Neogenin-mediated hemojuvelin shedding occurs after hemojuvelin traffics to the plamsa membrane [PDF]
Hemochromatosis type 2 gene (HFE2) is highly expressed in skeletal muscle and liver hepatocytes. Its encoded protein, hemojuvelin (HJV), is a co-receptor for the bone morphogenetic proteins 2 and 4 (BMP2 and BMP4) and enhances the BMP-induced hepcidin ...

Flowers for Synaptic Endocytosis [PDF]
Exocytosis and endocytosis of synaptic vesicles are tightly coordinated to maintain a steady supply of new vesicles during periods of extended neuronal stimulation. Yao et al. (2009) now report that a synaptic vesicle membrane protein named Flower promotes endocytosis at neuromuscular junctions in the fruit fly Drosophila.

Endocytosis is used by eukaryotic cells for ingesting external objects. Importantly, endocytosis is a major process that determines phage pharmacokinetics in vivo. Either dissemination of phages throughout the system or phage clearance engages cellular uptake of phage particles.

Liver‐specific lncRNAs associated with liver cancers
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are regulatory molecules with various functions. They are more tissue‐specific than proteins and can be used as potential biomarkers, particularly in cancer diagnostics and prognosis. In this review, we have systematically compiled all lncRNAs with exclusive expression in the human liver, verified their liver specificity ...

Importance of Endocytosis for the Biological Activity of Cedar Virus Fusion Protein
Endocytosis plays a particular role in the proteolytic activation of highly pathogenic henipaviruses Hendra (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) fusion (F) protein precursors. These proteins require endocytic uptake from the cell surface to be cleaved by cellular

Endocytosis and Signaling [PDF]
Far from being a simple attenuator, endocytosis is now also implicated in the initiation and propagation of signals. Signaling reciprocates by controlling endocytosis and contributing to its ability to selectively sort receptors. It appears that the quiet days of endocytosis as a relatively “stand-alone” process are over, as we expose the intricate ...

Pathway Analyses of Inherited Neuropathies Identify Putative Common Mechanisms of Axon Degeneration
ABSTRACT Objective Inherited neuropathies (IN) are associated with over 100 different genetic mutations presenting with a variety of phenotypes. This complexity suggests multiple pathways may converge onto a limited number of downstream pathways to effect axonal injury.

Endocytic Adaptors in Cardiovascular Disease
Endocytosis is the process of actively transporting materials into a cell by membrane engulfment. Traditionally, endocytosis was divided into three forms: phagocytosis (cell eating), pinocytosis (cell drinking), and the more selective receptor-mediated ...
