Diversity of opisthokont septin proteins reveals structural constraints and conserved motifs

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Septins are cytoskeletal proteins important in cell division and in establishing and maintaining cell polarity. Although septins are found in various eukaryotes, septin genes had the richest history of duplication and diversification in the ...

Agrin-induced acetylcholine receptor clustering in mammalian muscle requires tyrosine phosphorylation. [PDF]

, 1996
Agrin is thought to be the nerve-derived factor that initiates acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering at the developing neuromuscularjunction. We have investigated the signaling pathway in mouse C2 myotubes and report that agrin induces a rapid but ...

Mitochondrial ribosome assembly in Neurospora. Structural analysis of mature and partially assembled ribosomal subunits by equilibrium centrifugation in CsCl gradients [PDF]

, 1982
In Neurospora, one protein associated with the mitochondrial small ribosomal subunit (S-5, Mr 52,000) is synthesized intramitochondrially and is assumed to be encoded by mtDNA.

Determination of ADP/ATP translocase isoform ratios in malignancy and cellular senescence

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The individual functions of three isoforms exchanging ADP and ATP (ADP/ATP translocases; ANTs) on the mitochondrial membrane remain unclear. We developed a method for quantitatively differentiating highly similar human ANT1, ANT2, and ANT3 using parallel reaction monitoring. This method allowed us to assess changes in translocase levels during cellular

TRPM8 levels determine tumor vulnerability to channel agonists

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TRPM8 is a Ca2+ permissive channel. Regardless of the amount of its transcript, high levels of TRPM8 protein mark different tumors, including prostate, breast, colorectal, and lung carcinomas. Targeting TRPM8 with channel agonists stimulates inward calcium currents followed by emptying of cytosolic Ca2+ stores in cancer cells.

The respiratory syncytial virus nucleoprotein–RNA complex forms a left-handed helical nucleocapsid [PDF]

, 2013
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is an important human pathogen. Its nucleocapsid (NC), which comprises the negative sense RNA viral genome coated by the viral nucleoprotein N, is a critical assembly that serves as template for both mRNA synthesis and ...

Receptor- and Nucleotide Exchange-independent Mechanisms for Promoting G Protein Subunit Dissociation*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003
Mechanisms for heterotrimeric G protein activation that do not rely on G protein coupled receptor activation are becoming increasingly apparent. We recently identified βγ subunit-binding peptides that we proposed bound to a “hot spot” on βγ subunits ...

Genomics‐led approach to drug testing in models of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
GA text Genomic data from undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma patients and preclinical models were used to inform a targeted drug screen. Selected compounds were tested in 2D and 3D cultures of UPS cell lines. A combination of trametinib and infigratinib was synergistic in the majority of UPS cell lines tested, which was further confirmed in an ex ...

Protein-Level Evidence of Novel β-Type Hemocyanin and Heterogeneous Subunit Usage in the Pacific Whiteleg Shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
The functional diversity of crustacean hemocyanins is broad, encompassing O2 delivery, innate immune response, metabolite storage, and osmolyte balance, all in a heterogeneous protein structure.
