Vaccinia Virus Infection Requires Maturation of Macropinosomes. [PDF]
The prototypic poxvirus, vaccinia virus (VACV), occurs in two infectious forms, mature virions (MVs) and extracellular virions (EVs). Both enter HeLa cells by inducing macropinocytic uptake.

Effects of Excess Brain-Derived Human α-Synuclein on Synaptic Vesicle Trafficking
α-Synuclein is a presynaptic protein that regulates synaptic vesicle trafficking under physiological conditions. However, in several neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple system atrophy, α ...

Astrocytes Are a Key Target for Neurotropic Viral Infection
Astrocytes are increasingly recognized as important viral host cells in the central nervous system. These cells can produce relatively high quantities of new virions.

Structure of cellular ESCRT-III spirals and their relationship to HIV budding
The ESCRT machinery along with the AAA+ ATPase Vps4 drive membrane scission for trafficking into multivesicular bodies in the endocytic pathway and for the topologically related processes of viral budding and cytokinesis, but how they accomplish this ...

Rab7 palmitoylation is required for efficient endosome-to-TGN trafficking [PDF]
Retromer is a multimeric protein complex that mediates endosome-to-TGN and endosome-to-plasma membrane trafficking of integral membrane proteins. Dysfunction of this complex has been linked to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Summary: Mutations in Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) cause Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the precise function of LRRK2 remains unclear. We report an interaction between LRRK2 and VPS52, a subunit of the Golgi-associated retrograde protein ...

The BAR Domain Superfamily Proteins from Subcellular Structures to Human Diseases
Eukaryotic cells have complicated membrane systems. The outermost plasma membrane contains various substructures, such as invaginations and protrusions, which are involved in endocytosis and cell migration.

Syntaxin 16 and syntaxin 5 are required for efficient retrograde transport of several exogenous and endogenous cargo proteins [PDF]
Retrograde transport allows proteins and lipids to leave the endocytic pathway to reach other intracellular compartments, such as trans-Golgi network (TGN)/Golgi membranes, the endoplasmic reticulum and, in some instances, the cytosol. Here, we have used

Phospholipid, cholesterol, polypeptide and glycoprotein composition of hepatic endosome subfractions [PDF]
The composition of hepatic endosome subfractions was compared directly with that of plasma membranes and Golgi-apparatus fractions. The neutral lipid and phospholipid composition of two endosome subfractions separated on Nycodenz gradients from a parent ...

Identification of Rab30 as a novel regulator of tubular endosomes
Tubular-shaped recycling endosomes, known as tubular endosomes, are present in certain types of cells, including HeLa cells, and they regulate the recycling of clathrin-independent endocytosed (CIE) cargo proteins to the plasma membrane.
