GFP-Tagged Protein Detection by Electron Microscopy Using a GBP-APEX Tool in Drosophila
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 In cell biology, detection of protein subcellular localizations is often achieved by optical microscopy techniques and more rarely by electron microscopy (EM) despite the greater resolution offered by EM.

npj Regenerative Medicine, 2022 TJP2/ZO-2-inactivating mutations in humans cause progressive cholestatic liver disease. Liver-specific deletion of Tjp2 in the mouse (Tjp2 cKO mice) leads to mild progressive cholestasis without an overt degradation of the bile-blood barrier (BBB). These

Quantification of Nematic Cell Polarity in Three-dimensional Tissues [PDF]
, 2020 How epithelial cells coordinate their polarity to form functional tissues is an open question in cell biology. Here, we characterize a unique type of polarity found in liver tissue, nematic cell polarity, which is different from vectorial cell polarity ...

BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2020 Background Transmembrane and immunoglobulin domain-containing protein 1 (TMIGD1) is a recently identified cell adhesion molecule which is predominantly expressed by epithelial cells of the intestine and the kidney. Its expression is downregulated in both

Intermediate Filaments from Tissue Integrity to Single Molecule Mechanics
Cells, 2021 Cytoplasmic intermediate filaments (IFs), which together with actin and microtubules form the cytoskeleton, are composed of a large and diverse family of proteins.

PTEN inhibits AMPK to control collective migration
Nature Communications, 2022 Pten is a tumour suppressor gene that is associated with highly invasive cancers such as glioblastoma. Here the authors show that PTEN loss results in increased migratory behaviour, which can be countered by targeting AMPK activity.

Cell Adhesion at the Tight Junctions: New Aspects and New Functions
Cells, 2023 Tight junctions (TJ) are cell–cell adhesive structures that define the permeability of barrier-forming epithelia and endothelia. In contrast to this seemingly static function, TJs display a surprisingly high molecular complexity and unexpected dynamic ...

Loss of contact inhibition of locomotion in the absence of JAM-A promotes entotic cell engulfment
iScience, 2022 Summary: Entosis is a cell competition process during which tumor cells engulf other tumor cells. It is initiated by metabolic stress or by loss of matrix adhesion, and it provides the winning cell with resources derived from the internalized cell. Using

Membrane recruitment of the polarity protein Scribble by the cell adhesion receptor TMIGD1
Communications Biology, 2023 Scribble (Scrib) is a multidomain polarity protein and member of the leucine-rich repeat and PDZ domain (LAP) protein family. A loss of Scrib expression is associated with disturbed apical-basal polarity and tumor formation.

Spectrin binding motifs regulate Scribble cortical dynamics and polarity function
eLife, 2015 The tumor suppressor protein Scribble (SCRIB) plays an evolutionary conserved role in cell polarity. Despite being central for its function, the molecular basis of SCRIB recruitment and stabilization at the cell cortex is poorly understood.
