From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Autism and mild epilepsy associated with a de novo missense pathogenic variant in the GTPase effector domain of DNM1

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Dynamin 1 is a GTPase protein involved in synaptic vesicle fission, which facilitates the exocytosis of neurotransmitters necessary for normal signaling. Pathogenic variants in the DNM1 gene are associated with intractable epilepsy, often manifested as infantile spasms at onset, developmental delay, and a movement disorder, and are located in ...

Regulator of G-protein signaling 14 (RGS14) is a selective H-Ras effector.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundRegulator of G-protein signaling (RGS) proteins have been well-described as accelerators of Galpha-mediated GTP hydrolysis ("GTPase-accelerating proteins" or GAPs).

Frailty Predicts Incident Osteoporotic Fractures in Veterans with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background/Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk of frailty and osteoporosis, but the relationship between frailty and incident osteoporotic fractures in RA is underexplored. Methods Data were from the Veterans Affairs Rheumatoid Arthritis (VARA) Registry.

Absolute Quantification of Endogenous Ras Isoform Abundance.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Ras proteins are important signalling hubs situated near the top of networks controlling cell proliferation, differentiation and survival. Three almost identical isoforms, HRAS, KRAS and NRAS, are ubiquitously expressed yet have differing biological and ...

Cytokinesis: A regulatory role for Ras-related proteins?

, 1997
Recent molecular genetic studies on the slime mold Dictyostelium have implicated Ras-related small GTP-binding proteins, and proteins that modify their activities such as Ras-GAPs, in the regulation of ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Regulation of Ras proteins by reactive nitrogen species

, 2011
Ras GTPases have been a subject of intense investigation since the early-80’s, when single point mutations in Ras were shown to cause deregulated cell growth control.
