Peroxisomal Membrane Contact Sites in Yeasts [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Peroxisomes are ubiquitous, single membrane-bound organelles that play a crucial role in lipid metabolism and human health. While peroxisome number is maintained by the division of existing peroxisomes, nascent peroxisomes can be generated from the ...

Peroxisomal Membrane Contact Sites in Mammalian Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Peroxisomes participate in essential cellular metabolic processes, such as oxidation of fatty acids (FAs) and maintenance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis.

Viral regulation of organelle membrane contact sites [PDF]
PLoS BiologyAt the core of organelle functions lies their ability and need to form dynamic organelle–organelle networks that drive intracellular communication and coordination of cellular pathways. These networks are facilitated by membrane contact sites (MCSs) that promote both intra-organelle and inter-organelle communication.

Acidocalcisome-Mitochondrion Membrane Contact Sites in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Pathogens, 2018 Membrane contact sites are regions of close apposition between two organelles, typically less than 30 nanometers apart, that facilitate transfer of biomolecules.

Membrane contact sites regulate vacuolar fission via sphingolipid metabolism [PDF]
eLifeMembrane contact sites (MCSs) are junctures that perform important roles including coordinating lipid metabolism. Previous studies have indicated that vacuolar fission/fusion processes are coupled with modifications in the membrane lipid composition ...

MCSdb, a database of proteins residing in membrane contact sites [PDF]
Scientific DataOrganelles do not act as autonomous discrete units but rather as interconnected hubs that engage in extensive communication by forming close contacts called “membrane contact sites (MCSs)”.

Membrane contact sites and cytoskeleton‐membrane interactions in autophagy [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2022 In Eukaryotes, organelle interactions occur at specialised contact sites between organelle membranes. Contact sites are regulated by specialised tethering proteins, which bring organelle membranes into close proximity, and facilitate functional crosstalk between compartments.
