Thioredoxin-Related Transmembrane Proteins: TMX1 and Little Brothers TMX2, TMX3, TMX4 and TMX5

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is site of synthesis and maturation of membrane and secretory proteins in eukaryotic cells. The ER contains more than 20 members of the Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) family. These enzymes regulate formation, isomerization ...

Calcium-Mediated Liposome Fusion to Engineer Giant Lipid Vesicles with Cytosolic Proteins and Reconstituted Mammalian Proteins

Leo Scheller

Giant unilamellar lipid vesicles (GUVs) are widely used as model membrane systems and provide an excellent basis to construct artificial cells. To construct more sophisticated artificial cells, proteins-in particular membrane proteins-need to be incorporat ...

Proteasomal and lysosomal clearance of faulty secretory proteins: ER-associated degradation (ERAD) and ER-to-lysosome-associated degradation (ERLAD) pathways

Maurizio Molinari

About 40% of the eukaryotic cell's proteins are inserted co- or post-translationally in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where they attain the native structure under the assistance of resident molecular chaperones and folding enzymes. Subsequently, these pr ...

Characterization of Coenzyme Q Biosynthesis Proteins through Integrative Modeling at the Protein-Membrane Interface

Deniz Aydin

Integral and peripheral membrane proteins account for one-third of the human proteome, and they are estimated to represent the target for over 50% of modern medicinal drugs. Despite their central role in medicine, the complex, heterogeneous and dynamic nat ...

Using NanoSIMS coupled with microfluidics to visualize the early stages of coral infection by Vibrio coralliilyticus

Anders Meibom, Isabelle Domart-Coulon, Emma Mary Gibbin

Background: Global warming has triggered an increase in the prevalence and severity of coral disease, yet little is known about coral/pathogen interactions in the early stages of infection. The point of entry of the pathogen and the route that they take on ...

Ubiquitin-dependent folding of the Wnt signaling coreceptor LRP6

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Béatrice Kunz, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Michal Feldman Elmalam, Elsa Anne Perrody

Many membrane proteins fold inefficiently and require the help of enzymes and chaperones. Here we reveal a novel folding assistance system that operates on membrane proteins from the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We show that folding of ...

Five Questions (with their Answers) on ER-Associated Degradation

Maurizio Molinari

Production of a functional proteome is a major burden for our cells. Native proteins operate inside and outside the cells to eventually warrant life and adaptation to metabolic and environmental changes, there is no doubt that production and inappropriate ...

Semisynthetic and in Vitro Phosphorylation of Alpha-Synuclein at Y39 Promotes Functional Partly Helical Membrane-Bound States Resembling Those Induced by PD Mutations

Hilal Lashuel, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Carole Desobry, Farah El Turk, Ana Jovicic

Alpha-synuclein is a presynaptic protein of poorly understood function that is linked to both genetic and sporadic forms of Parkinson's disease. We have proposed that alpha-synuclein may function specifically at synaptic vesicles docked at the plasma membr ...

N-linked sugar-regulated protein folding and quality control in the ER

Maurizio Molinari

Asparagine-linked glycans (N-glycans) are displayed on the majority of proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Removal of the outermost glucose residue recruits the lectin chaperone malectin possibly involved in a first triage of defective ...

Endosomes: Guardians Against [Ru(Phen)3]2+ Photo-action In Endothelial Cells During In Vivo pO2 Detection?

Georges Wagnières, Veronika Huntosova

Phototoxicity is a side-effect of in vitro and in vivo oxygen partial pressure (pO(2)) detection by luminescence lifetime measurement methods. Dichlorotris(1,10-phenanthroline)-ruthenium(II) hydrate (Ru(Phen)(3)) is a water soluble pO(2) probe associ ...

UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT1) promotes substrate solubility in the endoplasmic reticulum

Maurizio Molinari

Protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is error prone, and ER quality control (ERQC) processes ensure that only correctly folded proteins are exported from the ER. Glycoproteins can be retained in the ER by ERQC, and this retention contributes t ...

Role of Protein Kinase C and Munc18-1 in a Presynaptic Form of Plasticity, Post-tetanic Potentiation

Özgür Genç

Neurons are arranged in networks in which they communicate between each other by the means of synapses. Synaptic transmission can undergo activity-dependent and short-lived changes in strength, known as short-term synaptic plasticity. Short-term plasticity ...

Palmitoylated calnexin is a key component of the ribosome-translocon complex

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Matteo Dal Peraro, Thomas Lemmin, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Béatrice Kunz, Sanja Blaskovic

A third of the human genome encodes N-glycosylated proteins. These are co-translationally translocated into the lumen/membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where they fold and assemble before they are transported to their final destination. Here, we s ...

RIM Determines Ca²+ Channel Density and Vesicle Docking at the Presynaptic Active Zone

Yunyun Han

Fast neurotransmitter release is essential for neuron-neuron communication and is initiated by the opening of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels close to docked vesicles at the presynaptic active zone. The high concentration of Ca2+ channels at the active zone is ...

ERAD and ERAD tuning: disposal of cargo and of ERAD regulators from the mammalian ER

Maurizio Molinari, Riccardo Bernasconi

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of maturation for secretory and membrane proteins in eukaryotic cells. Unsuccessful folding attempts are eventually interrupted and most folding-defective polypeptides are dislocated across the ER membrane and deg ...

Rat bladder muscle regeneration induced by local delivery of an engineered insulin-like growth factor 1 in fibrin gels

Lirong Yang

Currently, both congenital abnormalities and developmental problems of the bladder in children, and other dysfunctions in adults, require reconstructive surgery. Such correction involves transplant action of native tissues (such as gastrointestinal segment ...
