Spatial Mechano‐Signaling Regulation of GTPases through Non‐Degradative Ubiquitination
An integrative ubiquitinome and proteome analysis demonstrates that the non‐degradative ubiquitination of several GTPases is regulated by mechano‐signaling. Spatial analysis reveals RAP1 ubiquitination specifically in the descending aorta, a region exposed to laminar shear stress.

Defining bone fide effectors of RAS GTPases
RAS GTPases transmit extracellular signals to multiple intracellular signalling pathways through direct interaction with effector proteins. These proteins typically employ RAS‐binding RBD domains to complex with activated GTPases, but the specificity of these interactions remains poorly explored and there remain few data describing the mechanistic ...

Exceptional aggressiveness of cerebral cavernous malformation disease associated with PDCD10 mutations. [PDF]
PurposeThe phenotypic manifestations of cerebral cavernous malformation disease caused by rare PDCD10 mutations have not been systematically examined, and a mechanistic link to Rho kinase-mediated hyperpermeability, a potential therapeutic target, has ...

Heart of glass anchors Rasip1 at endothelial cell-cell junctions to support vascular integrity. [PDF]
Heart of Glass (HEG1), a transmembrane receptor, and Rasip1, an endothelial-specific Rap1-binding protein, are both essential for cardiovascular development.

Abstract Objective Neurosurgery is a safe and effective form of treatment for select children with drug‐resistant epilepsy. Still, there is concern that it remains underutilized, and that seizure freedom rates have not improved over time. We investigated referral and surgical practices, patient characteristics, and postoperative outcomes over the past ...

Heg1 and Ccm1/2 proteins control endocardial mechanosensitivity during zebrafish valvulogenesis
Endothelial cells respond to different levels of fluid shear stress through adaptations of their mechanosensitivity. Currently, we lack a good understanding of how this contributes to sculpting of the cardiovascular system.

A Novel CCM2 Gene Mutation Associated With Cerebral Cavernous Malformation
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are the second most prevalent type of vascular malformation within the central nervous system. CCMs occur in two forms—sporadic and familial—the latter of which has an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with ...

Impaired retinoic acid signaling in cerebral cavernous malformations
The capillary-venous pathology cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is caused by loss of CCM1/Krev interaction trapped protein 1 (KRIT1), CCM2/MGC4607, or CCM3/PDCD10 in some endothelial cells.

A Case Report and Overview of Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformation Pathogenesis in an Adult Patient [PDF]
OBJECTIVE We present a case of a 39 year-old woman who presented with a solitary cavernous malformation hemorrhage without any other lesions, and subsequently presented several months later with a new hemorrhage from a de novo lesion.

Association of Krev-1/rap1a with Krit1, a novel ankyrin repeat-containing protein encoded by a gene mapping to 7q21-22 [PDF]
Krev-1/rap1A is an evolutionarily conserved Ras-family GTPase whose cellular function remains unclear, but which has been proposed to function as a tumor suppressor gene, and may act as a Ras antagonist. To elucidate Krev-1 activity, we have used LexA-Krev-1 in a two-hybrid screen of a HeLa cell cDNA library.
