Genetic Modifiers of Parkinson's Disease: A Case–Control Study
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the associations of LRRK2 p.G2019S, GBA1 p.N409S, polygenic risk scores (PRS), and APOE E4 on PD penetrance, risk, and symptoms. Methods We conducted a US‐based observational case–control study using data from the 23andMe Inc. and Fox Insight Genetic Substudy (FIGS) databases.

ABSTRACT Background Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) is a major causative gene for axonal Charcot – Marie – Tooth disease type 2A (CMT2A), with a wide phenotypic spectrum. Comprehensive large ‐ scale genotype – phenotype association studies are essential for understanding disease pathogenesis and improved clinical management.

The beta subunit of the signal recognition particle receptor is a transmembrane GTPase that anchors the alpha subunit, a peripheral membrane GTPase, to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. [PDF]
The signal recognition particle receptor (SR) is required for the cotranslational targeting of both secretory and membrane proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane.

Crystallization of YIoQ, a GTPase of unknown function essential for Bacillus subtilis viability [PDF]
YLoQ is a putative ATP/GTP-binding protein of unknown function identified from the complete sequence of the Bacillus subtilis genome. A gene-knockout programme established that yloQ is one of a set of some 270 indispensable genes for the viability of ...

Objective A leading cause of death among scleroderma (SSc) patients, interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains challenging to prognosticate. The discovery of biomarkers that accurately determine which patients would benefit from close monitoring and aggressive therapy would be an essential clinical tool.

A Dynamin-3 Spliced Variant Modulates the Actin/Cortactin-Dependent Morphogenesis of Dendritic Spines [PDF]
Immature dendrites extend many actin-rich filopodial structures that can be replaced by synapse-containing dendritic spines as the neuron matures. The large GTPase dynamin-3 (Dyn3) is a component of the postsynapse in hippocampal neurons but its function

A Spatially Resolved View on the Aging Substantia nigra: An Exploratory Proteomic Study
Although aging is the most important risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases, the molecular effects of physiological aging are still understudied. By applying spatially‐resolved proteomic analyses of the human substantia nigra pars compacta, alterations in vesicular trafficking and mitochondrial proteins are observed, as well as reduced ...

MxB is an interferon-induced restriction factor of human herpesviruses
MxB is an interferon-induced GTPase that inhibits HIV replication. Here, Crameri et al. show that MxB restricts replication of herpesviruses by inhibiting delivery of incoming viral DNA into the nucleus, and this antiviral activity depends on MxB’s ...

Conformational changes in the GTPase modules of the signal reception particle and its receptor drive initiation of protein translocation [PDF]
During cotranslational protein targeting, two guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) in the signal recognition particle (SRP) and its receptor (SR) form a unique complex in which hydrolyses of both guanosine triphosphates (GTP) are activated in a shared ...
