The myosin X motor is optimized for movement on actin bundles

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Myosin X is a molecular motor unique in its ability to generate filopodia, but the mechanism explaining this behaviour is not known. Here, through a combination of structure, single-molecule assays and modelling the authors show that myosin X is ...

Automatic diagnosis of extraocular muscle palsy based on machine learning and diplopia images [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Ophthalmology
AIM: To develop different machine learning models to train and test diplopia images and data generated by the computerized diplopia test. METHODS: Diplopia images and data generated by computerized diplopia tests, along with patient medical records, were

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Exposure to outdoor artificial light at night is associated with a higher risk of ulcerative colitis: a prospective cohort study from the UK Biobank

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health
BackgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract, and environmental factors are believed to play an important role in its pathogenesis.

The pyruvate generator is a common phenomenon in mitochondria from different rat and mouse brain regions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The pyruvate generator, which causes activation of respiration by extra‐mitochondrial Ca2+, is also present and functional in rat brainstem mitochondria, as it is in other brain regions. This finding is confirmed by experiments with a fully reconstituted malate–aspartate shuttle (MAS).

Esophageal High Pressure Zones: Effect of Perisophageal Structures on Esophageal Manometric Recording

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1994
During the course of esophageal motility studies, short zones of elevated esophageal baseline pressure are occasionally noticed. The aim of this study is to determine their frequency and their cause. Among 77 consecutive esophageal manometries (group 1),

Cell Motility [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 1986
Approximately 20 years have passed since the first isolation of tubulin, dynein and non-muscle actomyosin. During this period actomyosin, microtubule-dynein or microtubules plus other ATPases (kinesin) have been implicated in almost all cellular motile phenomena.

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified

Differences in the progression of liver disease in male and female rats induced by TAA: considerations in the development of pharmacological therapies

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology
Introduction and Objectives: Thioacetamide (TAA) is a hepatotoxic agent that causes fibrosis, cirrhosis, and cancer. Various doses and regimens of TAA have been tested in different murine models to validate hepatoprotective compounds.
