Variants in genes encoding small GTPases and association with epithelial ovarian cancer susceptibility.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the fifth leading cause of cancer mortality in American women. Normal ovarian physiology is intricately connected to small GTP binding proteins of the Ras superfamily (Ras, Rho, Rab, Arf, and Ran) which govern processes

Pathophysiology of acute experimental pancreatitis: Lessons from genetically engineered animal models and new molecular approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The incidence of acute pancreatitis is growing and worldwide population-based studies report a doubling or tripling since the 1970s. 25% of acute pancreatitis are severe and associated with histological changes of necrotizing pancreatitis. There is still

Expression of Rab small GTPases in epithelial Caco-2 cells: Rab21 is an apically located GTP-binding protein in polarised intestinal epithelial cells

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Cell Biology, 2000
Rab proteins belong to a subfamily of small GTP-binding protein genes of the Ras superfamily and play an important role in intracellular vesicular targeting. The presence of members of this protein family was examined in Caco-2 cells by a PCR-based strategy.

Purification of TrkA intracellular domain and the characterization of novel intracellular proteins : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Molecular Biology at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Nerve growth factor (NGF) binds to its receptor, TrkA, at the tips of nerve cell axons to inhibit apoptosis, causing survival and differentiation.

Cellular localization, accumulation and trafficking of double-walled carbon nanotubes in human prostate cancer cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are at present being considered as potential nanovectors with the ability to deliver therapeutic cargoes into living cells. Previous studies established the ability of CNTs to enter cells and their therapeutic utility, but an ...

Rabphilin-3A, a putative target protein for smg p25A/rab3A p25 small GTP-binding protein related to synaptotagmin.

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Biology, 1993
In a previous study (H. Shirataki, K. Kaibuchi, T. Yamaguchi, K. Wada, H. Horiuchi, and Y. Takai, J. Biol. Chem. 267:10946-10949, 1992), we highly purified from bovine brain crude membranes the putative target protein for smg p25A/rab3A p25, a ras p21-related small GTP-binding protein implicated in neurotransmitter release.

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

open access: yesMovement Disorders, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 297-314, February 2026.
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 ...

Microtubule-dependent ribosome localization in C. elegans neurons. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Subcellular localization of ribosomes defines the location and capacity for protein synthesis. Methods for in vivo visualizing ribosomes in multicellular organisms are desirable in mechanistic investigations of the cell biology of ribosome dynamics. Here,

Characterization of lysosomal membrane proteins of Dictyostelium discoideum. A complex population of acidic integral membrane glycoproteins, Rab GTP-binding proteins and vacuolar ATPase subunits.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1994
Highly purified lysosomes, prepared by magnetic fractionation of homogenates from Dictyostelium discoideum cells fed colloidal iron, were lysed under hypoosmotic conditions, and the membrane-associated proteins were subjected to gel electrophoresis. Thirteen major membrane polypeptides, ranging in molecular weight from 25,000 to 100,000 were identified.
