Regulation of Endoplasmic Reticulum Architecture by Protein S-Palmitoylation

Patrick Alain Sandoz

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the largest organelle in mammalian cells. More than 50 years ago, its morphology was already described as consisting of two major compartments: the rough ER and the smooth ER, which both fulfil precise and distinct functio ...

Gyrl-like proteins catalyze cyclopropanoid hydrolysis to confer cellular protection

Shuguang Yuan, Wei Huang, Yue Yin

Gyrl-like proteins are widely distributed in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and recognized as small-molecule binding proteins. Here, we identify a subfamily of these proteins as cyclo-propanoid cyclopropyl hydrolases (CCHs) that can catalyze the hydrolysis of ...

Mitochondrial activity detected by cantilever based sensor

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Petar Stupar, Wojciech Chomicki

Our team recently demonstrated that cantilever based devices can detect signature of life in a chemistry independent manner. In this technique, the organism of interest is attached onto a classical AFM cantilever. If alive, it induces nanometre scale oscil ...

Identification of Chlamydomonas Central Core Centriolar Proteins Reveals a Role for Human WDR90 in Ciliogenesis

Pierre Gönczy, Romain Hamelin, Florence Armand, Coralie Busso, Paul Guichard, Virginie Hamel, Isabelle Fluckiger

Centrioles are evolutionarily conserved macromolecular structures that are fundamental to form cilia, flagella, and centrosomes. Centrioles are 9-fold symmetrical microtubule-based cylindrical barrels comprising three regions that can be clearly distinguis ...

Mitochondrial function can be influenced by mitochondrial shape and connectivity with other cellular organelles through fusion and fission processes. Disturbances in mitochondrial architecture and mitochondrial fusion related genes are observed in situatio ...

American Diabetes Association2016

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a site of protein biogenesis in eukaryotic cells. Perturbing ER homeostasis activates stress programs collectively called the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR enhances production of ER-resident chaperones and enzym ...

Alpha-Synuclein as a Mediator in the Interplay between Aging and Parkinson's Disease

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Wojciech Janusz Bobela

Accumulation and misfolding of the alpha-synuclein protein are core mechanisms in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. While the normal function of alpha-synuclein is mainly related to the control of vesicular neurotransmission, its pathogenic effects ...

A novel UGGT1 and p97-dependent checkpoint for native ectodomains with ionizable intramembrane residue

Maurizio Molinari

Only native polypeptides are released from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to be transported at the site of activity. Persistently misfolded proteins are retained and eventually selected for ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The paradox of a structure-based ...

Interaction of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNP) with Rainbow Trout Gill Cell Lines

Yang Yue

Owing to their unique antimicrobial properties, silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are among the most widely used engineered nanoparticles in a variety of consumer products and medical applications. Their resulting release into the aquatic environment raises conc ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of maturation for secretory and membrane proteins in eukaryotic cells. The lumen of the mammalian ER contains >20 members of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) superfamily, which ensure formation of the correct ...
