The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) cellular sequestration during chronic exposure delays 5-HT₃ receptor resensitization due to Its subsequent release [PDF]

, 2014
The serotonergic synapse is dynamically regulated by serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)) with elevated levels leading to the down-regulation of the serotonin transporter and a variety of 5-HT receptors, including the 5-HT type-3 (5-HT(3)) receptors ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Nanoparticles-cell association predicted by protein corona fingerprints [PDF]

, 2016
In a physiological environment (e.g., blood and interstitial fluids) nanoparticles (NPs) will bind proteins shaping a "protein corona" layer. The long-lived protein layer tightly bound to the NP surface is referred to as the hard corona (HC) and encodes ...

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Cis - trans interactions of cell surface receptors: biological roles and structural basis [PDF]

, 2018
Cell surface receptors bind ligands expressed on other cells (in trans) in order to communicate with neighboring cells. However, an increasing number of cell surface receptors are found to also interact with ligands expressed on the same cell (in cis ...

Perspectives on the Trypanosoma cruzi-host cell receptor interaction [PDF]

, 2009
Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The critical initial event is the interaction of the trypomastigote form of the parasite with host receptors. This review highlights recent observations concerning these interactions.

Guanylate Cyclase, a Cell Surface Receptor

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1989
Guanylate cyclase appears to represent a central member of a diverse family of proteins involved in cell signaling mechanisms including the protein kinases, a low Mr ANP receptor, and possibly adenylate cyclase (based on limited sequence identity with the yeast enzyme).

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

SARM1 is essential for NMDA receptor-dependent endocytosis of AMPA receptors in hippocampal neurons

Neuroscience Research
Long-term depression (LTD) is a form of synaptic plasticity thought to be the cellular basis of experience-dependent learning and memory. LTD is caused by an activity-dependent decrease in cell surface α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid
