Novel split-luciferase-based genetically encoded biosensors for noninvasive visualization of Rho GTPases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Rho family GTPases are critical regulators of many important cellular processes and the dysregulation of their activities is implicated in a variety of human diseases including oncogenesis and propagation of malignancy.

Structural analysis of a trimeric assembly of the mitochondrial dynamin-like GTPase Mgm1. [PDF]
, 2020 The fusion of inner mitochondrial membranes requires dynamin-like GTPases, Mgm1 in yeast and OPA1 in mammals, but how they mediate membrane fusion is poorly understood.

Transient tether between the SRP RNA and SRP receptor ensures efficient cargo delivery during cotranslational protein targeting [PDF]
, 2010 Kinetic control of macromolecular interactions plays key roles in biological regulation. An example of such control occurs in cotranslational protein targeting by the signal recognition particle (SRP), during which the SRP RNA and the cargo both ...

Targeting of PTP4A3 overexpression sensitises HGSOC cells towards chemotherapeutic drugs
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In HGSOC with normal KRAS expression, high PTP4A3 expression regulates autophagy activation. Conversely, in HGSOC with high KRAS expression, KRAS dictates autophagy control, and PTP4A3 is not required. When high PTP4A3 expression is inhibited, HGSOC cells are preferentially sensitised towards DNA‐damaging agents.

OPA1 disease alleles causing dominant optic atrophy have defects in cardiolipin-stimulated GTP hydrolysis and membrane tubulation [PDF]
, 2010 The dynamin-related GTPase OPA1 is mutated in autosomal dominant optic atrophy (DOA) (Kjer type), an inherited neuropathy of the retinal ganglion cells.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.AZD9291 has shown promise in targeted cancer therapy but is limited by resistance. In this study, we employed metabolic labeling and LC–MS/MS to profile time‐resolved nascent protein perturbations, allowing dynamic tracking of drug‐responsive proteins. We demonstrated that increased NNMT expression is associated with drug resistance, highlighting NNMT ...

Proteome-wide analysis reveals G protein-coupled receptor-like proteins in rice (Oryza sativa)
Plant Signaling & BehaviorG protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of transmembrane proteins in metazoans that mediate the regulation of various physiological responses to discrete ligands through heterotrimeric G protein subunits.
