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 ...

Regulation of TORC2 function and localization by Rab5 GTPases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]

, 2019
The evolutionarily conserved Target of Rapamycin (TOR) complex-2 (TORC2) is an essential regulator of plasma membrane homeostasis in budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).

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.

Rab11a Controls Cell Shape via C9orf72 Protein: Possible Relationships to Frontotemporal Dementia/Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (FTDALS) Type 1

Pathophysiology
Abnormal nucleotide insertions of C9orf72, which forms a complex with Smith–Magenis syndrome chromosomal region candidate gene 8 (SMCR8) protein and WD repeat-containing protein 41 (WDR41) protein, are associated with an autosomal-dominant ...

Rab31 expression levels modulate tumor-relevant characteristics of breast cancer cells

Molecular Cancer, 2012
Background Rab proteins constitute a large family of monomeric GTP-binding proteins that regulate intracellular vesicle transport. Several Rab proteins, including rab31, have been shown to affect cancer progression and are related with prognosis in ...

The late endocytic Rab39a GTPase regulates the interaction between multivesicular bodies and chlamydial inclusions. [PDF]

, 2015
Given their obligate intracellular lifestyle, Chlamydia trachomatis ensure their access to multiple host sources of essential lipids by interfering vesicular transport.

Dynamics of the CD9 interactome during bacterial infection of epithelial cells by proximity labelling proteomics

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We describe the CD9 interactome in epithelial cells for the first time. The interactome is diverse and dynamic and changes dependent on infection with specific bacteria. We validate these data by showing functional interaction between CD9 with CD44 or CD147. We therefore demonstrate that CD9 is a universal organiser of bacterial adhesion platforms able

Multiple GTP-binding proteins regulate vesicular transport from the ER to Golgi membranes

Journal of Cell Biology, 1992
Using indirect immunofluorescence we have examined the effects of reagents which inhibit the function of ras-related rab small GTP- binding proteins and heterotrimeric G alpha beta gamma proteins in ER to Golgi transport. Export from the ER was inhibited
