Cilia and flagella are eukaryotic organelles involved in multiple cellular functions. The primary cilium is generally non motile found numerous vertebrate cell types where it controls key signalling pathways. Despite a common architecture, ultrastructural data suggest some differences their organisation. Here, we report the first detailed characterisation of ciliary pocket, depression plasma membrane which rooted. This structure at low frequency kidney epithelial cells (IMCD3) but associated...

Significance Viral-like nanovesicles of endosomal origin, or “exosomes,” are newly recognized vehicles signals that cells use to communicate, in various systemic diseases, including cancer. Yet the molecular mechanisms regulate biogenesis and activity exosomes remain obscure. Here, we establish oncogenic protein SRC stimulates secretion loaded with syntenin syndecans, known co-receptors for a plethora signaling adhesion molecules. phosphorylates conserved tyrosine residues syndecans their...

Exosomes, extracellular vesicles (EVs) of endosomal origin, emerge as master regulators cell-to-cell signaling in physiology and disease. Exosomes are highly enriched tetraspanins (TSPNs) syndecans (SDCs), the latter occurring mainly proteolytically cleaved form, membrane-spanning C-terminal fragments proteins. While both protein families membrane scaffolds appreciated for their role exosome formation, composition, activity, we currently ignore whether these work together to control biology....

Arl13b belongs to the ADP-ribosylation factor family within Ras superfamily of regulatory GTPases. Mutations in cause Joubert syndrome, which is characterized by congenital cerebellar ataxia, hypotonia, oculomotor apraxia, and mental retardation. highly enriched cilia required for ciliogenesis multiple organs. Nevertheless, precise role remains elusive. Here we report that exocyst subunits Sec8, Exo70, Sec5 bind preferentially GTP-bound form Arl13b, consistent with being an effector Arl13b....

Abstract Exosomes support cell‐to‐cell communication in physiology and disease, including cancer. We currently lack tools, such as small chemicals, capable of modifying exosome composition activity a specific manner.

Clathrin adaptor (AP) complexes facilitate membrane trafficking between subcellular compartments. One such compartment is the cilium, whose dysfunction underlies disorders classified as ciliopathies. Although AP-1mu subunit (UNC-101) linked to cilium formation and targeting of transmembrane proteins (ODR-10) nematode sensory cilia at distal dendrite tips, these functions remain poorly understood. Here, using Caenorhabditis elegans neurons mammalian cell culture models, we find conservation...

Background The primary cilium is a sensory organelle generated from the centrosome in quiescent cells and found at surface of most cell types, where it controls important physiological processes. Specific sets membrane proteins involved sensing extracellular milieu are concentrated within cilia, including G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Most GPCRs regulated by β-arrestins, βarr1 βarr2, which control both their signalling endocytosis, suggesting that βarrs may also function cilium....

The scaffold protein syntenin abounds during fetal life where it is important for developmental movements. In human adulthood, gain-of-function increasingly associated with various cancers and poor prognosis. Depending on the cancer model analyzed, affects signaling pathways. We previously have shown that allows syndecan heparan sulfate proteoglycans to escape degradation. This indicates has potential support sustained of a plethora growth factors adhesion molecules.

Syntenin has crucial roles in cell adhesion, migration and synaptic transmission. Its closely linked postsynaptic density-95, discs large 1, zonula occludens-1 (PDZ) domains typically interact with C-terminal ligands. We profile syntenin PDZ1-2 through proteomic peptide phage display (ProP-PD) using a library that displays regions of the human proteome. The protein recognizes broad range peptides, preference for hydrophobic motifs tendency to recognize cryptic internal validate interaction...

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles derived from endosomal compartments. The molecular mechanisms supporting the biology of exosomes, their biogenesis to internalization by target cells, rely on 'dedicated' membrane proteins. These action need be further clarified. This will help better understand how exosome composition and heterogeneity established. would also rationalize use as source biomarkers therapeutic tools.
