RPGR is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the small GTPase RAB37 required for retinal function via autophagy regulation

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: Although the small GTPase RAB37 acts as an organizer of autophagosome biogenesis, the upstream regulatory mechanism of autophagy via guanosine diphosphate (GDP)-guanosine triphosphate (GTP) exchange in maintaining retinal function has not been ...

Pulmonary Vascular Endothelial Cells in Lung Diseases: Mechanisms, Therapeutic Strategies, and Future Directions

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
The pathogenic mechanisms of pulmonary vascular endothelial cells (VECs) in lung diseases and their multimodal therapeutic strategies. ABSTRACT Pulmonary vascular endothelial cells (VECs) are essential for the normal function of the lung, through maintaining vascular barrier integrity, regulating blood flow, and participating in inflammatory responses ...

Medial septum parvalbumin‐expressing inhibitory neurons are impaired in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the SCN1A gene, which encodes the voltage‐gated sodium channel Nav1.1 α subunit. Experiments in animal models of DS—including the haploinsufficient Scn1a+/− mouse—have identified impaired excitability of interneurons in the hippocampus and ...

Binding of Bacillus subtilis dynamin‐like protein DynA to the bacterial membrane is essential for effective phage defense

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The bacterial dynamin‐like protein DynA from Bacillus subtilis plays a key role in phage defense. It binds the plasma membrane through a unique paddle domain in its D1 subunit. This membrane association is essential for its protective function, likely preventing explosive membrane rupture following phage infection.

The importin‐alpha superfamily engages in ethylene signaling by shuttling ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE 2 from the endoplasmic reticulum to the nucleus

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The plant hormone ethylene regulates plant growth, ripening, senescence, and stress responses. The hormonal signal transmission, from receptors at the ER membrane to the transcriptional regulators in the nucleus, is still not completely understood.

Dynamics of the CD9 interactome during bacterial infection of epithelial cells by proximity labelling proteomics

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We describe the CD9 interactome in epithelial cells for the first time. The interactome is diverse and dynamic and changes dependent on infection with specific bacteria. We validate these data by showing functional interaction between CD9 with CD44 or CD147. We therefore demonstrate that CD9 is a universal organiser of bacterial adhesion platforms able

Template-directed biopolymerization: tape-copying Turing machines

open access: yes, 2012
DNA, RNA and proteins are among the most important macromolecules in a living cell. These molecules are polymerized by molecular machines. These natural nano-machines polymerize such macromolecules, adding one monomer at a time, using another linear ...

Polar‐localized EXO70G1 regulates root development in Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The putative exocyst subunit EXO70G1 exhibits apical‐basal polarity in Arabidopsis root cells; this polarity stabilizes membrane domains to facilitate targeting of the auxin transporter PIN‐FORMED2 during root development. ABSTRACT Cellular asymmetry, which represents a fundamental characteristic of cell polarity, is prominently illustrated by the ...
