HUNK Phosphorylates Rubicon to Support Autophagy [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Autophagy is a catabolic cellular recycling pathway that is essential for maintaining intracellular homeostasis. Autophagosome formation is achieved via the coordination of the Beclin-1 protein complex.

Molecular Aspects of Secretory Granule Exocytosis by Neurons and Endocrine Cells [PDF]

, 1994
Neuronal communication and endocrine signaling are fundamental for integrating the function of tissues and cells in the body. Hormones released by endocrine cells are transported to the target cells through the circulation.

Rab7a and Mitophagosome Formation

Cells, 2019
The small GTPase, Rab7a, and the regulators of its GDP/GTP-binding status were shown to have roles in both endocytic membrane traffic and autophagy. Classically known to regulate endosomal retrograde transport and late endosome-lysosome fusion, earlier ...

Rab29 activation of the Parkinson's disease-associated LRRK2 kinase [PDF]

, 2017
Parkinson's disease predisposing LRRK2 kinase phosphorylates a group of Rab GTPase proteins including Rab29, within the effector‐binding switch II motif. Previous work indicated that Rab29, located within the PARK16 locus mutated in Parkinson's patients,

The chloroplast import receptor Toc34 functions as preprotein-regulated GTPase [PDF]

, 2002
Toc34 is a protein of the chloroplast outer envelope membrane that acts as receptor for preproteins containing a transit sequence. The recognition of preproteins by Toc34 is regulated by GTP binding and phosphorylation.

LRRK2 as a Potential Disease‐Modifying Target in Sporadic Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract A growing understanding of the role that leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) plays in Parkinson's disease (PD) supports continued focus on this enzyme as a therapeutic target for PD. Accumulating evidence suggests that there are phenotypic, neuropathologic, and biological similarities between sporadic PD (sPD) and familial forms in which ...

Sbf/MTMR13 coordinates PI(3)P and Rab21 regulation in endocytic control of cellular remodeling. [PDF]

, 2012
Cells rely on the coordinated regulation of lipid phosphoinositides and Rab GTPases to define membrane compartment fates along distinct trafficking routes.

Mitochondrial dynamics in autoimmune diseases

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Roles of mitochondrial dynamic imbalance in autoimmune diseases. The imbalance of mitochondrial fusion and fission is involved in the occurrence and development of autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, type 1 diabetes, psoriasis, and autoimmune ...

From Membrane Composition to Antimicrobial Strategies: Experimental and Computational Approaches to AMP Design and Selectivity

Small, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.
