Article Abstract
The ESCRT machinery functions in several important eukaryotic cellular processes. The AAA-ATPase Vps4 catalyzes disassembly of the ESCRT-III complex and may regulate membrane deformation and vesicle scission as well. Ist1 was proposed to be a regulator of Vps4, but its mechanism of action was unclear. The crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of Ist1 (Ist1NTD) reveals an ESCRT-III subunit-like fold, implicating Ist1 as a divergent ESCRT-III family member. Ist1NTD specifically binds to the ESCRT-III subunit Did2, and cocrystallization of Ist1NTD with a Did2 fragment shows that Ist1 interacts with the Did2 C-terminal MIM1 (MIT-interacting motif 1) via a novel MIM-binding structural motif. This arrangement indicates a mechanism for intermolecular ESCRT-III subunit association and may also suggest one form of ESCRT-III subunit autoinhibition via intramolecular interaction.

Intracellular multivesicular bodies (MVBs) act as sites of assembly and release of HIV type 1 (HIV-1) in macrophages and microglia. Recent work has shown that processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) into a C-terminal fragment (CTF), termed C99, inhibits HIV-1 access to CD63+ MVBs and to counteract this, HIV-1 Group-specific antigen (Gag) increases C99 processing into toxic amyloids. However, the underlying reasons for this negative interplay between Gag and C99 remain unclear.

Purpose: Pituitary adenomas (PAs) constitute a rare pediatric diagnosis and their pathogenetic mechanisms are not clearly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of genetic defects in pediatric PAs through germline and tumor testing, and to describe genotype-phenotype correlations.
Methods: Fifty-four pediatric patients with PAs and available germline and/or tumor samples were studied.

Human pathogenic filarial nematodes of the family Onchocercidae, including and cause debilitating filarial diseases such as lymphatic filariasis and river blindness. These mosquito-borne pathogens are obligately colonized by the gram-negative intracellular alphaproteobacterium, which is essential for nematode sexual reproduction, long-term survival, and pathogenicity in the mammalian host. Like many intracellular bacteria, likely uses numerous surface-exposed and secreted effector proteins to regulate its ability to persist and replicate within nematode host cells.

Background: VPS37A (VPS37A subunit of ESCRT-I), a component of the ESCRT-I (endosomal sorting complex required for transport I) complex, mediates vesicular trafficking through sorting endocytic ubiquitinated cargos into multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Although accumulating evidence indicates that VPS37A deficiency occurs in numerous malignancies and exerts tumor-suppressive effects during cancer progression, its functional significance in colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis remains poorly characterized. Therefore, this study aims to further investigate the functional and molecular mechanisms by which VPS37A downregulation contributes to malignant biological phenotypes in CRC, with a specific focus on how its dysregulation affects cell death pathways.

Deficits in the autophagy-lysosomal pathway facilitate intracellular microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT) accumulation in Alzheimer disease (AD). Aerobic exercise (AE) has been recommended as a way to delay and treat AD, but the exact effects and mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Here, we found that AE (8-week treadmill running, 40 min/day, 5 days/week) alleviated autophagy-lysosomal defects and MAPT pathology through the activation of β2-adrenergic receptors (β2-AR) in MAPT P301L mice.
