Intracerebroventricular Injection of Alarin Increased Glucose Uptake in Skeletal Muscle of Diabetic Rats. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
In order to investigate the central effect of alarin on glucose uptake, we administered alarin and/ or its inhibitor, ala6-25Cys into the cerebral ventricles of the type 2 diabetic rats.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

The Emp24 complex recruits a specific cargo molecule into endoplasmic reticulum-derived vesicles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Members of the yeast p24 family, including Emp24p and Erv25p, form a heteromeric complex required for the efficient transport of selected proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Characterization of FER1L5, a novel dysferlin myoferlin related protein [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The ferlins are mammalian homologues of the C-elegans sperm vesicle fusion protein FER-1 characterised by multiple C2 domains and a C-terminal anchor.

Inhibition of cellular protein secretion by norwalk virus nonstructural protein p22 requires a mimic of an endoplasmic reticulum export signal.

open access: yes, 2013
Protein trafficking between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus is central to cellular homeostasis. ER export signals are utilized by a subset of proteins to rapidly exit the ER by direct uptake into COPII vesicles for transport to the ...

Rabaptin5 is recruited to endosomes by Rab4a and Rabex5 to regulate endosome maturation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Membrane trafficking between organelles is fundamental to the existence of eukaryotic cells. A multitude of proteins is involved in membrane trafficking, acting as building blocks for transport carriers, regulators of transport, and targeting and fusion ...

A role for myocilin in receptor-mediated endocytosis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Myocilin is a broadly expressed protein that when mutated uniquely causes glaucoma. While no function has been ascribed to explain focal disease, some properties of myocilin are known.

Vesicle-associated Membrane Protein 2 (VAMP2) but Not VAMP3 Mediates cAMP-stimulated Trafficking of the Renal Na+-K+-2Cl− Co-transporter NKCC2 in Thick Ascending Limbs [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
In the kidney, epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb (TAL) reabsorb NaCl via the apical Na(+)/K(+)/2Cl(-) co-transporter NKCC2. Steady-state surface NKCC2 levels in the apical membrane are maintained by a balance between exocytic delivery, endocytosis, and recycling. cAMP is the second messenger of hormones that enhance NaCl absorption.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...
