New Angle of View on the Role of Rho/Rho Kinase Pathway in Human Diseases
Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2014 Rho-kinase is an effector molecule of RhoA, a monomeric GTP-binding protein, and causes Ca2+ sensitization through inactivation of myosin phosphatase.

Assignments of backbone 1H, 13C and 15N resonances in H-Ras (1–166) complexed with GppNHp at physiological pH [PDF]
, 2012 The small GTPase Ras is an important signaling molecule acting as a molecular switch in eukaryotic cells. Recent findings of global conformational exchange and a putative allosteric binding site in the G domain of Ras opened an avenue to understanding ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.The INF2 WH2/DAD domain, composed of hydrophobic and basic regions, forms a single α‐helix in solution. The hydrophobic segment is essential for INF2 function, as its deletion disrupts actin dynamics and causes nuclear abnormalities, like those seen in pathogenic INF2 DID variants. In contrast, natural INF2 WH2/DAD variants found in patients with renal

A model of membrane contraction predicting initiation and completion of bacterial cell division [PDF]
, 2013 Bacterial cell division involves a complex and dynamic sequence of events whereby polymers of the protein FtsZ assemble at the division plane and rearrange to achieve the goal of contracting the cell membrane at the site of cell division, thus dividing ...

Structural analysis of a trimeric assembly of the mitochondrial dynamin-like GTPase Mgm1. [PDF]
, 2020 The fusion of inner mitochondrial membranes requires dynamin-like GTPases, Mgm1 in yeast and OPA1 in mammals, but how they mediate membrane fusion is poorly understood.

Stochastic kinetics of ribosomes: single motor properties and collective behavior [PDF]
, 2009 Synthesis of protein molecules in a cell are carried out by ribosomes. A ribosome can be regarded as a molecular motor which utilizes the input chemical energy to move on a messenger RNA (mRNA) track that also serves as a template for the polymerization ...

Melanoma: Pathogenesis and Targeted Therapy
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.The treatment landscape for advanced melanoma has evolved significantly. BRAF–MEK inhibitor combinations are standard for BRAF‐mutant melanoma, whereas targeting NRAS mutations is more challenging, with MEK inhibitors like tunlametinib emerging as an option.

Disease causing mutations in inverted formin 2 regulate its binding to G-actin, F-actin capping protein (CapZ α-1) and profilin 2 [PDF]
, 2016 Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a devastating form of nephrotic syndrome which ultimately leads to end stage renal failure (ESRF). Mutations in inverted formin 2 (INF2), a member of the formin family of actin-regulating proteins, have ...
