Phosphatidylserine polarization is required for proper Cdc42 localization and for development of cell polarity. [PDF]

, 2010
We used genetically-encoded fluorescent probes to visualize the distribution of phosphatidylserine (PS) in live S. cerevisiae. The majority of the PS was found to reside in the cytosolic leaflet of the plasma membrane.

ARC Expands the DAAM1 Microexon‐Mediated Actin–RHOA/ROCK Interplay

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Actin cytoskeleton and its dynamics play a crucial role in synaptic function, influencing dendritic spines' structural and functional plasticity. Recent findings unveiled the significance of alternative splicing of a neural‐specific microexon in DAAM1 in modulating actin's role in synaptic processes.

Frizzled Proteins are bona fide G Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]

, 2009
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.

An Orthogonal Way of Writing the Tubulin Code

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Elongator complex has long been characterized for its role in tRNA modification and modulation of protein translation. Beyond these established functions, recent findings reveal an unexpected role for Elongator in directly interacting and tuning microtubule dynamics and properties, broadening its biological significance in eukaryotic cells.

Purification, Fluorescent Labeling, and Detyrosination of Mammalian Cell Tubulin for Biochemical Assays

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microtubules play essential roles in numerous cellular processes. All microtubules are built from the protein tubulin, yet individual microtubules can differ spatially and temporally due to their tubulin isotype composition and post‐translational modifications (PTMs).

Comparative Analysis of Septin Modifiers, Forchlorfenuron and UR214‐9, on Mitochondrial Fragmentation and Lytic Cell Death

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Septins are conserved GTP‐binding proteins that play key roles in cell division, mitochondrial dynamics and immune responses. Despite their importance to human health, pharmacological compounds to modify septins remain limited. Forchlorfenuron (FCF) was the first small molecule identified to modify septins, disrupting their organisation and ...

Cytotoxicity of Atropisomeric [1,1′‐Binaphthalene]‐2,2′‐Diamines (BINAM) and Analogs in Human Cancer Cells: Enantioselectivity, Structure–Activity Relationships, and Mechanism

ChemMedChem, EarlyView.
It is reported for the first time that atropisomeric (R)‐[1,1′‐binaphthalene]‐2,2′‐diamine (R‐BINAM, 1(R)), but not (S)‐[1,1′‐binaphthalene]‐2,2′‐diamine (S‐BINAM, 1(S)), is a moderately potent spindle poison, causing antiproliferation, depolymerization of microtubules, multipolar spindles, pericentriolar material (PCM) fragmentation, mitotic ...

Clinical and plasma proteomic characterization of heart failure with supranormal left ventricular ejection fraction: An emerging entity of heart failure

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Heart failure (HF) with supranormal ejection fraction (HFsnEF) is an unnoticed but emerging entity in HF. This study showed that HFsnEF carries a similarly increased cardiovascular risk as HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and distinct structural and proteomic characteristics from HFrEF, warranting a further comprehensive understanding and ...
