Trans-anethole Induces Thermogenesis via Activating SERCA/SLN Axis in C2C12 Muscle Cells

Recently, adaptive non-shivering thermogenesis has attracted considerable attention because it can elevate energy expenditure and help treat obesity. Despite the numerous reports related to UCP1-driven thermogenesis, little is known regarding UCP1-independ ...

The WRB Subunit of the Get3 Receptor is Required for the Correct Integration of its Partner CAML into the ER

Calcium-modulating cyclophilin ligand (CAML), together with Tryptophan rich basic protein (WRB, Get1 in yeast), constitutes the mammalian receptor for the Transmembrane Recognition Complex subunit of 40 kDa (TRC40, Get3 in yeast), a cytosolic ATPase with a ...

Cyclodextrin triggers MCOLN1-dependent endo-lysosome secretion in Niemann-Pick type C cells[S]

Jonathan Paz Montoya, Marc Moniatte

In specialized cell types, lysosome-related organelles support regulated secretory pathways, whereas in nonspecialized cells, lysosomes can undergo fusion with the plasma membrane in response to a transient rise in cytosolic calcium. Recent evidence also i ...

Inner-membrane GspF of the bacterial type II secretion system is a dimeric adaptor mediating pseudopilus biogenesis

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

The type II secretion system (T2SS), a protein complex spanning the bacterial envelope, is pivotal to bacterial pathogenicity. Central to T2SS function is the extrusion of protein cargos from the periplasm into the extracellular environment mediated by a p ...

Intercellular ultrafast Ca2+ wave in vascular smooth muscle cells: numerical and experimental study

Jean-Jacques Meister, Niccolo Piacentini, Franck Claude Raynaud, Jairo Camilo Quijano Perez

Vascular smooth muscle cells exhibit intercellular Ca2+ waves in response to local mechanical or KCl stimulation. Recently, a new type of intercellular Ca2+ wave was observed in vitro in a linear arrangement of smooth muscle cells. The intercellular wave w ...

Structural and functional characterization of the mycobacterial ESX-1 secretion system

Ye Lou

Human tuberculosis (TB) is a frequently fatal lung disease mostly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), a slow-growing intracellular pathogen. M. tb utilizes the ESX-1 secretion system, classified as type VII, to export the virulence factors needed ...

Microfluidic chip for monitoring Ca2+ transport through a confluent layer of intestinal cells

Martinus Gijs, Paolo Silacci, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin, Josias Basil Wacker, Christine Ruffert, Guy Vergères

The absorption of dietary calcium through the intestinal barrier is essential for maintaining health in general and especially of the bone system. We propose a microfluidic model that studies free calcium (Ca2+) transport through a confluent monolayer of C ...

Critical roles of isoleucine-364 and adjacent residues in a hydrophobic gate control of phospholipid transport by the mammalian P4-ATPase ATP8A2

Matteo Dal Peraro, Thomas Lemmin, Anna Vestergaard

P4-ATPases (flippases) translocate specific phospholipids such as phosphatidylserine from the exoplasmic leaflet of the cell membrane to the cytosolic leaflet, upholding an essential membrane asymmetry. The mechanism of flipping this giant substrate has re ...

Ultrafast Ca2+ wave in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells aligned on a micropatterned surface

Jean-Jacques Meister, Jean-Louis Bény, Benoît Vianay, Jairo Camilo Quijano Perez

Communication between vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) allows control of their contraction and so regulation of blood flow. The contractile state of SMCs is regulated by cytosolic Ca2+ concentration (Ca2+) which propagates as Ca2+ waves over a sign ...
