The ghost in the machine: small GTPases as spatial regulators of exocytosis.

Trends in Cell Biology
Hao WuPatrick Brennwald

Abstract

Temporal and spatial regulation of membrane-trafficking events is crucial to both membrane identity and overall cell polarity. Small GTPases of the Rab, Ral and Rho protein families have been implicated as important regulators of vesicle docking and fusion events. This review focuses on how these GTPases interact with the exocyst complex, which is a multisubunit tethering complex involved in the regulation of cell-surface transport and cell polarity. The Rab and Ral GTPases are thought to function in exocyst assembly and vesicle-tethering processes, whereas the Rho family GTPases seem to function in the local activation of the exocyst complex to facilitate downstream vesicle-fusion events. The localized activation of the exocyst by Rho GTPases is likely to have an important role in spatial regulation of exocytosis.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
