Rab5 Affinity Chromatography without Nonhydrolyzable GTP Analogues
Rab5 is an important small GTPase involved in endocytosis and membrane trafficking. Rab5-binding proteins can be identified using Rab5 affinity chromatography with nonhydrolyzable GTP analogues such as GTPγS or GppNHp. However, this method requires significant quantities of the GTP analogue and is thus time-consuming and expensive.

Stochastic Model of Virus–Endosome Fusion and Endosomal Escape of pH-Responsive Nanoparticles
In this paper, we set up a stochastic model for the dynamics of active Rab5 and Rab7 proteins on the surface of endosomes and the acidification process that govern the virus–endosome fusion and endosomal escape of pH-responsive nanoparticles. We employ a

Ectodomain shedding of the amyloid precursor protein: Cellular control mechanisms and novel modifiers [PDF]
Proteolytic cleavage in the ectodomain of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a key regulatory step in the generation of the Alzheimer's disease amyloid-beta (A beta) pepticle and occurs through two different protease activities termed alpha- and beta-

A novel function of Rab5 in mitosis [PDF]
Several membrane trafficking proteins have been shown to participate in spindle assembly and stability during mitosis. Despite the fact that the role of some of them has been clarified, the requirement for these molecules in mitosis is still poorly understood.

Monoubiquitination of syntaxin 3 leads to retrieval from the basolateral plasma membrane and facilitates cargo recruitment to exosomes [PDF]

Rab5 and Rac Team Up in Cell Motility [PDF]
Cell motility requires actin assembly mediated by Rac, a Rho family GTPase. In this issue, Palamidessi et al. (2008) show that Rab5-directed trafficking of Rac to the cell membrane is required for Rac-mediated actin assembly. Trafficking of Rac may influence the mode of cell migration during morphogenesis and cancer metastasis.

A Nanoparticle‐Integrated Complete Manufacturing Pipeline of Chemically Engineered Exosomes
We report a novel manufacture technology of chemically engineered exosomes. The four steps of manufacturing, i.e., biogenesis, loading, isolation, and storage, are integrated by the use of a nanoparticle. The manufacture technology incorporates three innovative components, i.e., a new nano‐bio effect, a new composite nanoparticle, and a new isolation ...
