Molecularly Distinct Clathrin-Coated Pits Differentially Impact EGFR Fate and Signaling.

Cell reports 2019 πŸ“Š 69

Adaptor protein 2 (AP2) is a major constituent of clathrin-coated pits (CCPs). Whether it is essential for all forms of clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) in mammalian...

Structural basis for proton inhibition of the two-pore domain K+ channel TASK-1.

Structure (London, England : 1993) 2026

TASK-1 is a pH-sensitive two-pore domain K+ channel implicated in diseases including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and developmental delay with sleep apnea (DDSA). Structures of...

Extracellular vesicles from wild-type Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B-cells export host DNA and EBV EBER1.

bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology 2026

ABSTRACT Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection is nearly ubiquitous and strongly linked to multiple sclerosis (MS), but how EBV-infected B cells communicate with distal tissues remains...

Structures of human telomerase with BIBR1532 reveal novel mechanism of inhibition.

Nature chemical biology 2026

Abstract Human telomerase processively adds telomeric repeats (dGGTTAG) to chromosome 3β€²-ends to maintain telomere length. While mostly absent in somatic cells, telomerase is aberrantly upregulated...

The homeodomain transcription factor Phox2 in the stellate ganglion of the squid Loligo pealei.

Biology open 2015

ABSTRACTHomeodomain transcription factors regulate development of embryos and cellular physiology in adult systems. Paired-type homeodomain genes constitute a subclass that has been particularly implicated in...

Molecular Dynamics Simulations with NAMD and Trajectory Analysis.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) 2026

Molecular simulations offer a window into proteins' movements, which other methods fail to measure. The fractional, slight modifications of structure seen, for example, in molecular...

A proteomic approach reveals integrin activation state-dependent control of microtubule cortical targeting.

Nature communications 2015 πŸ“Š 76

AbstractIntegrin activation, which is regulated by allosteric changes in receptor conformation, enables cellular responses to the chemical, mechanical and topological features of the extracellular microenvironment....

Autophagy-related Atg8 localizes to the apicoplast of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.

PloS one 2012 πŸ“Š 93

Autophagy is a membrane-mediated degradation process, which is governed by sequential functions of Atg proteins. Although Atg proteins are highly conserved in eukaryotes, protozoa possess...

Dynactin subunit p150(Glued) is a neuron-specific anti-catastrophe factor.

PLoS biology 2013 πŸ“Š 95

Regulation of microtubule dynamics in neurons is critical, as defects in the microtubule-based transport of axonal organelles lead to neurodegenerative disease. The microtubule motor cytoplasmic...

The glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase-1 assembles into filaments.

The Journal of cell biology 2017 πŸ“Š 103

Despite abundant knowledge of the regulation and biochemistry of glycolytic enzymes, we have limited understanding on how they are spatially organized in the cell. Emerging...
