Actin Filament Pointed Ends: Assays for Regulation of Assembly and Disassembly by Tropomodulin and Tropomyosin

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Actin filaments are dynamic polymers whose length depends on regulated monomer association and dissociation at their ends. Actin barbed‐end dynamics are relatively better understood, primarily due to the approximately tenfold faster subunit on/off rates at barbed versus pointed ends.

The RGG motif proteins: Interactions, functions, and regulations

WIREs RNA, Volume 14, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023
RGG motif proteins play vital roles in the translation process from mRNA transport to translational regulation. Functions of RGG motif proteins depend on their ability to bind to RNAs and proteins, localize to various compartments of the cell and post‐translational modifications.

Phosphorylation at the Helm: Kinase‐Mediated Regulation of Primary Cilia Assembly and Disassembly

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The primary cilium serves as an antenna of most vertebrate cells and is important for conveying cues from several signaling pathways into appropriate cellular responses during development and homeostasis. Cilia assembly and disassembly processes are thought to be strictly controlled; however, the precise nature of molecular events underlying ...

Advances in Isotope Labeling for Solution Nucleic Acid NMR Spectroscopy

ChemPlusChem, Accepted Article.
The availability of nucleic acid structural biology methods still lags behind that of proteins, as evidenced by the significantly smaller number of structures deposited in the PDB. The highly skewed ratio of nucleic acid structures, relative to their protein counterparts (~1:50), is inverted with respect to the cellular output of RNA and proteins in ...

Protocol to investigate G protein-coupled receptor signaling kinetics and concentration-dependent responses using ONE-GO biosensors

STAR Protocols
Summary: ONE vector G protein optical (ONE-GO) biosensors are versatile tools to measure the activity of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in cells. The availability of ONE-GO biosensors for ten active Gα subunits representative of all four G protein ...

The Axonal Membrane Protein PRG2 Inhibits PTEN and Directs Growth to Branches

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: In developing neurons, phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) control axon growth and branching by positively regulating PI3K/PI(3,4,5)P3, but how neurons are able to generate sufficient PI(3,4,5)P3 in the presence of high levels of the antagonizing

Advances in networking droplets

Droplet, EarlyView.
Compartmentalization in living systems, where multiple reactions occur in parallel within confined spaces, has inspired the development of droplet networks in the past decade. These fascinating assemblies offer unique and versatile functions that are unattainable by single droplets and have shown their potential as advanced platforms for chemical and ...

BMP4 regulates asymmetric Pkd2 distribution in mouse nodal immotile cilia and ciliary mechanosensing required for left–right determination

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Mouse nodal immotile cilia mechanically sense the bending direction for left–right (L–R) determination and activate the left‐side‐specific signaling cascade, leading to increased Nodal activity. Asymmetric distribution of Pkd2, a crucial channel for L–R determination, on immotile cilia has been reported recently. However, the causal

Trametinib alters contractility of paediatric Noonan syndrome‐associated hypertrophic myocardial tissue slices

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims No curative treatment is available for RASopathy‐associated childhood‐onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (RAS‐CM). Preclinical data and individual reports suggest a beneficial effect of small molecules targeting the RAS–mitogen‐activated protein (MAP) kinase (MAPK) pathway in severely affected RAS‐CM patients.
