Two Nimrod receptors, NimC1 and Eater, synergistically contribute to bacterial phagocytosis in Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre, Jan Paul Dudzic, Elodie Julie Virginie Ramond, Andrew Jonathan Bretscher, Claudia Melcarne

Eater and NimC1 are transmembrane receptors of the Drosophila Nimrod family, specifically expressed in haemocytes, the insect blood cells. Previous ex vivo and in vivoRNAi studies have pointed to their role in the phagocytosis of bacteria. Here, we have cr ...

The endosomal sorting adaptor HD-PTP is required for ephrin-B: EphB signalling in cellular collapse and spinal motor axon guidance

Daniel Eduardo Morales Garza

The signalling output of many transmembrane receptors that mediate cell-cell communication is restricted by the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT), but the impact of this machinery on Eph tyrosine kinase receptor function is unknown. ...

An experiment-informed signal transduction model for the role of the Staphylococcus aureus MecR1 protein in beta-lactam resistance

Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata

The treatment of hospital- and community-associated infections by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a perpetual challenge. This Gram-positive bacterium is resistant specifically to beta-lactam antibiotics, and generally to many other an ...

Dynamic Imaging of Lipid Membranes by Means of Water

Orly Bagunu Tarun

Lipid membranes are self-assembled structures whose composition determines the properties of membranes of cells and organelles. The molecular level understanding of lipid membranes is based on spectroscopy and MD simulations of lipid monolayer systems. As ...

Targeted protein degradation through cytosolic delivery of monobody binders using bacterial toxins

Oliver Hantschel, Nadine Eliane Schmit, Katyayanee Neopane

Monobodies are small engineered binding proteins that, upon expression in cells, can inhibit signaling of cytosolic oncoproteins with outstanding selectivity. Efficacy may be further increased by inducing degradation of monobody targets through fusion to t ...

Single-Vesicle Assays Using Liposomes and Cell-Derived Vesicles: From Modeling Complex Membrane Processes to Synthetic Biology and Biomedical Applications

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Ana Catarina Rodrigues Alves

The plasma membrane is of central importance for defining the closed volume of cells in contradistinction to the extracellular environment. The plasma membrane not only serves as a boundary, but it also mediates the exchange of physical and chemical inform ...
