Plant Peroxisomes: Biogenesis and Function [PDF]
Peroxisomes are eukaryotic organelles that are highly dynamic both in morphology and metabolism. Plant peroxisomes are involved in numerous processes, including primary and secondary metabolism, development, and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses ...

Mining Alzheimer's Interactomes, Macromolecular Complexes and Pathways for Drug Discovery
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to dementia. Many cases are diagnosed annually and there is no currently available cure. Understanding the underlying disease biology of AD through the study of molecular networks, particularly by mapping clinical variants to tissue‐specific interactomes and ...

A family of membrane-shaping proteins at ER subdomains regulates pre-peroxisomal vesicle biogenesis [PDF]
Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains three conserved reticulon and reticulon-like proteins that help maintain ER structure by stabilizing high membrane curvature in ER tubules and the edges of ER sheets.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

USP30: protector of peroxisomes and mitochondria
In our recent publication, we describe a mechanism by which peroxisomes are protected from degradation by autophagy under basal conditions. Taking a page from mitophagy, peroxisomes also recruit the mitochondria deubiquitinating enzyme USP30 to counter ...

Inhibition of autophagy as a novel treatment for neurofibromatosis type 1 tumors
We used synthetic lethal screens to find new approaches to treat neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) tumors. Inhibition of autophagy was identified as a robust method to selectively kill NF1‐deficient cells with minimal effects on healthy cells. Following assessment of a range of autophagy inhibitors, we determined that chloroquine has strong potential for ...

ABSTRACT We previously developed a genome engineering method (TAQing2.0) based on the direct delivery of DNA endonucleases into living cells, which induces genome rearrangements even in non‐sporulating nonconventional yeasts without introducing foreign DNA.

An update on autophagy disorders
Abstract Macroautophagy is a highly conserved cellular pathway for the degradation and recycling of defective cargo including proteins, organelles, and macromolecular complexes. As autophagy is particularly relevant for cellular homeostasis in post‐mitotic tissues, congenital disorders of autophagy, due to monogenic defects in key autophagy genes ...
