Eeyarestatin 1 interferes with both retrograde and anterograde intracellular trafficking pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: The small molecule Eeyarestatin I (ESI) inhibits the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-cytosol dislocation and subsequent degradation of ERAD (ER associated protein degradation) substrates.

Functional coupling of microtubules to membranes - implications for membrane structure and dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The microtubule network dictates much of the spatial patterning of the cytoplasm, and the coupling of microtubules to membranes controls the structure and positioning of organelles and directs membrane trafficking between them.

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.

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.

The road not taken: Less traveled roads from the TGN to the plasma membrane [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
: The trans-Golgi network functions in the distribution of cargo into different transport vesicles that are destined to endosomes, lysosomes and the plasma membrane. Over the years, it has become clear that more than one transport pathway promotes plasma

Studies on interactions of exported "plasmodium falciparum" membrane proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Responsible for about 700’000 annual deaths worldwide, malaria today is still one of the major health problems in developing countries. The most deadly form of human malaria called malaria tropica is caused by the apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium ...

A new role for clathrin adaptor proteins 1 and 3 in lipoplex trafficking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Intracellular protein trafficking through secretory and endocytic pathways depends on the function of adaptor proteins that bind motifs on cargo proteins.

Membrane Trafficking Inspired Hydrolysis of Non-Activated Esters at Physiological pH [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Natural enzymes establish the proximity of the substrates to perform challenging reactions in aqueous medium, whereas most chemical catalysts typically follow stochastic way and are less efficient.

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 ...

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.
