These fundamental findings offer a novel mechanism by which rubrerythrin tubules encapsulate encapsulin to prevent oxidative stress in Pyrococcus furiosus. However, there are a few reasonable concerns ...

Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the ...

Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the membrane proteins myoferlin and dysferlin using high-resolution cryo-electron ...

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

Researchers have identified how autophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) drive the unconventional secretion of PARK7, ...

Mitochondria Are More Than Powerhouses—They’re the Motherboard of the Cell ...

Seed plants, such as soybeans, store large amounts of protein in specialized organelles called protein storage vacuoles. These proteins not only sustain seedling growth but also serve as a major ...

It’s a protein ... a key regulator of mitochondrial fusion, the team discovered. Without it, then, the network of fused-together mitochondria inside our cells collapses, making them less ...

In Molecular Cell Prof. Li Dong's group from the ... pathway in which aberrant phase separation of a fusion protein drives ER membrane remodeling and nuclear signaling. The findings not only ...

Since it was known that women with obesity have elevated levels of Mitch, the researchers postulated that this protein is vital not only for mitochondrial fusion but also for fat cell ...

Ebola viruses (EBOVs) assemble into filamentous virions, whose shape and stability are determined by the matrix viral protein 40 (VP40). Virus entry into host cells occurs via membrane fusion in late ...

which can then be reused elsewhere in the cell. Autophagy fusion is mediated by three members of the SNARE protein family; syntaxin17 and SNAP29 are initially found in the cytosol before being ...
