Article Abstract

Pharmacological approaches have made a tremendous impact on the field of microbial secretion systems. This protocol describes the inhibition of Golgi-dependent secretion in Magnaporthe oryzae though brefeldin A (BFA) treatment. State-of-the-art live-cell imaging allows tracking secreted proteins in their secretion pathways. Here we applied this protocol for defining the secretion systems of two fluorescently labeled effectors, Bas4 (apoplastic) and Pwl2 (cytoplasmic). Secretion of Bas4 is clearly inhibited by brefeldin A (BFA), indicating its Golgi-dependent secretion pathway. By contrast, secretion of Pwl2 is BFA insensitive and follows a nonconventional secretion pathway that is Snare and Exocyst dependent. The protocol is suitable to other plant-microbial systems and in vitro secreted microbial proteins.

S-nitrosylation of pVHL regulates β adrenergic receptor function.

The β-adrenergic receptor (βAR), a prototype G protein-coupled receptor, controls cardiopulmonary function underpinning O delivery. Abundance of the βAR is canonically regulated by G protein-coupled receptor kinases and β-arrestins, but neither controls constitutive receptor levels, which are dependent on ambient O. Basal βAR expression is instead regulated by the prolyl hydroxylase/pVHL-E3 ubiquitin ligase system, explaining O responsivity.

Marine-derived enzymes often show distinct physiological properties and great potential for industrial use. Salt ions may improve the stability and expression efficiency of marine enzymes, which requires salt-resistant host based expression platform. Aspergillus oryzae of good protein expression and secretion was evaluated and explored for this purpose.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3 are closely associated with breast cancer progression and apoptosis regulation, respectively. NPY receptors (NPYRs), which are overexpressed in breast tumors, contribute to tumor growth, migration, and angiogenesis.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The tumor microenvironment (TME), particularly the interactions between endothelial cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), plays a pivotal role in promoting tumor growth, angiogenesis, oxidative stress, and therapy resistance. The HUVEC-fibroblast co-culture model closely mimics stromal-endothelial interactions observed in CRC, enabling mechanistic insights not achievable in monocultures.
