PAT proteins, an ancient family of lipid droplet proteins that regulate cellular lipid stores.
The PAT family of lipid droplet proteins includes 5 members in mammals: perilipin, adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP), tail-interacting protein of 47 kDa (TIP47), S3-12, and OXPAT. Members of this family are also present in evolutionarily distant organisms, including insects, slime molds and fungi. All PAT proteins share sequence similarity and the ability to bind intracellular lipi...
متن کاملIdentifying Host Factors That Regulate Viral Infection
One goal of virology research is to identify viral and host factors involved in infection, in order to develop antiviral therapies. Drugs targeting viral proteins have certain key disadvantages. They often affect only a specific viral species or subtype. Also, the low-fidelity polymerases of many medically important viruses, including HIV and influenza, make them prone to rapid mutations, leadi...
متن کاملRag proteins regulate amino-acid-induced mTORC1 signalling.
The serum- and nutrient-sensitive protein kinase mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) is a master regulator of cell growth and survival. The mechanisms through which nutrients regulate mTOR have been one of the major unanswered questions in the mTOR field. Identification of the Rag (Ras-related GTPase) family of GTPases as mediators of amino acid signalling to mTOR is an important step towards ...
متن کاملSignalling pathways that regulate endothelial differentiation from stem cells.
Endothelial cells play a vital role in the human vascular system. Injury to this layer of cells can lead to devastating consequences and eventually mortality. As demonstrated by recent accumulating evidences, the injured endothelial layer can be rescued by endothelial cell-based therapy. However, the limited source of functional endothelial cells which can be used in clinical surgery, is hugely...
متن کاملCellular and viral factors regulate the varicella-zoster virus gE promoter during viral replication.
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) glycoprotein E (gE) is essential for viral replication and is involved in cell-to-cell spread, secondary envelopment, and entry. We created a set of mutations in the gE promoter to investigate the role of viral and cellular transcriptional factors in regulation of the gE promoter. Deletion or point mutation of the two Sp1 sites in the gE promoter abolished Sp1 bindi...
