... the structural component Nup98 and found that nucleo-cytoplasmic transport by NPCs remains largely intact. Under this condition, several phenylalanine-glycine-rich Nups (FG-Nups) no longer assemble at the nuclear envelope but instead accumulate at discrete puncta in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which we term...

..., the contribution of intracellular membranes has been long neglected. Recently, it has become evident that various organelles play active roles in both mechanosensing and mechanotransduction. In this Review, we focus on mechanosensitive roles of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the functions of which are crucial...

... infection and protein quality control. How SPP recognizes its various substrates and specifies their fate remains elusive. Here, we identify the lanosterol demethylase CYP51A1 as an SPP substrate and show that SPP-catalysed cleavage triggers CYP51A1 clearance by endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation...

... transport is largely unexplored. To elucidate whether LIMP-2 is present at contact sites between lysosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), we performed a proximity-based interaction screen. This revealed that LIMP-2 interacts with the endosomal protein STARD3 and the ER-resident protein VAPB. Using...

The importance and maintenance of ER structure and function have been extensively studied in interphase cells, yet recent findings also indicate...

... either to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or to the Golgi apparatus. However, the basis for differential sorting to the ER and to the Golgi apparatus remained unclear. To clarify this point, we quantitatively analyzed the intracellular targeting of a collection of proteins exhibiting a single TMD. Our...

...Peace Atakpa-Adaji; Adelina Ivanova; Karolina Kujawa; Colin W. Taylor ABSTRACT Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP 3) receptors (IP 3 Rs) are high-conductance channels that allow the regulated redistribution of Ca 2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cytosol and, at specialized membrane...

... expressing an mCherry–GFP-tagged Atg8a transgene exhibited aberrant persistence of the GFP signal within these aggregates, indicating failure of autophagosome maturation. These autophagy deficits were similar to those exhibited by loss of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fusion protein Atlastin (Atl), raising...

Myo19-driven fragmentation was blocked by depletion of either the CAAX splice variant of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-anchored formin INF2 or the mitochondrially localized F-actin nucleator Spire1C (a splice...

... and HIG2 are targeted to LDs, and identify both ATGL-independent and -dependent mechanisms. Structural prediction and studies in cells reveal that ATGL-independent localization of G0S2 to both the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and LDs is mediated by a hairpin structure consisting of two hydrophobic sequences...

In mammals, acetyl-CoA transporter 1 (AT1, also known as SLC33A1) facilitates the flux of cytosolic acetyl-CoA into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), enabling the acetylation of proteins of the secretory pathway, in concert with the activity of dedicated acetyltransferases...

... frontotemporal dementia (ALS/FTD). Many of these changes can be linked to alterations in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–mitochondria signaling, including dysregulation of Ca 2+ signaling, autophagy, lipid metabolism, ATP production, axonal transport, ER stress responses and synaptic dysfunction.
