Structural and functional investigation of the cytoplasmic domain of the Fas death receptor [PDF]

, 2015
Activation of the transmembrane death receptor Fas (CD95/APO-1) by a membrane bound ligand (FasL/CD95L) activates the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Intracellular Fas death domains (DDs) are induced to oligomerise enabling binding to the adaptor protein

Palmitoylation of virus proteins [PDF]

Biology of the Cell, 2012
AbstractThe article summarises the results of more than 30 years of research on palmitoylation (S‐acylation) of viral proteins, the post‐translational attachment of fatty acids to cysteine residues of integral and peripheral membrane proteins. Analysing viral proteins is not only important to characterise the cellular pathogens but also instrumental to

Membrane‐Active Peptide Protects Against Inflammation by Targeting NLRP3 Activation at the Trans‐Golgi Network

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The membrane‐active peptide Pep19‐2.5 reduces harmful inflammation by blocking activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome at trans‐Golgi network membranes. By targeting key membrane interactions, Pep19‐2.5 suppresses inflammatory IL‐1β production and alleviates allergic airway inflammation in mice, leading to reduced immune cell infiltration and improved ...

PRDX6: A protein bridging S-palmitoylation and diabetic neuropathy

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Diabetic neuropathy is regarded as one of the most debilitating outcomes of diabetes. It can affect both the peripheral and central nervous systems, leading to pain, decreased motility, cognitive decline, and dementia.

Upadacitinib Restrains the Pathogenic Fitness of CD4+ T Cells and Aberrant B Cell Programming in Optic Neuritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell profiling and functional perturbation reveal coordinated JAK1‐pSTAT3 downstream programs in optic neuritis, including MCL1‐dependent fitness of pathogenic CD4+ Tem cells and glycolysis‐linked, cholesterol‐sensitive B‐cell responses associated with RORA. Upadacitinib disrupts this reciprocal T‐B‐cell circuit and alleviates neuroinflammation,

Characterization Of Dopamine Transporter Palmitoylation [PDF]

, 2015
The dopamine transporter (DAT) is an integral membrane protein that mediates the reuptake of synaptic dopamine and thus regulates the spatio-temporal dynamics of dopaminergic neurotransmission.

Differential palmitoylation of the endosomal SNAREs syntaxin 7 and syntaxin 8*[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Palmitoylation is a posttranslational modification that regulates protein trafficking and stability. In this study we investigated whether the endosomal soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNARE) proteins syntaxin 7 ...

Membrane lipid metabolism as a regulatory frontier in neural crest biology: Roles for sphingolipids, cholesterol, and lipid rafts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are multipotent, migratory stem‐like cells essential for vertebrate development that contribute broadly to many tissues including the craniofacial skeleton, peripheral nervous system, and pigment‐producing cells. Their development progresses through phases of induction, specification, delamination, migration, and ...

Semaglutide normalizes increased cardiomyocyte calcium transients in a rat model of high fat diet‐induced obesity

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1386-1397, April 2025.
Sequeira et al. reveal how the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1‐RA) semaglutide restores cardiomyocyte function in rats subjected to a high‐fat/high‐fructose diet (HFD). Employing fluorescence‐ and patch‐clamp technology in isolated cardiac myocytes, they demonstrate that semaglutide reverses HFD‐induced activation of L‐type calcium ...

Inhibiting S-palmitoylation arrests metastasis by relocating Rap2b from plasma membrane in colorectal cancer

Cell Death and Disease
Rap2b, a proto-oncogene upregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC), undergoes protein S-palmitoylation at specific C-terminus sites (C176/C177). These palmitoylation sites are crucial for Rap2b localization on the plasma membrane (PM), as mutation of C176 or
