Drosophila SNAP-29 is an essential SNARE that binds multiple proteins involved in membrane traffic. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Each membrane fusion event along the secretory and endocytic pathways requires a specific set of SNAREs to assemble into a 4-helical coiled-coil, the so-called trans-SNARE complex.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Golgi-associated retrograde protein (GARP) is an evolutionary conserved heterotetrameric protein complex that tethers endosome-derived vesicles and is vital for Golgi glycosylation. Microscopy and proteomic approaches were employed to investigate defects

News and Views into the SNARE Complexity in Arabidopsis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 Secretory organelles are engaged in a continuous flux of membranes, which is believed to occur mostly via transport vesicles. Being critical in maintaining several cellular functions, transport vesicles are membrane-enclosed sacs that temporarily store ...

Numerical Experiments with Coupled Membranes and the Snare Mechanism [PDF]
, 2010 National audienceThe snare drum is one of the more complex musical instruments from a modeling and synthesis perspective---it includes elements modeled as 0D (the drum stick), 1D (the snares), 2D (a pair of membranes) and 3D (the cavity and perhaps the ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Selectivity and injury risk in an improved neck snare for live‐capture of foxes
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012 Neck snares have been considered valuable for the control of canids and to catch canids for scientific purposes, but they have been criticized for perceived low target selectivity and poor animal‐welfare. In 2006, we designed an experimental passive neck

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

AAA+ protein unfoldases—the Moirai of the proteome
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.AAA+ unfoldases are essential molecular motors that power protein degradation and disaggregation. This review integrates recent cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) structures and single‐molecule biophysical data to reconcile competing models of substrate translocation.
