Internalization and vacuolar targeting of the brassinosteroid hormone receptor BRI1 are regulated by ubiquitination

Brassinosteroids are plant steroid hormones that control many aspects of plant growth and development, and are perceived at the cell surface by the plasma membrane-localized receptor kinase BRI1. Here we show that BRI1 is post-translationally modified by K ...

Modeling and Engineering Proteins Thermostability

Hasan Pezeshgi Modarres

Enzymes have evolved during millions of years to become efficient catalysts for specific biochemical reactions within a specific range of working conditions in the cellular environment. The activity of an enzyme is directly related to its folded structure ...

No DDRama at chromosome ends: TRF2 takes centre stage

Antonio Porro, Liuh-Yow Chen, Sascha Feuerhahn

Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures capping the natural termini of eukaryotic linear chromosomes. Telomeres possess an inherent ability to circumvent the activation of a full-blown DNA damage response (DDR), and hence fusion reactions, by limiting inapp ...

Sumoylated Human Histone H4 Prevents Chromatin Compaction by Inhibiting Long-range Internucleosomal Interactions

Beat Fierz, Abhinav Dhall

The structure of eukaryotic chromatin directly influences gene function, and is regulated by chemical modifications of the core histone proteins. Modification of the human histone H4 N-terminal tail region by the small ubiquitin-like modifier protein, SUMO ...

SUMOylation-Dependent LRH-1/PROX1 Interaction Promotes Atherosclerosis by Decreasing Hepatic Reverse Cholesterol Transport

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Dongryeol Ryu, Xu Wang, Keir Joe Menzies, Chikage Mataki, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Pan Xu

Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is an antiatherogenic process in which excessive cholesterol from peripheral tissues is transported to the liver and finally excreted from the body via the bile. The nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) driv ...

Nedd4 and Nedd4-2: Ubiquitin ligases at work in the neuron

Ubiquitination of proteins by the Nedd4 family of ubiquitin ligases is a significant mechanism in protein trafficking and degradation and provides for tight spatiotemporal regulation. Ubiquitination is gaining increasing recognition as a central mechanism ...

Autoadaptive ER-Associated Degradation Defines a Preemptive Unfolded Protein Response Pathway

Maurizio Molinari, Riccardo Bernasconi

Folding-defective proteins must be cleared efficiently from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to prevent perturbation of the folding environment and to maintain cellular proteostasis. Misfolded proteins engage dislocation machineries (dislocons) built around ...

dRYBP Contributes to the Negative Regulation of the Drosophila Imd Pathway

Bruno Lemaitre

The Drosophila humoral innate immune response fights infection by producing antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) through the microbe-specific activation of the Toll or the Imd signaling pathway. Upon systemic infection, the production of AMPs is both positively a ...

Synthetic polyubiquitinated α-Synuclein reveals important insights into the roles of the ubiquitin chain in regulating its pathophysiology

Hilal Lashuel, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Mirva Hejjaoui, Mahmood Haj Yahya

Ubiquitination regulates, via different modes of modifications, a variety of biological processes, and aberrations in the process have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases. However, our ability to dissect the pathophysi ...

Dysregulation of voltage-gated sodium channels by ubiquitin ligase NEDD4-2 in neuropathic pain

Bernard Schneider, Christopher Towne, Isabelle Chang

Peripheral neuropathic pain is a disabling condition resulting from nerve injury. It is characterized by the dysregulation of voltage-gated sodium channels (Na(v)s) expressed in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons. The mechanisms underlying the alte ...
