Septin 9 and phosphoinositides regulate lysosome localization and their association with lipid droplets

iScience, 2022
Summary: The accumulation of lipid droplets (LDs) in the liver is a hallmark of steatosis, which is often associated with lysosomal dysfunction. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Constitutive activation of S1P receptors at the trans-Golgi network is required for surface transport carrier formation

iScience, 2021
Summary: The importance of the G-protein βγ subunits in the regulation of cargo transport from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the plasma membrane (PM) is well accepted; however, the molecular mechanism underlying the G-protein activation at the TGN ...

Myocardin-related transcription factor and serum response factor regulate cilium turnover by both transcriptional and local mechanisms

iScience, 2021
Summary: Turnover of the primary cilium (PC) is critical for proliferation and tissue homeostasis. Each key component of the PC resorption machinery, the HEF1/Aurora kinase A (AurA)/HDAC6 pathway harbors cis-elements potentially targeted by the ...

Impaired endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondrial signaling in ataxia-telangiectasia

iScience, 2021
Summary: There is evidence that ATM mutated in ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) plays a key role in protecting against mitochondrial dysfunction, the mechanism for which remains unresolved.

Rab33b-exocyst interaction mediates localized secretion for focal adhesion turnover and cell migration

iScience, 2022
Summary: Rab proteins are well known regulators of intracellular trafficking; however, more and more studies point to their function also in other cellular processes, including cell migration.

Sequence-directed concentration of G protein-coupled receptors in COPII vesicles

iScience, 2023
Summary: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest superfamily of plasma membrane signaling proteins. However, virtually nothing is known about their recruitment to COPII vesicles for forward delivery after synthesis in the endoplasmic ...

A nonautophagic role of ATG5 in regulating cell growth by targeting c-Myc for proteasome-mediated degradation

iScience, 2021
Summary: Autophagy is a conserved biological process that maintains cell homeostasis by targeting macromolecules for lysosome-mediated degradation. The levels of autophagy are relatively lower under normal conditions than under stress conditions (e.g ...

Lack of evidence for a role of anthrax toxin receptors as surface receptors for collagen VI and for its cleaved-off C5 domain/endotrophin

iScience, 2022
Summary: The microfibril-forming collagen VI is proteolytically cleaved and it was proposed that the released C-terminal Kunitz domain (C5) of the α3 chain is an adipokine important for tumor progression and fibrosis.

Differential N-terminal processing of beta and gamma actin

iScience, 2022
Summary: Cytoplasmic beta- and gamma-actin are ubiquitously expressed in every eukaryotic cell. They are encoded by different genes, but their amino acid sequences differ only by four conservative substitutions at the N-termini, making it difficult to ...

Computational identification of protein-coding sequences by comparative analysis [PDF]

International Journal of Data Mining and Bioinformatics, 2007
Gene prediction is an essential step in understanding the genome of a species once it has been sequenced. For that, a promising direction in current research on gene finding is a comparative genomics approach. In this paper, we present a novel approach to identifying evolutionarily conserved protein-coding sequences in genomes.
