Cellular stress induced by the abnormal accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is emerging as a possible driver of human diseases, including cancer, diabetes, obesity and neurodegeneration. ER proteostasis surveillance is mediated by the unfolded protein response...
The sorting of soluble secretory proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi complex is mediated by coat protein complex II (COPII) vesicles and thought to required specific ER membrane cargo-receptor proteins. However, these receptors rema
Functional characterization of these proteins suggests a role in stereocilia development in cochlear hair cells, likely owing to adhesive interactions in hair bundles. In mature hair cells, homodimers of the Usher cadherins, cadherin 23 and protocadherin 15, interact to form a structural fiber, the...
An essential protein regulatory system in cells is the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. The substrate is modified by the ubiquitin ligase system (E1-E2-E3) in this pathway, which is a dynamic protein bidirectional modification regulation system. Deubiquitin

In humans, red blood cells make up 40-45% of the total blood volume, and they are what gives blood its distinctive dark red color. In blood, red blood cells are suspended in a liquid calledplasmathat contains many types of proteins, along with smaller amounts of salts, sugars, fats, ...
Complex organic food molecules such as sugars, fats, and proteins are rich sources of energy for cells because much of the energy used to form these molecules is literally stored within the chemical bonds that hold them together. Scientists can measure the amount of energy stored in foods using...
In NK cells, NKG2D signaling is sufficient to unleash the killing response; in CD8+T cells, this requires concurrent activation of the T-cell receptor (TCR). In this case, the function of NKG2D is to authenticate the recognition of a stressed target and enhance TCR signaling. CD28 has been...
Exposed to short-term microgravity during parabolic flight, Arabidopsis thaliana cells react by up-regulating Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)-related and Ca2+ -related proteins [13], and similar results were also reported during simulated microgravity experiments [14]. In addition, simulated and real ...
