The Race to Salvage Glucocerebrosidase: Understanding Small‐Molecule Therapies for GBA1‐Associated Parkinsonism

open access: yesMovement Disorders, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 596-602, March 2026.
Variants in GBA1, the gene encoding the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase, cause Gaucher disease and confer an increased risk for parkinsonism. Strategies using small molecules can improve the function of glucocerebrosidase in lysosomes. A clear understanding of the mechanism‐of‐action of these compounds will facilitate development of GBA1‐modulating

Unraveling Lysosomal Exocytosis: From Molecular Mechanisms to Physiological Functions

open access: yesTraffic, Volume 27, Issue 1, March 2026.
Lysosomal exocytosis is propelled by specific molecular mechanisms that direct its microtubule‐dependent transport and subsequent fusion with the plasma membrane. This process fulfills essential physiological functions such as plasma membrane repair, maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and participation in signal transduction.

Cathepsin-mediated regulation of autophagy in saposin C deficiency [PDF]

open access: yesAutophagy, 2013
Saposin C deficiency, a rare variant form of Gaucher disease, is due to mutations in the prosaposin gene (PSAP) affecting saposin C expression and/or function. We previously reported that saposin C mutations affecting one cysteine residue result in autophagy dysfunction.

Heterologous Production of Cyprosin B in Nicotiana benthamiana: Unveiling the Role of the Plant‐Specific Insert Domain in Protein Function and Subcellular Localisation

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 256-272, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant systems have gained increased attention as an alternative platform for producing heterologous proteins, particularly for industrially relevant proteins. The Cynara cardunculus L. flower extract is traditionally used in cheese production across Mediterranean countries due to its milk‐clotting properties.

The Influence of Schwann Cell Metabolism and Dysfunction on Axon Maintenance

open access: yesGlia, Volume 73, Issue 12, Page 2338-2352, December 2025.
Main Points Sensory neurons depend on Schwann cells for survival. Schwann cells provide energy for axons dunng rapid firing or after injury. Dysregulated metabolism in Schwann cells can lead to the production of neurotoxic and axon degeneration. ABSTRACT Schwann cells are the glial cells in the peripheral nervous system responsible for the production ...

ACE‐mediated Glycosylation Stabilizes PSAP To Promote GPR37‐dependent Macrophage‐Nucleus Pulposus Cells Crosstalk and TGFβ Signaling in Alleviating Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 43, November 20, 2025.
ACE can modulate the CBL‐mediated K48 ubiquitination degradation of PSAP by altering its glycosylation levels in NP cells. As a result, NP cells secrete PSAP, which interacts with GPR37 on macrophage surfaces, facilitating their polarization toward the M2 phenotype. These M2 macrophages subsequently secrete TGFβ, which exerts feedback effects on the NP

Molecular role of sulfated glycoprotein-1 (SGP-I/Prosaposin) in Sertoli cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Sulfated Glycoprotein- 1 (SGP- 1) is a major polypeptide secreted by rat Sertoli cells. Sequence analysis revealed a 70% sequence similarity with human prosaposin and a 80% similarity with mouse prosaposin.
