RABIF/MSS4 is a Rab-stabilizing holdase chaperone required for GLUT4 exocytosis.
Rab GTPases are switched from their GDP-bound inactive conformation to a GTP-bound active state by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). The first putative GEFs isolated for Rabs are RABIF (Rab-interacting factor)/MSS4 (mammalian suppressor of Sec4) and its yeast homolog DSS4 (dominant suppressor of Sec4). However, the biological function and molecular mechanism of these molecules remaine...
متن کاملTunneling nanotube formation is stimulated by hypoxia in ovarian cancer cells
In this study, we demonstrated that hypoxic conditions stimulated an increase in tunneling nanotube (TNT) formation in chemoresistant ovarian cancer cells (SKOV3, C200).We found that suppressing the mTOR pathway using either everolimus or metformin led to suppression of TNT formation in vitro, verifying TNTs as a potential target for cancer-directed therapy. Additionally, TNT formation was dete...
متن کاملThe vacuolar transporter chaperone (VTC) complex is required for microautophagy.
Microautophagy involves direct invagination and fission of the vacuolar/lysosomal membrane under nutrient limitation. This occurs by an autophagic tube, a specialized vacuolar membrane invagination that pinches off vesicles into the vacuolar lumen. In this study we have identified the VTC (vacuolar transporter chaperone) complex as required for microautophagy. The VTC complex is present on the ...
متن کاملDrosophila Tubulin-specific chaperone E functions at neuromuscular synapses and is required for microtubule network formation.
Hypoparathyroidism, mental retardation and facial dysmorphism (HRD) is a fatal developmental disease caused by mutations in tubulin-specific chaperone E (TBCE). A mouse Tbce mutation causes progressive motor neuronopathy. To dissect the functions of TBCE and the pathogenesis of HRD, we generated mutations in Drosophila tbce, and manipulated its expression in a tissue-specific manner. Drosophila...
متن کاملTunneling nanotube (TNT) formation is downregulated by cytarabine and NF-κB inhibition in acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a bone marrow derived blood cancer where intercellular communication in the leukemic bone marrow participates in disease development, progression and chemoresistance. Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are intercellular communication structures involved in transport of cellular contents and pathogens, also demonstrated to play a role in both cell death modulation and che...
