Special Issue “Recent Developments in Annexin Biology”
Cells, 2020 Discovered over 40 years ago, the annexin proteins were found to be a structurally conserved subgroup of Ca2+-binding proteins. While the initial research on annexins focused on their signature feature of Ca2+-dependent binding to membranes, over the ...

Dynamics of cell membrane lesions and adaptive conductance under the electrical stress
Cell StressExceeding physiological limits of the cell membrane potential compromises structural integrity, enabling the passage of normally impermeant solutes and disrupting cell function.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Dysferlin in Membrane Trafficking and Patch Repair [PDF]
Traffic, 2007 The muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders, defined by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy. Following the discovery of dystrophin, remarkable progress has been made in defining the molecular properties of proteins involved in the various dystrophies.

Studies on muscular dystrophy associated genes [PDF]
, 2007 Muscular dystrophy is a collective group of genetic disorder that results in progressive wasting of skeletal muscle. Dysferlin, the gene responsible for Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi Myopathy (MM) was found to be a member of

The yeast acyltransferase Sct1p regulates fatty acid desaturation by competing with the desaturase Ole1p. [PDF]
, 2012 The degree of fatty acid unsaturation, that is, the ratio of unsaturated versus saturated fatty acyl chains, determines membrane fluidity. Regulation of expression of the fatty acid desaturase Ole1p was hitherto the only known mechanism governing the ...

More Than a Pore: The Cellular Response to Cholesterol-Dependent Cytolysins
Toxins, 2013 Targeted disruption of the plasma membrane is a ubiquitous form of attack used in all three domains of life. Many bacteria secrete pore-forming proteins during infection with broad implications for pathogenesis. The cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDC)

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
