Macromolecular Crowding Is Surprisingly Unable to Deform the Structure of a Model Biomolecular Condensate

Julian Charles Shillcock

Simple Summary The cytoplasm of a living cell is a crowded place, containing hundreds of types of protein and other macromolecules. Cells reliably and continually perform thousands of biochemical reactions to maintain their health. Biomolecular condensates ...

Tau accumulation in degradative organelles is associated to lysosomal stress

Maurizio Molinari

Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by the brain deposition of insoluble amyloidogenic proteins, such as alpha-synuclein or Tau, and the concomitant deterioration of cell functions such as the autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP). The ALP is involve ...

Intact Drosophila central nervous system cellular quantitation reveals sexual dimorphism

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Evelyne Ruchti, Ying Shi, Brian Donal McCabe, Wei Jiao, Soumya Banerjee, Gard Spreemann, Samuel William Vernon

Establishing with precision the quantity and identity of the cell types of the brain is a prerequisite for a detailed compendium of gene and protein expression in the central nervous system (CNS). Currently, however, strict quantitation of cell numbers has ...

ER-phagy responses in yeast, plants, and mammalian cells and their crosstalk with UPR and ERAD

Maurizio Molinari

ER-phagy, literally endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-eating, defines the constitutive or regulated clearance of ER portions within metazoan endolysosomes or yeast and plant vacuoles. The advent of electron microscopy led to the first observations of ER-phagy ove ...

On the use of direct-coupling analysis with a reduced alphabet of amino acids combined with super-secondary structure motifs for protein fold prediction

Jaume Bonet Martinez

Direct-coupling analysis (DCA) for studying the coevolution of residues in proteins has been widely used to predict the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its sequence. We present RADI/raDIMod, a variation of the original DCA algorithm that grou ...

A fully joint Bayesian quantitative trait locus mapping of human protein abundance in plasma

Anthony Christopher Davison, Jörg Hager, Hélène Ruffieux, Radu Popescu

Molecular quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses are increasingly popular to explore the genetic architecture of complex traits, but existing studies do not leverage shared regulatory patterns and suffer from a large multiplicity burden, which hampers the ...

Altered interplay between endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria in Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A neuropathy

Bernard Schneider, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Catherine Maclachlan, Roman Chrast, Cylia Cloé Rochat, Nathalie Marie Géraldine Bernard

Mutations in the MFN2 gene encoding Mitofusin 2 lead to the development of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A (CMT2A), a dominant axonal form of peripheral neuropathy. Mitofusin 2 is localized at both the outer membrane of mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticul ...

Post-transcriptional regulation of Nrf2-mRNA by the mRNA-binding proteins HuR and AUF1

Yimon Aye, Xuyu Liu, Jesse Poganik

The nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling axis is a target of covalent drugs and bioactive native electrophiles. However, much of our understanding of Nrf2 regulation has been focused at the protein level. Here we report a post-trans ...
