Actin dynamics controlled by IqgC, a RasGAP at the crossroads between the IQGAP and fungal GAP1 families

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
IqgC is a RasGAP from Dictyostelium discoideum. IqgC binds RasG via its RasGAP domain and deactivates it on macroendocytic cups, thereby suppressing the uptake of fluid and particles. IqgC has a positive effect on cell‐substratum adhesion, and its RGCt domain is required for recruitment to ventral foci.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase IDOL regulates synaptic ApoER2 levels and is important for plasticity and learning. [PDF]

, 2017
Neuronal ApoE receptors are linked to learning and memory, but the pathways governing their abundance, and the mechanisms by which they affect the function of neural circuits are incompletely understood.

Diallyl disulfide inhibits colon cancer metastasis by suppressing Rac1-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition

OncoTargets and Therapy, 2019
Background Prevention of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) provides a novel treatment strategy for tumor metastasis. Our previous studies have shown that diallyl disulfide (DADS) inhibits Ras related C3 botulinum toxin substrate1 (Rac1) expression,

MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL TREATMENT REDUCES THE RISK OF TREATMENT ESCALATION DUE TO VASCULAR COMPLICATIONS IN LIMITED CUTANEOUS SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS: EMULATION OF A TARGET TRIAL FROM ITALIAN RHEUMATOLOGY SOCIETY SPRING REGISTRY

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) is relatively uncommon due to the lower fibrotic burden and the predominance of the vascular complications. In vitro observations and clinical data from transplanted patients suggest a protective effect of MMF on endothelial function.

Arp2/3 complex activity in filopodia of spreading cells [PDF]

, 2008
Background Cells use filopodia to explore their environment and to form new adhesion contacts for motility and spreading. The Arp2/3 complex has been implicated in lamellipodial actin assembly as a major nucleator of new actin filaments in branched ...

Tailored Xenogeneic‐Free Polymer Surface Promotes Dynamic Migration of Intestinal Stem Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a PoLymer‐coated Ultra‐stable Surface (PLUS), a nitrogen plasma‐treated poly(ethyleneglycoldimethacrylate), as a stable xenogeneic‐free platform for intestinal stem cell culture. PLUS enhances cell attachment, supports actin‐driven migration, and retains functionality after 3 years of storage. Promoting cytoskeletal reorganization,

Paxillin facilitates timely neurite initiation on soft-substrate environments by interacting with the endocytic machinery. [PDF]

, 2017
Neurite initiation is the first step in neuronal development and occurs spontaneously in soft tissue environments. Although the mechanisms regulating the morphology of migratory cells on rigid substrates in cell culture are widely known, how soft ...

Akt Protein Kinase Inhibits Rac1-GTP Binding through Phosphorylation at Serine 71 of Rac1 [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
A putative Akt kinase phosphorylation site ((64)ydRIRplSYp(73)) was found in Rac1/CDC42 and Rho family proteins (RhoA, RhoB, RhoC, and RhoG). Phosphorylation of Rac1 by Akt kinase was assayed with recombinant Rac1 protein and the fluorescein-labeled Rac1 peptide.

Identification of PKN2 and MOB4 as Coordinators of Collective Cell Migration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Through a genetic screen, PKN2 and MOB4 are identified as two proteins regulating the healing of an epithelial model wound. PKN2 promotes collective cell migration by maintaining the cohesion of cell monolayers from their lateral junctions, whereas MOB4 restrains collective cell migration and provides a lamellipodial cue for front‐rear polarity in ...

RAC1 P29S regulates PD-L1 expression in melanoma. [PDF]

, 2015
Whole exome sequencing of cutaneous melanoma has led to the detection of P29 mutations in RAC1 in 5-9% of samples, but the role of RAC1 P29 mutations in melanoma biology remains unclear.
