Multiple Quality Control Mechanisms in the ER and TGN Determine Subcellular Dynamics and Salt-Stress Tolerance Function of KORRIGAN1.

Among many glycoproteins within the plant secretory system, KORRIGAN1 (KOR1), a membrane-anchored endo-b1,4-glucanase involved in cellulose biosynthesis, provides a link between N-glycosylation, cell-wall biosynthesis, and abiotic stress tolerance. After insertion into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), KOR1 cycles between the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and the plasma membrane (PM). From the TGN, the protein is targeted to growing cell plates during cell division. These processes are governed by mul

DENN domain-containing protein FAM45A regulates the homeostasis of late/multivesicular endosomes.
Biochimica et biophysica acta. Molecular cell research

DENN (differentially expressed in normal cells and neoplasia) domain-containing proteins are a family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for Rab small GTPases and coordinate a plethora of intracellular membrane trafficking events. FAM45A is a non-classical DENN domain protein whose function was unknown. In this study we characterized cellular roles of FAM45A. We found that FAM45A localized mainly in late/multivesicular endosomes. Depletion of FAM45A resulted in clustering of endosomes

A Tyrosine Phosphorylation Cycle Regulates Fungal Activation of a Plant Receptor Ser/Thr Kinase.

Plants initiate immunity by cell-surface pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) which perceive non-self molecules. PRRs are predominantly receptor serine/threonine (Ser/Thr) kinases that are evolutionarily related to animal interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK)/Pelle-soluble kinases. However how the activity of these receptor kinases is modulated remains poorly understood. We report that the Arabidopsis PRR chitin elicitor receptor kinase 1 (CERK1) is autophosphorylated in unstimulated c

Myosins are critical motor proteins that contribute to the secretory pathway, polarized growth, and cytokinesis. The globular tail domains of class V myosins have been shown to be important for cargo binding and actin cable organization. Additionally, phosphorylation plays a role in class V myosin cargo choice. Our previous studies on the class V myosin MyoE in the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus confirmed its requirement for normal morphology and virulence. However, the domains and molecu

C-terminus Proteolysis and Palmitoylation Cooperate for Optimal Plasma Membrane Localization of RasA in Aspergillus fumigatus.
Frontiers in microbiology
Al Abdallah Q,Martin-Vicente A,Souza ACO,Ge W,Fortwendel JR
RasA is a major regulator of fungal morphogenesis and virulence in . The proper localization of RasA to the plasma membrane is essential for the formation of invasive hyphae during infection. In yeast the localization of Ras2p to the plasma membrane is orchestrated by several post-translational modifications (PTM) at the C-terminal CAAX box that are thought to occur in sequential order. These PTMs include: (1) CAAX motif farnesylation by the farnesyltransferase complex composed of Ram1p and Ram2

Cartilage Derived from Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Expresses Lubricin In Vitro and In Vivo.

Nakagawa Y,Muneta T,Otabe K,Ozeki N,Mizuno M,Udo M,Saito R,Yanagisawa K,Ichinose S,Koga H,Tsuji K,Sekiya I
OBJECTIVE:Lubricin expression in the superficial cartilage will be a crucial factor in the success of cartilage regeneration. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an attractive cell source and the use of aggregates of MSCs has some advantages in terms of chondrogenic potential and efficiency of cell adhesion. Lubricin expression in transplanted MSCs has not been fully elucidated so far. Our goals were to determine (1) whether cartilage pellets of human MSCs expressed lubricin in vitro chondrogenesi

Tissue-specific mitotic bookmarking by hematopoietic transcription factor GATA1.

SummaryTissue-specific transcription patterns are preserved throughout cell divisions to maintain lineage fidelity. We investigated whether transcription factor GATA1 plays a role in transmitting hematopoietic gene expression programs through mitosis when transcription is transiently silenced. Live-cell imaging revealed that a fraction of GATA1 is retained focally within mitotic chromatin. ChIP-seq of highly purified mitotic cells uncovered that key hematopoietic regulatory genes are occupi

A novel biotinylated lipid raft reporter for electron microscopic imaging of plasma membrane microdomains.
Journal of lipid research
Krager KJ,Sarkar M,Twait EC,Lill NL,Koland JG
The submicroscopic spatial organization of cell surface receptors and plasma membrane signaling molecules is readily characterized by electron microscopy (EM) via immunogold labeling of plasma membrane sheets. Although various signaling molecules have been seen to segregate within plasma membrane microdomains, the biochemical identity of these microdomains and the factors affecting their formation are largely unknown. Lipid rafts are envisioned as submicron membrane subdomains of liquid ordered
