SND3 is the membrane insertase within a distinct SEC61 translocon complex

Nature Communications
During the biogenesis of most eukaryotic integral membrane proteins (IMPs), transmembrane domains are inserted into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane by a dedicated insertase or the SEC61 translocon.

Truncation of the Mrp20 Protein Reveals New Ribosome‐assembly Subcomplex in Mitochondria [PDF]

, 2011
Mitochondrial ribosomal protein 20 (Mrp20) is a component of the yeast mitochondrial large (54S) ribosomal subunit and is homologous to the bacterial L23 protein, located at the ribosomal tunnel exit site.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Expression and Purification of the Human Voltage-Gated Proton Channel (hHv1)

Bio-Protocol
The voltage-gated proton channel (Hv1) is a membrane protein that dissipates acute cell proton accumulations. To understand the molecular mechanisms explaining Hv1 function, methods for purifying the protein are needed. Previously, methods were developed

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

CD146 is required for VEGF-C-induced lymphatic sprouting during lymphangiogenesis

Scientific Reports, 2017
VEGF-C is essential for lymphangiogenesis during development and tumor progression. VEGFR-3 is the well-known cognate receptor of VEGF-C to regulate lymphatic migration and proliferation, but the receptor of VEGF-C in regulating lymphatic sprouting, the ...

Direct Binding between Pre-S1 and TRP-like Domains in TRPP Channels Mediates Gating and Functional Regulation by PIP2

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are regulated by diverse stimuli comprising thermal, chemical, and mechanical modalities. They are also commonly regulated by phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), with underlying mechanisms ...

Autoinhibition of TRPV6 Channel and Regulation by PIP2

iScience, 2020
Summary: Transient receptor potential vanilloid 6 (TRPV6), a calcium-selective channel possessing six transmembrane domains (S1-S6) and intracellular N and C termini, plays crucial roles in calcium absorption in epithelia and bone and is involved in ...

Membrane topology of the ArsB protein, the membrane subunit of an anion-translocating ATPase [PDF]

, 1992
The ars operon of the conjugative R-factor R773 encodes an oxyanion pump that catalyzes extrusion of arsenicals from cells of Escherichia coli. The oxyanion translocation ATPase is composed of two polypeptides, the catalytic ArsA protein and the ...

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...
