Small GTP Binding Proteins and the Control of Phagocytic Uptake
, 2005 Phagocytosis is a conserved cellular process in Eukaryotes. A multi-step process, it involves the recognition of paniculate material, e.g., microbes and apoptotic cells, their F-actin-driven engulfment and the subsequent destruction of the phagocytized ...

Sensor potency of the moonlighting enzyme-decorated cytoskeleton [PDF]
, 2013 Background: There is extensive evidence for the interaction of metabolic enzymes with the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. The significance of these interactions is far from clear.

Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.ATP is best known as the cell's energy currency, but it also shapes how proteins fold, interact, aggregate and form biomolecular condensates. This review explains the emerging physical principles behind these effects, including weak binding to charged protein regions, magnesium‐dependent behaviour and concentration‐dependent control of protein ...

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 ...

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 ...

Heterotropic regulation and negative homotropic cooperativity
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We identified a structural module common to some proteins that couple negative cooperativity with heterotropic regulation, two features that rarely coexist. These proteins are ring‐like and present an ordered asymmetry whereby noncontacting subunits are symmetric, and their tertiary structure differs from that of contacting subunits.

The cationic region of Rhes mediates its interactions with specific Gβ subunits [PDF]
, 2009 Ras homologue enriched in striatum (Rhes) is a small monomeric G protein which functions in a variety of cellular processes, including attenuation of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)signalling.

Rab1A Promotes Hepatic Steatosis by Suppressing Mitophagy via the Raf‐1/ERK1/2/PINK1 Signaling Axis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Why does fat accumulate in the liver? Our study reveals Rab1A as the molecular switch that silences the cell's mitochondrial cleanup crew. Turning Rab1A off reactivates mitophagy, clears excess fat, and reverses fatty liver disease in mice—offering a promising new therapeutic target for MASLD, a growing global health challenge.
