In the conserved autophagy pathway, autophagosomes (APs) engulf cellular components and deliver them to lysosome for degradation. Before fusing with lysosome, APs have close via an unknown mechanism. We previously shown that endocytic Rab5-GTPase regulates AP closure. Therefore, we asked whether ESCRT, which catalyzes scission of vesicles into late endosomes, mediates topologically similar process sealing. Here, show depletion representative subunits from all ESCRT complexes causes defects...

Abstract Construction of bifunctional catalysts with balanced adsorption toward multiple reactants and intermediates is crucial for efficient urea‐assisted water splitting. Nickel Sulfide (NiS) considered as a promising choice both urea oxidation reaction (UOR) hydrogen evolution (HER), whereas the highly occupied d orbital Ni sites results in too weak reactant to achieve satisfactory bifunctionality. Herein, considering adsorption‐energy scaling limitations, another Mo 4+ site empty...

During metastasis, cancer cells are exposed to potentially destructive hemodynamic forces including fluid shear stress (FSS) while en route distant sites. However, prior work indicates that more resistant brief pulses of high-level FSS in vitro relative non-transformed epithelial cells. Herein, we identify a mechano-adaptive mechanism resistance Our findings demonstrate activate RhoA response FSS, which protects them from FSS-induced plasma membrane damage. We show freshly isolated mouse and...

The outermost surface of wool is covered by a scale layer, posing challenges to some steps fabric processing. This primarily composed keratin, resists degradation conventional proteases due its high disulfide bond content. Protease K, an extracellular serine endo-proteinase derived from Tritirachium album Limber (tPRK), known for ability digest native keratin. However, limited activity against keratin has restricted application in layer treatment. In this study, the substrate-binding pocket...

Patients with malignant melanoma have a five‐year survival rate of only 15–20% once the tumor has metastasized to distant tissues. While MAP kinase pathway inhibitors (MAPKi) are initially effective for majority patients harboring BRAFV600E mutation, over 90% relapse within two years. Thus, there is critical need understanding MAPKi resistance mechanisms. In this manuscript, we performed forward genetic screen using whole genome shRNA library identify negative regulators vemurafenib...

It is proposed that a progressive series of mutations and epigenetic events leads to human colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis. Furthermore, data from resequencing the coding regions CRC suggests relatively large number occur in individual CRC, most at low frequency. The functional role these low-frequency specifically how they may cooperate with high-frequency mutations, not well understood. One common rate-limiting occurs adenomatous polyposis coli ( APC ) gene. To identify mutant , we...
