Tespa1 is a novel component of mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes and affects mitochondrial calcium flux.
Regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration is critical in numerous biological processes. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) functions as the Ca(2+) release channel on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes. Much attention has been dedicated to mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake via mitochondria-associated ER membranes (MAM) which is involved in intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis; however, ...
متن کاملMitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes in insulin signaling.
Hepatic insulin resistance is a key feature of type 2 diabetes, and the consequent dysregulation of glucose and lipid output from the liver are important contributors to the observed hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. While excessive lipid accumulation (1) and defective signaling by protein kinase C (2) have been implicated in the past, the full panoply of molecular mechanisms involved is still ...
متن کاملMitochondria-Associated Endoplasmic Reticulum Membranes Microenvironment: Targeting Autophagic and Apoptotic Pathways in Cancer Therapy
Autophagy is a tightly regulated catabolic pathway that terminates in the lysosomal compartment after the formation of a cytoplasmic vacuole that engulfs macromolecules and organelles. Notably, autophagy is associated with several human pathophysiological conditions, playing either a cytoprotective or cytopathic role. Many studies have investigated the role of autophagy in cancer. However, whet...
متن کاملIncreased association between rough endoplasmic reticulum membranes and mitochondria in transgenic mice that express P301L tau.
In several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer disease, the neuronal microtubule-associated protein tau becomes hyperphosphorylated, accumulates in the somatodendritic compartment, and aggregates into insoluble filaments. The consequences of the accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau in the somatodendritic compartment remain poorly characterized at the early stage of disease before...
متن کاملOncogenic and oncosuppressive signal transduction at mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes
The different mechanisms employed by proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressors to regulate cell death pathways are strictly linked to their localization. In addition to the canonical control of apoptosis at a transcriptional/nuclear level, intracellular zones are emerging as pivotal sites for the activities of several proapoptotic and antiapoptotic factors. Here, we review the function of the endop...
