DHHC17 Palmitoylates ClipR-59 and Modulates ClipR-59 Association with the Plasma Membrane

ClipR-59 interacts with Akt and regulates Akt cellular compartmentalization.

Akt is activated on the plasma membrane and its substrates are distributed throughout various cellular compartments. To phosphorylate its substrates, Akt needs to be recruited to specific intracellular compartments. Thus, regulation of Akt cellular compartmentalization constitutes an important mechanism to specify Akt signaling. Here, we report the identification of ClipR-59 as an Akt interacti...

Role of GD3-CLIPR-59 Association in Lymphoblastoid T Cell Apoptosis Triggered by CD95/Fas

We previously found that a directional movement of the raft component GD3 towards mitochondria, by its association with microtubules, was mandatory to late apoptogenic events triggered by CD95/Fas. Since CLIPR-59, CLIP-170-related protein, has recently been identified as a microtubule binding protein associated with lipid rafts, we analyzed the role of GD3-CLIPR-59 association in lymphoblastoid...

CLIPR-59, a new trans-Golgi/TGN cytoplasmic linker protein belonging to the CLIP-170 family

The microtubule cytoskeleton plays a fundamental role in cell organization and membrane traffic in higher eukaryotes. It is well established that molecular motors are involved in membrane-microtubule interactions, but it has also been proposed that nonmotor microtubule-binding (MTB) proteins known as CLIPs (cytoplasmic linker proteins) have basic roles in these processes. We report here the cha...

CLIPR-59: a protein essential for neuromuscular junction stability during mouse late embryonic development.

CLIPR-59 is a new member of the cytoplasmic linker proteins (CLIP) family mainly localized to the trans-Golgi network. We show here that Clipr-59 expression in mice is restricted to specific pools of neurons, in particular motoneurons (MNs), and progressively increases from embryonic day 12.5 (E12.5) until the first postnatal days. We generated a Clipr-59 knockout mouse model that presents peri...
