Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Hierarchical classification of G-protein-coupled receptors with a PSO/ACO algorithm [PDF]
In our previous work we have proposed a hybrid Particle Swarm Optimisation / Ant Colony Optimisation (PSO/ACO) algorithm for discovering classification rules.

Adhesion GPCRs are widely expressed throughout the subsections of the gastrointestinal tract [PDF]
Background: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent one of the largest families of transmembrane receptors and the most common drug target. The Adhesion subfamily is the second largest one of GPCRs and its several members are known to mediate ...

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

G Protein-Coupled Receptors in the Mammalian Blood-Brain Barrier
The mammalian neurovascular unit (NVU) is comprised of neurons, glia, and vascular cells. The NVU is the nexus between the cardiovascular and central nervous system (CNS).

The ubiquitin ligase RNF115 is required for the clearance of damaged lysosomes
Upon lysosomal rupture, an E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF115 translocates from the cytosol to the damaged lysosomal membrane. Moreover, RNF115 depletion impairs the clearance of damaged lysosomes, identifying it as a key regulator of lysosomal quality control.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Frizzled Proteins are bona fide G Protein-Coupled Receptors
Receptors of the Frizzled family initiate Wnt ligand-dependent signaling controlling multiple steps in organism development and highly conserved in evolution. Misactivation of the Wnt/Frizzled signaling is cancerogenic.

Heterodimerization of apelin receptor and neurotensin receptor 1 induces phosphorylation of ERK1/2and cell proliferationviaGαq-mediated mechanism [PDF]
Dimerization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is crucial for receptor function including agonist affinity, efficacy, trafficking and specificity of signal transduction, including G protein coupling.
