Article Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) modifies the host cell environment to ensure efficient and sustained viral replication. Key to these processes is the capacity of the virus to hijack ATPases, GTPases and the associated proteins that control intracellular protein trafficking. The functions of these energy-harnessing enzymes can be seized by HIV-1 to allow the intracellular transport of viral components within the host cell or to change the subcellular distribution of antiviral factors, leading to immune evasion. Here, we summarize how energy-related proteins deviate from their normal functions in host protein trafficking to aid the virus in different phases of its replicative cycle. Recent discoveries regarding the interplay among HIV-1 and host ATPases and GTPases may shed light on potential targets for pharmacological intervention.

Time-Resolved Crystallography Reveals the Mechanisms of GTP hydrolysis for N-RAS and the Oncogenic Mutants G12C, G12V and Q61L.

The RAS family of small GTPases are molecular switches that convey downstream signals regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The signaling competent GTP-bound RAS transitions to its inactive GDP-bound form through γ-phosphate hydrolysis. Oncogenic RAS mutations hamper GTP hydrolysis and are present in up to 30% of all human cancers.

Objective: To explore the improvement effect of electroacupuncture (EA) based on acupuncture (acupuncture for regaining consciousness and opening orifices) on cognitive impairment in mice with Parkinson's disease (PD), and to explore its regulatory mechanisms on the kinesin family member 5A (KIF5A)/mitochondrial Rho GTPase 1 (Miro1) pathway and mitophagy in prefrontal cortical neurons.
Methods: A total of 70 male C57BL/6J mice of clean grade were randomly divided into a normal group (12 mice), a sham operation group (12 mice), and a model pre-screening group (46 mice). Unilateral stereotaxic injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into the medial forebrain bundle was adopted to establish the PD model in the model pre-screening group.
Dysregulation of GTPase-activating protein-binding protein1 in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) are two common liver disorders characterized by abnormal lipid accumulation. Our study found reduced levels of GTPase-activating protein-binding protein1 (G3BP1) in patients with MASLD and MASH, suggesting its involvement in these liver disorders. Hepatocyte-specific G3BP1 knockout (G3BP1 HKO) male mice had more severe MASLD and MASH than their corresponding controls.

The phosphorylation of Rab10 (pT73-Rab10) by LRRK2 promotes the establishment of epithelial cell polarity by controlling the trafficking to the primary cilia membrane of cilia-resident proteins and signaling proteins. Previous studies have identified a site in the globular tail domain of MYO5A that specifically binds to only the phosphorylated form of Rab10. In this work, we have demonstrated that pT73-Rab10 does not associate with the globular tail of MYO5B.

To navigate complex environments, cells integrate chemical and mechanical cues through dynamic feedback between signaling networks and the cytoskeleton. Using synthetic tools to manipulate cytoskeletal components in Dictyostelium and human neutrophils, we uncover feedback mechanisms that regulate Ras/PI3K signaling and control front- and back-states of the cell. Increased branched actin and actin polymerization enhance Ras/PI3K activity.
