ER-Mitochondria contact sites : a new regulator of cellular calcium flux comes into play [PDF]
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria membrane contacts are hotspots for calcium signaling. In this issue, Raturi et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201512077) show that the thioredoxin TMX1 inhibits the calcium pump SERCA2b at ...

Mitochondrial protein import [PDF]
Proteolytic degradation of receptor sites on the mitochondrial surface strongly reduces the efficiency of mitochondrial protein import. The remaining residual import still involves basic mechanisms of protein import, including: insertion of precursors ...

We recently reported that the ER stress kinase PERK regulates ER-mitochondria appositions and ER– plasma membrane (ER-PM) contact sites, independent of its canonical role in the unfolded protein response. PERK regulation of ER-PM contacts was revealed by

Lipid transfer proteins do their thing anchored at membrane contact sites… but what is their thing? [PDF]
Membrane contact sites are structures where two organelles come close together to regulate flow of material and information between them. One type of inter-organelle communication is lipid exchange, which must occur for membrane maintenance and in ...

Transport of proteins into mitochondria [PDF]
Translocational intermediates of precursor proteins of ATPase F1β subunit and cytochrome c1 across mitochondrial membranes were analyzed using two different approaches, transport at low temperature and transport after binding of precursor proteins to ...

Membrane Contact Sites and Organelles Interaction in Plant Autophagy
Autophagy is an intracellular trafficking and degradation system for recycling of damaged organelles, mis-folded proteins and cytoplasmic constituents. Autophagy can be divided into non-selective autophagy and selective autophagy according to the cargo ...

Pex30-dependent membrane contact sites maintain ER lipid homeostasis. [PDF]
AbstractIn eukaryotic cells, communication between organelles and the coordination of their activities depend on membrane contact sites (MCS). How MCS are regulated under the dynamic cellular environment remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate how Pex30, a membrane protein localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), regulates multiple MCS in ...

Editorial: Membrane lipids in T cell functions [PDF]
Plasma membrane lipids play essential roles in regulating T cell signaling, differentiation, and effector functions. The major lipid species in the plasma membrane are glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and sterol lipids.

Biogenesis of the mitochondrial phosphate carrier [PDF]
The mitochondrial phosphate carrier (PiC) is a member of the family of inner-membrane carrier proteins which are generally synthesized without a cleavable presequence.
