Oxidative stress induced by 6-OHDA stimulates autophagy flux, which enhances STX17-mediated autolysosome formation, leading to the degradation of autophagosomal contents. However, in response to ...

Cells have sophisticated methods of sensing stimuli and communicating with nearby cells in response to these stimuli. For example, macrophages can sense environmental stimuli—tissue damage, foreign ...

Gram-negative bacteria deploy a suite of dedicated secretion pathways to traverse their dual-membrane envelope and deliver proteins critical for nutrient acquisition, environmental adaptation and ...

Bacterial interaction with plants and animals, symbiotic or pathogenic, involves the transfer to host cells and tissues of a range of bacterial proteins whose biochemical activities are key to ...

Intracellular protein trafficking and secretion of proteins into the extracellular environment are sequential and tightly regulated processes in eukaryotic cells. Conventionally, proteins that are ...

A group of international researchers reports the availability of a new “map”’ of every gene, protein, and metabolic pathway required for a cell to efficiently secrete recombinant proteins. The team, ...

When cells utilize glucose as a carbon source, the HBP functions normally, maintaining intracellular O-GlcNAcylation at a high level. In this state, O-GlcNAc-modified SNAP25 stabilizes its interaction ...

Peptides have gradually emerged as some of the most intriguing molecular tools in contemporary biochemical research. Their constructional versatility, small size, and potential to interact with highly ...
