SNARE Membrane Trafficking Dynamics In Vivo [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1999 The ER/Golgi soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE) membrin, rsec22b, and rbet1 are enriched in ∼1-μm cytoplasmic structures that lie very close to the ER. These appear to be ER exit sites since secretory cargo concentrates in and exits from these structures.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Identification of Rab30 as a novel regulator of tubular endosomes
Cell Structure and FunctionTubular-shaped recycling endosomes, known as tubular endosomes, are present in certain types of cells, including HeLa cells, and they regulate the recycling of clathrin-independent endocytosed (CIE) cargo proteins to the plasma membrane.

Regulation of CLC-1 chloride channel biosynthesis by FKBP8 and Hsp90β. [PDF]
, 2016 Mutations in human CLC-1 chloride channel are associated with the skeletal muscle disorder myotonia congenita. The disease-causing mutant A531V manifests enhanced proteasomal degradation of CLC-1.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Therapy-induced senescence in breast cancer: an overview
Exploration of Targeted Anti-tumor TherapyOutcomes for women with breast cancer have improved dramatically in recent decades. However, many patients present with intrinsic drug resistance and others are initially sensitive to anti-cancer drugs but acquire resistance during the course of their ...

The MX-Helix of Muscle nAChR Subunits Regulates Receptor Assembly and Surface Trafficking. [PDF]
, 2020 Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) are pentameric channels that mediate fast transmission at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and defects in receptor expression underlie neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis and congenital myasthenic ...

A new familial form of a late-onset, persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy caused by a novel mutation in KCNJ11. [PDF]
, 2017 The ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) functions as a metabo-electric transducer in regulating insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. The pancreatic KATP channel is composed of a pore-forming inwardly-rectifying potassium channel, Kir6.2, and a ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.
