Macrophage‐derived MLKL in alcohol‐associated liver disease: Regulation of phagocytosis
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 EtOH causes leaky gut allowing bacteria and PAMPs into the liver, resulting in hepatic inflammation and injury. We demonstrate that LPS induces STAT1‐mediated expression and phosphorylation of MLKL in macrophages and identify a novel function that myeloid MLKL translocates to phagosomes and lysosomes and regulates phagocytosis, which contributes to the

Molecular Characterization of GTP Binding Protein Gene in Dermatophyte Pathogen Trichophyton rubrum [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2006 Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) is an anthropophilic dermatophyte that is distributed worldwide and causes common cutaneous disease such as mycosis. Although several properties of this fungus have been investigated so far, however a few studies were ...

Small GTPase Ran and Ran-binding proteins
Biomolecular Concepts, 2012 Like many other small GTPases, Ran functions in eukaryotic cells as a molecular switch that cycles between GTP- and GDP-bound forms. Through the proper modulation of the GTP/GDP cycle, Ran functions with a number of Ran-binding proteins to control a ...

Pathogenic Neurofibromatosis type 1 gene variants in tumors of non‐NF1 patients and role of R1276
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Somatic variants of the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene occur across neoplasms without clinical manifestation of the disease NF1. We identified emerging somatic pathogenic NF1 variants and hotspots, for example, at the arginine finger 1276. Those missense variants provide fundamental information about neurofibromin's role in cancer.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study investigates a schematic overview of the mechanistic pathways. The relationship between myopia and DR has long been of clinical interest. In diabetic mice, Nna1 expression is downregulated, whereas in diabetic mice with FDM, Nna1 expression is upregulated–particularly in Müller cells–accompanied by decreased vascular endothelial growth ...

Rabs, Rips, FIPs, and Endocytic Membrane Traffic
The Scientific World Journal, 2003 Rab GTPases, proteins belonging to the Ras-like small GTP-binding protein superfamily, have emerged as master regulators of cellular membrane transport.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Mobile messenger RNAs (mRNAs) can travel long distances, serving as systemic signals that participate in plant growth and stress acclimation. This work determines that PHR proteins mediate the Pi starvation response (PSR)‐specific long‐distance transport of mRNAs and that these PSR‐specific mobile mRNAs represent noncoding transcripts in recipient ...

Reconstructed evolutionary history of the yeast septins Cdc11 and Shs1
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Septins are GTP-binding proteins conserved across metazoans. They can polymerize into extended filaments and, hence, are considered a component of the cytoskeleton.

Aminoacyl-tRNA-charged eukaryotic elongation factor 1A is the bona fide substrate for Legionella pneumophila effector glucosyltransferases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Legionella pneumophila, which is the causative organism of Legionnaireś disease, translocates numerous effector proteins into the host cell cytosol by a type IV secretion system during infection.

Mechanical Cues Regulate Cargo Sorting and Export at the Golgi
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A pathway is identified linking extracellular matrix stiffness to secretion via Src–FAK–AMPK–GBF1 signaling. Golgi‐localized GBF1 acts as a mechanotransducer whose phosphorylation controls post‐Golgi cargo sorting toward secretion or lysosomal degradation.
