The WD40 domain of ATG16L1 is required for its non-canonical role in lipidation of LC3 at single membranes [PDF]
A hallmark of macroautophagy is the covalent lipidation of LC3 and insertion into the double-membrane phagophore, which is driven by the ATG16L1/ATG5-ATG12 complex.

Fluorous-tagged bortezomib supramolecular nanomedicine for cancer therapy
Lipidation is a well-established post-translational modification strategy to modulate the structure and function of proteins and peptides. Lipids can improve the overall or local hydrophobicity of the biomolecule, boosting its affinity with the cell ...

In vivo measurement of apolipoprotein E from the brain interstitial fluid using microdialysis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The APOE4 allele variant is the strongest known genetic risk factor for developing late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. The link between apolipoprotein E (apoE) and Alzheimer’s disease is likely due in large part to the impact of apoE on the ...

Non-autophagic Golgi-LC3 lipidation facilitates TFE3 stress response against Golgi dysfunction
Lipidated ATG8/LC3 proteins are recruited to single membrane compartments as well as autophagosomes, supporting their functions. Although recent studies have shown that Golgi-LC3 lipidation follows Golgi damage, its molecular mechanism and function under

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Clinical Evolution of New Delhi Metallo-β-Lactamase (NDM) optimizes resistance under Zn(II) Deprivation [PDF]
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are rapidly spreading and taking a staggering toll on all health care systems, largely due to the dissemination of genes coding for potent carbapenemases.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

The only known required component of the newly described Type XI secretion system (TXISS) is an outer membrane protein (OMP) of the DUF560 family. TXISSOMPs are broadly distributed across proteobacteria, but properties of the cargo proteins they secrete ...

Hepatic VLDL secretion : DGAT1 determines particle size but not particle number, which can be supported entirely by DGAT2 [PDF]
We investigated whether, in view of its activity being expressed on both aspects of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER; dual membrane topology), diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) plays a distinctive role in determining the triglyceride (TAG) content of
