Posttranslational modifications of GLUT4 affect its subcellular localization and translocation [PDF]
The facilitative glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) is expressed in adipose and muscle and plays a vital role in whole body glucose homeostasis. In the absence of insulin, only ~1% of cellular GLUT4 is present at the plasma membrane, with the vast ...

NLRP3 Cys126 palmitoylation by ZDHHC7 promotes inflammasome activation
NACHT-, leucine-rich-repeat- (LRR), and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) mediates inflammasome activation in response to multiple pathogen and damage-associated molecular patterns in macrophages. Hyperactivation of NLRP3 inflammasome contributes

Palmitic acid (PA) is the most common fatty acid in humans and mediates palmitoylation through its conversion into palmitoyl coenzyme A. Although palmitoylation affects many proteins, its pathophysiological functions are only partially understood.

Membrane-associated proteins in giardia lamblia [PDF]
The manner in which membrane-associated proteins interact with the membrane defines their subcellular fate and function. This interaction relies on the characteristics of the proteins, their journey after synthesis, and their interaction with other ...

Quantifying protein densities on cell membranes using super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging [PDF]
Surface molecules, distributed in diverse patterns and clusters on cell membranes, influence vital functions of living cells. It is therefore important to understand their molecular surface organisation under different physiological and pathological ...

Novel components of the Toxoplasma inner membrane complex revealed by BioID. [PDF]
UNLABELLED:The inner membrane complex (IMC) of Toxoplasma gondii is a peripheral membrane system that is composed of flattened alveolar sacs that underlie the plasma membrane, coupled to a supporting cytoskeletal network. The IMC plays important roles in

ER-Mitochondria contact sites : a new regulator of cellular calcium flux comes into play [PDF]
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria membrane contacts are hotspots for calcium signaling. In this issue, Raturi et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201512077) show that the thioredoxin TMX1 inhibits the calcium pump SERCA2b at ...

Determinants of the voltage dependence of G protein modulation within calcium channel β subunits [PDF]
CaVβ subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels contain two conserved domains, a src-homology-3 (SH3) domain and a guanylate kinase-like (GK) domain with an intervening HOOK domain. We have shown in a previous study that, although Gβγ-mediated inhibitory

DHHC9-mediated GLUT1 S-palmitoylation promotes glioblastoma glycolysis and tumorigenesis
Glucose transporter GLUT1 is a transmembrane protein responsible for the uptake of glucose into the cells of many tissues through facilitative diffusion. Plasma membrane (PM) localization is essential for glucose uptake by GLUT1.
