Transmembrane domain length is responsible for the ability of a plant reticulon to shape endoplasmic reticulum tubules in vivo [PDF]
Reticulons are integral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane proteins that have the ability to shape the ER into tubules. It has been hypothesized that their unusually long conserved hydrophobic regions cause reticulons to assume a wedge-like topology ...

Septin-dependent compartmentalization of the endoplasmic reticulum during yeast polarized growth [PDF]
Polarized cells frequently use diffusion barriers to separate plasma membrane domains. It is unknown whether diffusion barriers also compartmentalize intracellular organelles.

Summary Some nuclear envelope proteins are localised to both the nuclear envelope and the endoplasmic reticulum; therefore, it seems plausible that even small amounts of these proteins can influence the organisation of the endoplasmic reticulum. A simple

Destroy and exploit: catalyzed removal of hydroperoxides from the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]
Peroxidases are enzymes that reduce hydroperoxide substrates. In many cases, hydroperoxide reduction is coupled to the formation of a disulfide bond, which is transferred onto specific acceptor molecules, the so-called reducing substrates.

Transcriptional analysis implicates endoplasmic reticulum stress in bovine spongiform encephalopathy. [PDF]
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a fatal, transmissible, neurodegenerative disease of cattle. To date, the disease process is still poorly understood.

Membrane-associated RING ubiquitin ligase RNF-121 and advancement of cancer [PDF]
Exploration of E3 ubiquitin ligases as potential therapeutic targets has been ongoing for two to three decades. Various chemicals and drugs have been developed to either upregulate or inhibit the activity of E3 ligases, aiming to mitigate several ...

Endoplasmic reticulum stress—a key guardian in cancer
Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is a cellular stress response characterized by excessive contraction of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is a pathological hallmark of many diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, and neurodegenerative diseases.

The association of shiga-like toxin with detergent-resistant membranes is modulated by glucosylceramide and is an essential requirement in the endoplasmic reticulum for a cytotoxic effect [PDF]
Receptor-mediated internalization to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and subsequent retro-translocation to the cytosol are essential sequential processes required for the productive intoxication of susceptible mammalian cells by Shiga-like toxin-1 (SLTx).
