Posttranslational modifications of GLUT4 affect its subcellular localization and translocation [PDF]
The facilitative glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) is expressed in adipose and muscle and plays a vital role in whole body glucose homeostasis. In the absence of insulin, only ~1% of cellular GLUT4 is present at the plasma membrane, with the vast ...

Novel biochemistry: post-translational protein splicing and other lessons from the school of antigen processing [PDF]
In the past 15 years, the molecular identification of antigens that can mediate the killing of tumor cells by T cells has been vigorously pursued. Molecular identification of tumor-associated antigens not only provided the means to activate or monitor anti-tumor immunity, but also gave insights into new and unexpected biochemical processes that are ...

How can platelet proteomics best be used to interrogate disease?
Various modifications of proteins and the resulting proteoforms of a protein can associate with many diseases and are also significantly involved in the rapid regulation of hemostasis and thrombosis.

Glycosylation and S-palmitoylation regulate SARS-CoV-2 spike protein intracellular trafficking
Summary: Post-translational modifications (PTMs), such as glycosylation and palmitoylation, are critical to protein folding, stability, intracellular trafficking, and function.

Molecular medicine of microRNAs: structure, function and implications for diabetes [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of endogenous small noncoding RNA molecules, of 19–28 nucleotides in length. In humans, up to 3% of all genes are estimated to encode these evolutionarily conserved sequences.

STAT3 as a mediator of oncogenic cellular metabolism: Pathogenic and therapeutic implications
The oncogenic transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is activated constitutively in a wide array of human cancers. It is an appealing molecular target for novel therapy as it directly regulates expression of genes

Mass spectrometry quantification of clusterin in the human brain
Background The multifunctional glycoprotein clusterin has been associated with late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Further investigation to define the role of clusterin in AD phenotypes would be aided by the development of techniques to quantify level ...

The role of the Amyloid Precursor Protein mutations and PERK-dependent signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a highly complex, progressive, age-related neurodegenerative human disease entity. The genetic basis of AD is strictly connected with occurrence of mutations in Amyloid Precursor (APP) gene on chromosome 21.
