Uncovering and engineering the mechanical properties of the adhesion GPCR ADGRG1 GAIN domain

Patrick Daniel Barth, Florence Pojer, Mahdi Hijazi, Matthieu François Marfoglia, Louis Georges Baptiste Dumas

Key cellular functions depend on the transduction of extracellular mechanical signals by specialized membrane receptors including adhesion G-protein coupled receptors (aGPCRs). While recently solved structures support aGPCR activation through shedding of t ...

A Vibriophage Takes Antirepression to the Next Level

Melanie Blokesch, Leonardo Filipe Lemos Rocha

Since its isolation by Esther Lederberg, phage lambda and its repressor protein CI have contributed substantially to the advancement of molecular biology. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Silpe et al. (2020) characterize the antirepressor Qtip of Vibr ...

Translating Hedgehog in Cancer: Controlling Protein Synthesis

Davide D'Amico

Developmental Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is found deregulated in a broad spectrum of human malignancies and, thus, is an attractive target for cancer therapy. Currently available Hh inhibitors have shown the rapid occurrence of drug resistance, due to altered ...

Neurobehavioural activation during peripheral immunosuppression

Raphaël Doenlen

Like other physiological responses, immune functions are the subject of behavioural conditioning. Conditioned immunosuppression can be induced by contingently pairing a novel taste with an injection of the immunosuppressant cyclosporine A (CsA) in an assoc ...

Investigating Endocytic Pathways to the Endoplasmic Reticulum and to the Cytosol Using SNAP-Trap

Kai Johnsson

Cholera toxin enters cells via an unusual pathway that involves trafficking through endosomes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Whether the toxin induces its own pathway or travels along a physiological retrograde route is not known. To study its traffick ...

Hedgehog pathway regulators influence cervical cancer cell proliferation, survival and migration

Peter Martin Beard, Ivana Samarzija

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is considered to be a primary hit that causes cervical cancer. However, infection with this agent, although needed, is not sufficient for a cancer to develop. Additional cellular changes are required to complement the a ...

Lrig1: a new master regulator of epithelial stem cells

Paloma Ordonez Moran

The intestine represents the most vigorously renewing, adult epithelial tissue that makes maintenance of its homeostasis a delicate balance between proliferation, cell cycle arrest, migration, differentiation, and cell death. These processes are precisely ...

A Novel Yeast-Based Platform for Small Molecule Target Deconvolution Reveals Previously Unknown Binding Partners for the Approved Drugs Erlotinib, Atorvastatin, and Sulfasalazine

Christopher Chidley

The identification of all protein targets of a small molecule drug, i.e. target deconvolution, provides the basis for understanding its beneficial or deleterious actions. Target deconvolution remains a major and often problematic task within the biotechnol ...

Hedgehog signaling is dispensable for adult hematopoietic stem cell function

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch, Shuai Liu

The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is a developmentally conserved regulator of stem cell function. Several reports suggested that Hh signaling is an important regulator of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) maintenance and differentiation. Here we test this hy ...
