A conserved morphogenetic mechanism for epidermal ensheathment of nociceptive sensory neurites. [PDF]
Interactions between epithelial cells and neurons influence a range of sensory modalities including taste, touch, and smell. Vertebrate and invertebrate epidermal cells ensheath peripheral arbors of somatosensory neurons, including nociceptors, yet the ...

Clostridium perfringensepsilon toxin H149A mutant as a platform for receptor binding studies [PDF]
Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin (Etx) is a pore-forming toxin responsible for a severe and rapidly fatal enterotoxemia of ruminants. The toxin is classified as a category B bioterrorism agent by the U.S.

Microdomain Organization of the Plasma Membrane in Keratinocytes [PDF]
Plasma membrane of the keratinocyte is organized in a domain structure comprising the nanoscale areas of the lipid in the liquid ordered state (comparable to lipid rafts) surrounded by the liquid-disordered lipid fraction. In this review we summarize the current state of knowledge on the microdomain organization of the keratinocytes plasma membrane ...

The flavonoid compound LW‐213 exerts its antitumor effects through a novel mechanism involving lysosomal‐ER calcium regulation. Specifically, LW‐213 binds to LIMP2, which induces perinuclear clustering of lysosomes and facilitates calcium‐mediated lysosome‐ER interactions.

A novel mutation in isoform 3 of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump impairs cellular Ca2+ homeostasis in a patient with cerebellar ataxia and laminin subunit 1\u3b1 mutations. [PDF]
The particular importance of Ca2+ signaling to neurons demands its precise regulation within their cytoplasm. Isoform 3 of the plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (the PMCA3 pump), which is highly expressed in brain and cerebellum, plays an important role in the

Dynamic composition of membrane microdomains [PDF]
Lipid rafts are cholesterol enriched membrane microdomains involved in many cellular functions. Caveolae are a sub-type of lipid rafts that are smooth invaginations of the plasma membrane (PM) whose formation requires caveolin-1 (Cav1). Here, we determined the lipid rafts and caveolae proteome from various cells in an unbiased manner and examined the ...

Ceramide-enriched microdomains in planar membranes
Ceramide has a large effect on the properties of biological membranes, increasing lipid order and promoting lateral phase separation, and plays an important role in cell signaling. This review provides an overview of recent studies of the effects of direct ceramide incorporation and enzymatic ceramide generation on planar supported membranes, including

This study reveals a novel mechanistic connection between cancer and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)‐induced cardiac injury. The meta‐analysis demonstrates significantly higher incidence ratios of both all‐cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in cancer patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared to non‐cancer patients.

Long Term High‐Salt Diet Induces Cognitive Impairments via Down‐Regulating SHANK1
The study identifies a novel mechanistic link between long‐term HS diet and cognitive impairment, wherein PKA/CREB axis inactivation leads to SHANK1 reduction, synaptic damage, and cognitive deficits. Abstract High‐salt (HS) diet is an established risk factor for cognitive impairment, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
