Exo70-Mediated Recruitment of Nucleoporin Nup62 at the Leading Edge of Migrating Cells is Required for Cell Migration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Nucleoporin Nup62 localizes at the central channel of the nuclear pore complex and is essential for nucleocytoplasmic transport. Through its FG-repeat domain, Nup62 regulates nuclear pore permeability and binds nuclear transport receptors.

The SNARE complex formed by RIC-4/SEC-22/SYX-2 promotes C. elegans epidermal wound healing

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Summary: Maintaining cellular viability relies on the integrity of the plasma membrane, which must be repaired upon damage. Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE)-mediated membrane fusion is a crucial mechanism ...

HID-1 controls formation of large dense core vesicles by influencing cargo sorting and trans-Golgi network acidification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Large dense core vesicles (LDCVs) mediate the regulated release of neuropeptides and peptide hormones. They form at the trans-Golgi network (TGN), where their soluble content aggregates to form a dense core, but the mechanisms controlling biogenesis are ...

Defective membrane repair machinery impairs survival of invasive cancer cells

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Cancer cells are able to reach distant tissues by migration and invasion processes. Enhanced ability to cope with physical stresses leading to cell membrane damages may offer to cancer cells high survival rate during metastasis.

Membrane repair against H. pylori promotes cancer cell proliferation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Membrane repair is a universal response against physical and biological insults and enables cell survival. Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common human pathogens and the first formally recognized bacterial carcinogen associated with gastric cancer.

Repair of injured plasma membrane by rapid Ca2+-dependent endocytosis [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2008
Ca2+ influx through plasma membrane lesions triggers a rapid repair process that was previously shown to require the exocytosis of lysosomal organelles (Reddy, A., E. Caler, and N. Andrews. 2001. Cell. 106:157–169). However, how exocytosis leads to membrane resealing has remained obscure, particularly for stable lesions caused by pore-forming proteins.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
