Membrane Trafficking During Plant Cytokinesis [PDF]

open access: yesTraffic, 2002
Plant morphogenesis is regulated by cell division and expansion. Cytokinesis, the final stage of cell division, culminates in the construction of the cell plate, a unique cytokinetic membranous organelle that is assembled across the inside of the dividing cell.

Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles for Lysosome Isolation to Identify Spatial Alterations in Lysosomal Protein and Lipid Composition

open access: yesSTAR Protocols, 2020
Summary: Lysosomes are dynamic organelles that serve as regulatory hubs in cellular homeostasis. Changes in lysosome morphology, composition, and turnover are typically linked to disease.

An intrinsically disordered linker controlling the formation and the stability of the bacterial flagellar hook

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2017
Background In a macro-molecular complex, any minor change may prove detrimental. For a supra-molecular nano-machine like the bacterial flagellum, which consists of several distinct parts with specific characteristics, stability is important.

Targeting Membrane Trafficking as a Strategy for Cancer Treatment

open access: yesVaccines, 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 ...

Super-resolution microscopy reveals majorly mono- and dimeric presenilin1/γ-secretase at the cell surface

open access: yeseLife, 2020
γ-Secretase is a multi-subunit enzyme whose aberrant activity is associated with Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. While its structure is atomically resolved, γ-secretase localization in the membrane in situ relies mostly on biochemical data.

Complete structure of the bacterial flagellar hook reveals extensive set of stabilizing interactions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
The bacterial flagellar hook is made up of many copies of the protein FlgE. Here, the authors report the full structure of the hook from Campylobacter jejuni and show that its overall structure is different from that of the previously published filament.

Biochemical and structural insights into Rab12 interactions with RILP and its family members

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Alongside its biosynthetic functions, the small GTPase Rab12 negatively regulates mast cell (MC) exocytosis by its interaction with RILP to promote retrograde transport of the MC secretory granules.

Recent advances in understanding the molecular basis of melanogenesis in melanocytes [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2020
Melanin pigments are responsible for human skin and hair color, and they protect the body from harmful ultraviolet light. The black and brown melanin pigments are synthesized in specialized lysosome-related organelles called melanosomes in melanocytes ...

The Exocyst Is Required for CD36 Fatty Acid Translocase Trafficking and Free Fatty Acid Uptake in Skeletal Muscle Cells

open access: yesCells, 2022
In obesity, chronic membrane-localization of CD36 free fatty acid (FFA) translocase, but not other FFA transporters, enhances FFA uptake and intracellular lipid accumulation.

Membrane Trafficking in Plant Immunity [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Plant, 2017
Plants employ sophisticated mechanisms to interact with pathogenic as well as beneficial microbes. Of those, membrane trafficking is key in establishing a rapid and precise response. Upon interaction with pathogenic microbes, surface-localized immune receptors undergo endocytosis for signal transduction and activity regulation while cell wall ...
