Differential control of CXCR4 and CD4 downregulation by HIV-1 Gag
Background The ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) machinery functions to sort cellular receptors into the lumen of the multivesicular body (MVB) prior to lysosomal degradation.

ESCRT recruitment to damaged lysosomes is dependent on the ATG8 E3-like ligases
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery plays an essential role in the sealing of endolysosomal membranes damaged by pathogenic, chemical or physical stress.

Defective axonal transport in motor neuron disease [PDF]
Several recent studies have highlighted the role of axonal transport in the pathogenesis of motor neuron diseases. Mutations in genes that control microtubule regulation and dynamics have been shown to cause motor neuron degeneration in mice and in a ...

Molecular crosstalk via exosomes in lung cancer progression
“Molecular and theranostics roles of exosomes in Lung Cancer.” Abstract Exosomes play a critical role in lung cancer metastasis, facilitating tumor progression through intercellular communication between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment. These nanosized extracellular vesicles carry bioactive molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and ...

A unique role for the host ESCRT proteins in replication of Tomato bushy stunt virus. [PDF]
Plus-stranded RNA viruses replicate in infected cells by assembling viral replicase complexes consisting of viral- and host-coded proteins. Previous genome-wide screens with Tomato bushy stunt tombusvirus (TBSV) in a yeast model host revealed the ...

ESCRT disruption provides evidence against trans-synaptic signaling via extracellular vesicles
ESCRT depletion disrupts synaptic extracellular vesicle (EV) release without affecting signaling by several EV cargoes. EVs are phagocytosed by adjacent cells, and ESCRT disruption causes compensatory autophagy.

The HIV-1 late domain-2 S40A polymorphism in antiretroviral (or ART)-exposed individuals influences protease inhibitor susceptibility. [PDF]
BackgroundThe p6 region of the HIV-1 structural precursor polyprotein, Gag, contains two motifs, P7TAP11 and L35YPLXSL41, designated as late (L) domain-1 and -2, respectively.

ABSTRACT Epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental, dynamic cellular process involved in embryonic development, metastasis, organ fibrosis, and tissue regeneration. To define the molecular landscape of secreted midbody remnants (MBRs) to the EMT process, a proteome analysis of MBRs released from Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and

CHMP4C: A novel regulator of the mitotic spindle checkpoint
The mitotic spindle checkpoint delays anaphase onset until all chromosomes have achieved stable kinetochore-microtubule attachments. Here, we discuss recent findings showing that CHMP4C, a component of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport
