The Role of the CLIC/GEEC Endocytic Pathway for Mechanophysical Transfection of DNA. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Gene Med
The clathrin‐independent carriers/GPI‐enriched endocytic compartments (CLIC/GEEC or CG) pathway is a high‐capacity, clathrin‐, and dynamin‐independent route for nutrient and membrane‐anchored cargo uptake of DNA. This overview highlights its molecular mechanisms, regulation, cellular roles, and relevance to mechanophysical DNA transfection.

Fundamental Neurochemistry Review: Sphingolipids and Ceramides in Brain Development. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Neurochem
Ceramides and sphingolipids in brain development and cell compartments. Ceramides and sphingolipids are known to influence multiple steps of brain development, including the formation of the neural tube, neural stem cell polarity and proliferation at the ventricular boundary, neuronal migration—for example, whilst migrating on radial glial processes ...

p24 Family Proteins Are Involved in Transport to the Plasma Membrane of GPI-Anchored Proteins in Plants1

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2020
Proteins of the p24 family interact with glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins for their efficient ER export and transport to the plasma membrane in Arabidopsis.

The C-terminal protoxin region of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ab toxin has a functional role in binding to GPI-anchored receptors in the insect midgut

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2018
Bacillus thuringiensis Cry toxins are used worldwide for controlling insects. Cry1Ab is produced as a 130-kDa protoxin that is activated by proteolytic removal of an inert 500 amino-acid-long C-terminal region, enabling the activated toxin to bind to ...

Dynamic Meso-Scale Anchorage of GPI-Anchored Receptors in the Plasma Membrane: Prion Protein vs. Thy1

open access: yesCell Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2017
The central mechanism for the transmission of the prion protein misfolding is the structural conversion of the normal cellular prion protein to the pathogenic misfolded prion protein, by the interaction with misfolded prion protein. This process might be

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.
