Membrane Trafficking Mechanisms and Their Biological Relevance [PDF]
Archives of Razi Institute, 2023 Most chemicals expressed in mammalian cells have complex delivery and transport mechanisms to get to the right intracellular sites. One of these mechanisms transports most transmembrane proteins, as well as almost all secreted proteins, from the ...

Targeting Membrane Trafficking as a Strategy for Cancer Treatment
Vaccines, 2022 Membrane trafficking is emerging as an attractive therapeutic strategy for cancer. Recent reports have found a connection between Wnt signaling, receptor-mediated endocytosis, V-ATPase, lysosomal activity, and macropinocytosis through the canonical Wnt ...

Phospholipase D3 degrades mitochondrial DNA to regulate nucleotide signaling and APP metabolism
Nature Communications, 2023 Phospholipase D3 (PLD3) polymorphisms are linked to late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD). Being a lysosomal 5’-3’ exonuclease, its neuronal substrates remained unknown as well as how a defective lysosomal nucleotide catabolism connects to AD ...

VAMP5 and distinct sets of cognate Q-SNAREs mediate exosome release
Cell Structure and Function, 2023 Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are largely classified into two types, plasma-membrane derived sEVs and endomembrane-derived sEVs. The latter type (referred to as exosomes herein) is originated from late endosomes or multivesicular bodies (MVBs).

Structure of the bacterial flagellar hook cap provides insights into a hook assembly mechanism
Communications Biology, 2021 Matsunami et al determine the structure of the flagellar hook cap from Salmonella enterica by X-ray crystallography. The 3.3 Å resolution structure in combination with mutagenesis analysis provides insights into a putative hook assembly mechanism.

The endocytic pathway taken by cationic substances requires Rab14 but not Rab5 and Rab7
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Endocytosis and endosome dynamics are controlled by proteins of the small GTPase Rab family. Besides possible recycling routes to the plasma membrane and various organelles, previously described endocytic pathways (e.g., clathrin-mediated ...

Multiple Domains in the Kv7.3 C-Terminus Can Regulate Localization to the Axon Initial Segment
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020 The voltage-gated Kv7.2/Kv7.3 potassium channel is a critical regulator of neuronal excitability. It is strategically positioned at the axon initial segment (AIS) of neurons, where it effectively inhibits repetitive action potential firing.
