Disrupting Lipid Raft Microdomains to Block Polyploid Giant Cancer Cell Budding and Enhance Radiotherapy Response

open access: yesAdvanced Science
Radiotherapy failure often arises from tumor repopulation by treatment‐resistant cancer cells. Following irradiation, cancer cells can undergo endoreplication to form polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs)—radiation‐persistent cells capable of generating ...

Membrane curvature sensing and symmetry breaking of the M2 proton channel from Influenza A

open access: yeseLife
The M2 proton channel aids in the exit of mature influenza viral particles from the host plasma membrane through its ability to stabilize regions of high negative Gaussian curvature (NGC) that occur at the neck of budding virions.

Mps2 links Csm4 and Mps3 to form a telomere-associated LINC complex in budding yeast

open access: yesLife Science Alliance, 2020
The canonical LINC complex is composed of two different transmembrane proteins; this work reveals the heterotrimeric composition of the telomere-associated LINC complex in budding yeast. The linker of the nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex is

Diverse plasma membrane protrusions act as platforms for extracellular vesicle shedding

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2021
Plasma membrane curvature is an important factor in the regulation of cellular phenotype and is critical for various cellular activities including the shedding of extracellular vesicles (EV).

MG53 Regulates Membrane Budding and Exocytosis in Muscle Cells [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2009
Membrane recycling and remodeling contribute to multiple cellular functions, including cell fusion events during myogenesis. We have identified a tripartite motif (TRIM72) family member protein named MG53 and defined its role in mediating the dynamic process of membrane fusion and exocytosis in striated muscle.

BAP31 Drives Cartilage Calcification through Disruption of Autophagosome–Lysosome Fusion in Osteoarthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical stress activates BAP31 in chondrocytes. BAP31 competes with ATG14 for binding to STX17, disrupting the STX17–ATG14 complex required for autophagosome–lysosome fusion. The resultant autophagic flux blockade drives the generation of autophagy‐derived exosomes, which mediate pathological cartilage calcification in OA. Chondrocyte‐targeted BAP31

Packaging of actin into Ebola virus VLPs

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2005
The actin cytoskeleton has been implicated in playing an important role assembly and budding of several RNA virus families including retroviruses and paramyxoviruses.

Domain-induced budding of fluid membranes

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 1993
Domains within fluid membranes grow by the aggregation of molecules which diffuse laterally within the membrane matrix. A simple theoretical model is introduced which predicts that a flat or weakly curved domain becomes unstable at a certain limiting size and then undergoes a budding or invagination process.

The rim15-Endosulfine-PP2ACdc55 signalling module regulates entry into gametogenesis and quiescence via distinct mechanisms in budding yeast [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Quiescence and gametogenesis represent two distinct survival strategies in response to nutrient starvation in budding yeast. Precisely how environmental signals are sensed by yeast cells to trigger quiescence and gametogenesis is not fully understood.
