Updates on protein-prenylation and associated inherited retinopathies
Membrane-anchored proteins play critical roles in cell signaling, cellular architecture, and membrane biology. Hydrophilic proteins are post-translationally modified by a diverse range of lipid molecules such as phospholipids ...

ABSTRACT Background Muscular dystrophies (MD) are a genetically diverse group of muscle disorders, many of which arise from mutations in genes encoding components of the sarcolemma dystrophin‐associated glycoprotein complex (DGC). Despite their notorious heterogeneity, MDs consistently lead to chronic myofiber weakening, necrosis and loss of muscle ...

Reversible Binding and Trafficking of DNA Origami Between Lipid Membrane Phases
A DNA origami nanostructure was functionalized with different lipophilic anchor types. Depending on the anchor type, these nanodevices selectively bind to a certain lipid phase with distinctive rigidities. Using the strand displacement method, these functionalized DNA origami nanostructures go through dimerization/monomerization steps, thereby ...

YKT6 Is Essential for Male Fertility by Promoting Meiosis Progression During Spermatogenesis of Mice
Specifically ablating Ykt6 in pre‐meiotic germ cells and meiotic spermatocytes leads to complete sterility and meiotic arrest in conditional knockout male mice. YTK6 is required for stabilising intercellular bridges between spermatocytes due to its key role in maintaining protein homeostasis and vesicular transport‐dependent functions in spermatocytes,

Farnesylation mediates brassinosteroid biosynthesis to regulate abscisic acid responses
Protein farnesylation is a post-translational modification involving the addition of a 15-carbon farnesyl isoprenoid to the carboxy terminus of select proteins1–3.

Competition between binding partners of yeast Pex3 affects peroxisome biology
Pex3 is a peroxisomal membrane protein (PMP) that specifically recruits several binding partners. In the yeast Hansenula polymorpha, Atg30 (pexophagy), Inp1 (inheritance) and Pex19 (receptor for new PMPs) associate with Pex3. Overexpression of any of these proteins affects peroxisomal processes because these proteins compete for binding to Pex3.
