2DE- based proteomics for the analysis of metastasis associated proteins [PDF]
Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) is a high-resolution technique for analysis and comparison of complex protein mixtures. With the advent of recent technical developments, its application has become significant in a wide range of fields.

Lysosome associated membrane proteins maintain pancreatic acinar cell homeostasis: LAMP-2 deficient mice develop pancreatitis [PDF]
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The pathogenic mechanism of pancreatitis is poorly understood. Recent evidence implicates defective autophagy in pancreatitis responses; however, the pathways mediating impaired autophagy in pancreas remain largely unknown.

Studies on interactions of exported "plasmodium falciparum" membrane proteins [PDF]
Responsible for about 700’000 annual deaths worldwide, malaria today is still one of the major health problems in developing countries. The most deadly form of human malaria called malaria tropica is caused by the apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium ...

Crenarchaeal chromatin proteins Cren7 and Sul7 compact DNA by inducing rigid bends [PDF]
Archaeal chromatin proteins share molecular and functional similarities with both bacterial and eukaryotic chromatin proteins. These proteins play an important role in functionally organizing the genomic DNA into a compact nucleoid.

Identification of a novel zinc metalloprotease through a global analysis of clostridium difficile extracellular proteins [PDF]
Clostridium difficile is a major cause of infectious diarrhea worldwide. Although the cell surface proteins are recognized to be important in clostridial pathogenesis, biological functions of only a few are known.

Ubiquitin-specific protease USP25 functions in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation [PDF]
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) discards abnormal proteins synthesized in the ER. Through coordinated actions of ERAD components, misfolded/anomalous proteins are recognized, ubiquitinated, extracted from the ER and ultimately ...

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

C9orf72 repeat expansions cause neurodegeneration in Drosophila through arginine-rich proteins [PDF]
An expanded GGGGCC repeat in C9orf72 is the most common genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A fundamental question is whether toxicity is driven by the repeat RNA itself and/or by dipeptide repeat proteins ...
