1. Selective Autophagy: ATG8 Family Proteins, LIR Motifs and Cargo Receptors

Author:
Johansen, Terje; Lamark, Trond
Source:
Journal of molecular biology 2020 v.432 no.1 pp. 80-103
ISSN:
0022-2836
Subject:
mammals,   etc   ; autophagy; models; receptors;     Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... Selective autophagy relies on soluble or membrane-bound cargo receptors that recognize cargo and bring about autophagosome formation at the cargo. The cargo-bound receptors interact with lipidated ATG8 family proteins anchored in the membrane at the concave side of the forming autophagosome. The interaction is mediated by 15- to 20-amino-acid-long sequence motifs called LC3-interacting region (LIR ...

Abstract:
... Many physiological systems rely on hormones to communicate and time cellular and tissue-level functions. Most endocrine systems are dynamic and governed by complex regulatory systems and/or feedback mechanisms to generate precise patterns and modes of hormone release in order to optimize control of physiological and cellular processes. This Special Issue focuses on hormone release patterns (ultrad ...

Abstract:
... Biodiversity can be represented by different dimensions. While many diversity metrics try to capture the variation of these dimensions they also lead to a ‘fragmentation’ of the concept of biodiversity itself. Developing a unified measure that integrates all the dimensions of biodiversity is a theoretical solution for this problem, however, it remains operationally impossible. Alternatively, under ...

Abstract:
... An increasing number of studies have investigated the diversity of actuarial senescence (i.e. the increase of mortality with age) and mortality patterns in the wild. Most of these studies used maximum longevity as a metric, and only some of them were based on the analysis of mortality or survival curves. However, maximum longevity is not a reliable metric to assess mortality patterns. Two types of ...

Abstract:
... Recently, it has become possible to recapitulate embryonic patterning in vitro using embryonic stem cells. The technical advantages and reduced complexity of these embryoids make them ideally suited to rigorously test long standing paradigms for pattern formation in the mammalian embryo. Here, we discuss insights into the underlying mechanisms that have been gained from stem cell models to date, f ...

Abstract:
... The periodic color motifs such as the spots or stripes that adorn the coat of vertebrates have served as emblematic systems in empirical and theoretical studies of pattern formation, because they vary extensively between taxa but often have conserved orientation and are highly reproducible within species. Two major patterning theories have been proposed, namely instructional signaling, in which po ...

Abstract:
... The highly dynamic nature of chromosome conformation and three-dimensional (3D) genome organization leads to cell-to-cell variability in chromatin interactions within a cell population, even if the cells of the population appear to be functionally homogeneous. Hence, although Hi-C is a powerful tool for mapping 3D genome organization, this heterogeneity of chromosome higher order structure among i ...

Abstract:
... MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are well-studied small noncoding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation in a wide range of organisms, including mammals. Their function is mediated by base pairing with their target RNAs.

Abstract:
... Myosin II molecules in the thick filaments of striated muscle form a structure in which the heads interact with each other and fold back onto the tail. This structure, the “interacting heads motif” (IHM), provides a mechanistic basis for the auto-inhibition of myosin in relaxed thick filaments. Similar IHM interactions occur in single myosin molecules of smooth and nonmuscle cells in the switched- ...

Abstract:
... The metabolic theory of ecology predicts that rates of metabolic processes play a central role in constraining important fitness traits such as home‐range size. Locomotory behaviours are physiologically expensive, yet the relative importance of the animal's energetics in determining their home ranges is unknown. It is tested here whether maintenance costs (BMR; basal metabolic rate), energetic cap ...

Climate change is predicted to impact the dynamics of AIV, particularly in areas such as the Arctic, but the baseline data needed to detect these shifts is often unavailable. In this study, plasma from two species of gulls breeding o ...
