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis, including nucleocytoplasmic shuttling (2), epigenetic modifications (3), and disruption of endocytosis (4), are then ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Synaptic Vesicle Endocytosis in Different Model Systems
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Neurotransmission in complex animals depends on a choir of functionally distinct synapses releasing neurotransmitters in a highly coordinated manner. During synaptic signaling, vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane to release their contents. The rate of

Modulation of sleep by trafficking of lipids through the Drosophila blood-brain barrier
eLife, 2023 Endocytosis through Drosophila glia is a significant determinant of sleep amount and occurs preferentially during sleep in glia of the blood-brain barrier (BBB).

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor acetazolamide shifts synaptic vesicle recycling to a fast mode at the mouse neuromuscular junction [PDF]
, 2017 Acetazolamide (AZ), a molecule frequently used to treat different neurological syndromes, is an inhibitor of the carbonic anhydrase (CA), an enzyme that regulates pH inside and outside cells.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study explores salivary RNA for breast cancer (BC) diagnosis, prognosis, and follow‐up. High‐throughput RNA sequencing identified distinct salivary RNA signatures, including novel transcripts, that differentiate BC from healthy controls, characterize histological and molecular subtypes, and indicate lymph node involvement.

Bile acids reduce endocytosis of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in HepG2 cells.
PLoS ONE, 2014 High-density lipoprotein (HDL) transports lipids to hepatic cells and the majority of HDL-associated cholesterol is destined for biliary excretion. Cholesterol is excreted into the bile directly or after conversion to bile acids, which are also present ...

Clathrin- and dynamin-independent endocytosis of FGFR3--implications for signalling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Endocytosis of tyrosine kinase receptors can influence both the duration and the specificity of the signal emitted. We have investigated the mechanisms of internalization of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) and compared it to that of FGFR1 ...
