High expression of small GTPase Rab3D promotes cancer progression and metastasis

open access: yesOncoTarget, 2015
Rab GTPases control exocytic and endocytic membrane trafficking such as exosomes release. As a secretory small GTPase, Rab3D is a vital regulator for protein secretion. However, the role of Rab3D in cancer was never systematically studied.

Diffusion‐based size determination of solute particles: a method adapted for postsynaptic proteins

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We present a diffusion‐based approach for measuring the size of macromolecules and their complexes, and demonstrate its use on postsynaptic proteins. The method requires fluorescein‐labelled protein samples, a microfluidic device that maintains laminar flow for said samples, a microscope recording the emitted fluorescent signals, and an analytic ...

Histone deacetylase inhibitors induce invasion of human melanoma cells in vitro via differential regulation of N-cadherin expression and RhoA activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) exert multiple cytotoxic actions on cancer cells. Currently, different synthetic HDACi are in clinical use or clinical trials; nevertheless, since both pro-invasive and anti-invasive activities have been

Small GTPase Rab7-mediated FgAtg9 trafficking is essential for autophagy-dependent development and pathogenicity in Fusarium graminearum

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2018
Fusarium graminearum is a fungal pathogen that causes Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat and barley. Autophagy is a highly conserved vacuolar degradation pathway essential for cellular homeostasis in which Atg9 serves as a multispanning membrane protein

Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 4A1 (PTP4A1) Regulates Early Events in Colorectal Cancer Intraperitoneal Dissemination in the Aged Male Host

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality is highest in aged males. Pre‐clinical data comparing CRC i.p. metastasis in cohorts of young and aged, male and female mice support these finding. Bottom‐up proteomics of peritoneal mesothelial cells identified PTP4A1 as highly expressed in aged males and a role for PTP4A1 in heterotypic cell:cell adhesion was ...

Allosteric regulation of a prokaryotic small Ras-like GTPase contributes to cell polarity oscillations in bacterial motility.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2019
Mutual gliding motility A (MglA), a small Ras-like GTPase; Mutual gliding motility B (MglB), its GTPase activating protein (GAP); and Required for Motility Response Regulator (RomR), a protein that contains a response regulator receiver domain, are major

Genetic Modifiers of Parkinson's Disease: A Case–Control Study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the associations of LRRK2 p.G2019S, GBA1 p.N409S, polygenic risk scores (PRS), and APOE E4 on PD penetrance, risk, and symptoms. Methods We conducted a US‐based observational case–control study using data from the 23andMe Inc. and Fox Insight Genetic Substudy (FIGS) databases.

Pathological functions of the small GTPase Arf6 in cancer progression: Tumor angiogenesis and metastasis

open access: yesSmall GTPases, 2016
Although several lines of evidence have shown that the small GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (Arf6) plays pivotal roles in cancer progression of several types of cancers, little is known about the functions of Arf6 in tumor microenvironment.

Nationwide Characterization of MFN2‐Related CMT in 176 Japanese Patients: Clinical and Genetic Insights

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) is a major causative gene for axonal Charcot – Marie – Tooth disease type 2A (CMT2A), with a wide phenotypic spectrum. Comprehensive large ‐ scale genotype – phenotype association studies are essential for understanding disease pathogenesis and improved clinical management.

Small GTPase Rab3B: biological properties and possible role in carcinogenesis

open access: yesУспехи молекулярной онкологии, 2019
Proteins of the superfamily of small guanosine triphosphate hydrolase (GTPase) perform various functions: from the control of cell proliferation to the regulation of vesicular transport. The superfamily of small GTPase Ras includes more than 150 proteins,
