HRD Motif as the Central Hub of the Signaling Network for Activation Loop Autophosphorylation in Abl Kinase

Andrea Cavalli, Oliver Hantschel, Grégory La Sala

A number of structural factors modulate the activity of Abelson (Abl) tyrosine kinase, whose deregulation is often related to oncogenic processes. First, only the open conformation of the Abl kinase domain's activation loop (A-loop) favors ATP binding to t ...

Exchanging ligand-binding specificity between a pair of mouse olfactory receptor paralogs reveals odorant recognition principles

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Shuguang Yuan, Luc Veya, Olivia Baud

A multi-gene family of ~1000 G protein-coupled olfactory receptors (ORs) constitutes the molecular basis of mammalian olfaction. Due to the lack of structural data its remarkable capacity to detect and discriminate thousands of odorants remains poorly unde ...

Extracellular Matrix-Inspired Growth Factor Delivery Systems for Skin Wound Healing

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

Significance: Growth factors are very promising molecules for the treatment of skin wounds. However, their translation to clinical use has been seriously limited, facing issues related to safety and cost-effectiveness. These problems may derive from the fa ...

Spontaneous Cdc42 Polarization Independent of GDI-Mediated Extraction and Actin-Based Trafficking

Horst Vogel, Romain Wyss

The small Rho-family GTPase Cdc42 is critical for cell polarization and polarizes spontaneously in absence of upstream spatial cues. Spontaneous polarization is thought to require dynamic Cdc42 recycling through Guanine nucleotide Dissociation Inhibitor (G ...

The Efficacy of Raf Kinase Recruitment to the GTPase H-ras Depends on H-ras Membrane Conformer-specific Nanoclustering

Luc Reymond, Camilo Guzman

Background: Ras nanoclusters contain 6-8 Ras proteins on the plasma membrane and serve as indispensable signaling platforms for Ras-MAPK signaling. Results: Ras membrane conformer mutants impart specific galectin-1-dependent nanoclustering responses. Concl ...

Anillin Regulates Cell-Cell Junction Integrity by Organizing Junctional Accumulation of Rho-GTP and Actomyosin

Ricard Delgado Gonzalo

Anillin is a scaffolding protein that organizes and stabilizes actomyosin contractile rings and was previously thought to function primarily in cytokinesis [1-10]. Using Xenopus laevis embryos as a model system to examine Anillin's role in the intact verte ...

Regulation of Plasmodium falciparum Development by Calcium-dependent Protein Kinase 7 (PfCDPK7)

Second messengers such as phosphoinositides and calcium are known to control diverse processes involved in the development of malaria parasites. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms and pathways need to be unraveled, which may be achieved by unders ...

The Digestive Tract of Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre

The digestive tract plays a central role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Far from being a passive tube, it provides the first line of defense against pathogens and maintains energy homeostasis by exchanging neuronal and endocrine signals with ...

A Role for Septins in the Interaction between the Listeria monocytogenes Invasion Protein InlB and the Met Receptor

Sandor Kasas, Charles Roduit

Septins are conserved GTPases that form filaments and are required for cell division. During interphase, septin filaments associate with cellular membrane and cytoskeleton networks, yet the functional significance of these associations have, to our knowled ...
