Effect of Surface-Immobilized States of Antimicrobial Peptides on Their Ability to Disrupt Bacterial Cell Membrane Structure [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Functional Biomaterials
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP) surfaces are widely used to inhibit biofilm formation and bacterial infection. However, endpoint-immobilized AMPs on surfaces are totally different from free-state AMPs due to the constraints of the surface.

Coupling of melanocyte signaling and mechanics by caveolae is required for human skin pigmentation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Caveolae are plasma membrane invaginations playing crucial functions, like signal transduction and mechanoprotection. Here, the authors show that caveolae contribute to skin pigmentation by integrating the biochemical and mechanical response of epidermal

Cryo-EM structure of human glucose transporter GLUT4

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Small solute carriers remain difficult to study by single particle cryo-EM. Here, the authors report the cryo-EM structure of human insulin-responsive glucose transporter GLUT4 (55 kDa) without rigid soluble domains or binders.

A role for Dynlt3 in melanosome movement, distribution, acidity and transfer

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2021
Aktary et al. identify novel roles for the dynein light chain Dynlt3 in melanosome transport, maturation, and transfer to keratinocytes. They also find that the Wnt/βcatenin signalling pathway controls Dynlt3 levels and thus also contributes to the ...
