The role of LRRK2 in lung adenocarcinoma

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and the most commonlung cancer subtype is lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Frequently mutated genes involveactivating mutations in KRAS and loss of function mutations in TP53. LUADs primarily a ...

Structural basis of the activation of the CC chemokine receptor 5 by a chemokine agonist

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Nicolas Calo, Polina Isaikina

The human CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that plays a major role in inflammation and is involved in cancer, HIV, and COVID-19. Despite its importance as a drug target, the molecular activation mechanism of CCR5, i.e., ...

Biallelic mutations in calcium release activated channel regulator 2A (CRACR2A) cause a primary immunodeficiency disorder

Dylan Lawless, Beibei Wu

CRAC channel regulator 2 A (CRACR2A) is a large Rab GTPase that is expressed abundantly in T cells and acts as a signal transmitter between T cell receptor stimulation and activation of the Ca2+-NFAT and JNK-AP1 pathways. CRACR2A has been linked to human d ...

Dopaminergic neurodegeneration induced by Parkinson's disease-linked G2019S LRRK2 is dependent on kinase and GTPase activity

Elpida Tsika, Darren Moore, Xi Chen

Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most common cause of late-onset, autosomal-dominant familial Parkinson's disease (PD). LRRK2 functions as both a kinase and GTPase, and PD-linked mutations are known to influence both enzymatic acti ...

Organelle-specific targeting of polymersomes into the cell nucleus

Zekiye Pelin Güven

Organelle-specific nanocarriers (NCs) are highly sought after for delivering therapeutic agents into the cell nucleus. This necessitates nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) to bypass nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). However, little is known as to how comparabl ...

Extent of N-terminus exposure of monomeric alpha-synuclein determines its aggregation propensity

Hilal Lashuel, Anass Chiki

As an intrinsically disordered protein, monomeric alpha-synuclein (aSyn) occupies a large conformational space. Certain conformations lead to aggregation prone and non-aggregation prone intermediates, but identifying these within the dynamic ensemble of mo ...

Chemical genetic screen identifies Gapex-5/GAPVDI and STBD1 as novel AMPK substrates

Kei Sakamoto, Maria Deak, Caterina Collodet, Susanne Seitz

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key regulator of cellular energy homeostasis, acting as a sensor of energy and nutrient status. As such, AMPK is considered a promising drug target for treatment of medical conditions particularly associated with me ...

Effect of N-Terminal Myristoylation on the Active Conformation of Gα

Ursula Röthlisberger, Siri Camee van Keulen

G proteins are part of the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signal transduction cascade in which they transfer a signal from the membrane-embedded GPCR to other proteins in the cell. In the case of the inhibitory G-protein heterotrimer, permanent N-termin ...

Computer vision profiling of neurite outgrowth dynamics reveals spatio-temporal modularity of Rho GTPase signaling

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Kevin Smith, Germán González Serrano

Rho guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) control the cytoskeletal dynamics that power neurite outgrowth. This process consists of dynamic neurite initiation, elongation, retraction, and branching cycles that are likely to be regulated by specific spatiotemp ...

AMP-activated protein kinase

Serge Thanh Son Ducommun

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an evolutionally conserved key sensor of cellular energy status. Under conditions of cellular energy stress, AMPK is activated and will switch off anabolic processes that consume ATP, while activating catabolic proces ...
