LUZP1 Controls Cell Division, Migration and Invasion Through Regulation of the Actin Cytoskeleton
(Frontiers Media, 2021-04-01)
LUZP1 is a centrosomal and actin cytoskeleton-localizing protein that regulates both ciliogenesis and actin filament bundling. As the cytoskeleton and cilia are implicated in metastasis and tumor suppression, we examined ...
The commensal bacterium Lactiplantibacillus plantarum imprints innate memory-like responses in mononuclear phagocytes
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-07-05)
Gut microbiota is a constant source of antigens and stimuli to which the resident immune system has developed tolerance. However, the mechanisms by which mononuclear phagocytes, specifically monocytes/macrophages, cope ...
A Proteomic Approach for Systematic Mapping of Substrates of Human Deubiquitinating Enzymes
(MDPI, 2021-05-03)
The human genome contains nearly 100 deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) responsible for removing ubiquitin moieties from a large variety of substrates. Which DUBs are responsible for targeting which substrates remain mostly ...
The Multifunctional Role of SPANX-A/D Protein Subfamily in the Promotion of Pro-Tumoural Processes in Human Melanoma
(Nature, 2021-02-11)
Human sperm protein associated with the nucleus on the X chromosome (SPANX) genes encode a protein family (SPANX-A, -B, -C and -D), whose expression is limited to the testis and spermatozoa in normal tissues and various ...
Molecular Mechanisms Regulating the DNA Repair Protein APE1: A Focus on Its Flexible N-Terminal Tail Domain
(MDPI, 2021-06-11)
APE1 (DNA (apurinic/apyrimidinic site) endonuclease 1) is a key enzyme of one of the major DNA repair routes, the BER (base excision repair) pathway. APE1 fulfils additional functions, acting as a redox regulator of ...
