G3BPs tether the TSC complex to lysosomes and suppress mTORC1 signaling [PDF]
Ras GTPase-activating protein-binding proteins 1 and 2 (G3BP1 and G3BP2, respectively) are widely recognized as core components of stress granules (SGs). We report that G3BPs reside at the cytoplasmic surface of lysosomes. They act in a non-redundant manner to anchor the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) protein complex to lysosomes and suppress ...

Alphavirus-host interactions : how to unravel the proviral activity of G3BP
The genus Alphavirus belongs to the virus family Togaviridiae, a group of arthropod-borne enveloped RNA viruses with single-stranded, positive-sense genome. Members of this genus can be found worldwide and are geographically distinguished into Old World and New World alphaviruses.

The G3BP stress-granule proteins reinforce the integrated stress response translation programme. [PDF]
ABSTRACT When mammalian cells are exposed to stress, they coordinate the condensation of stress granules (SGs) through the action of proteins G3BP1 and G3BP2 (G3BPs) and, simultaneously, undergo a massive reduction in translation. Although SGs and G3BPs have been linked to this translation response, their overall impact has been unclear.

Combined structural, biochemical and cellular evidence demonstrates that both FGDF motifs in alphavirus nsP3 are required for efficient replication [PDF]
Recent findings have highlighted the role of the Old World alphavirus non-structural protein 3 (nsP3) as a host defence modulator that functions by disrupting stress granules, subcellular phase-dense RNA/protein structures formed upon environmental ...

Visualization of G3BP Stress Granules Dynamics in Live Primary Cells [PDF]
SGs can be visualized in cells by immunostaining of specific protein components or polyA+ mRNAs. SGs are highly dynamic and the study of their assembly and fate is important to understand the cellular response to stress. The deficiency in key factors of SGs like G3BP (RasGAP SH3 domain Binding Protein) leads to developmental defects in mice and ...

Identification of small molecule inhibitors of G3BP-driven stress granule formation
ABSTRACT Stress granule formation is triggered by the release of mRNAs from polysomes and is promoted by the action of the paralogs G3BP1 and G3BP2. G3BP1/2 proteins bind mRNAs and thereby promote the condensation of mRNPs into stress granules.

Expression of G3BP and RhoC in esophageal squamous carcinoma and their effect on prognosis [PDF]
To investigate the expression and significance of G3BP and RhoC proteins in esophageal squamous carcinoma (ESC).The expression of G3BP and Rhoc proteins in 80 cases of ESC was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship was studied between the expression of the two proteins and tumor size, differentiation degree, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis
