  • This study shows that Schip1 , a Drosophila homolog of the mammalian Schwannomin interacting protein 1 (SCHIP1), provides a link between Ex and Hpo. (sdbonline.org)
  • Orthologous to human NAPA (NSF attachment protein alpha). (nih.gov)
  • A total of 257 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified by iTRAQ, which provided a comprehensive overview on the functional protein profile changes of tuber development regulated by JA. (biomedcentral.com)
  • A beta-hairpin comprising the nuclear localization sequence sustains the self-associated states of nucleosome assembly protein 1. (colorado.edu)
  • And, a large number of protein biosynthesis, degradation and assembly-related were up-regulated by JA to promote tuber protein biosynthesis and maintain strict protein quality control during tuber development. (biomedcentral.com)
  • It was shown (1) that they may assemble to form non-fusogenic complexes acting as interfering-SNAREs or iSNARE (2) as in the case of AtSYP51 and SYP52. (unisalento.it)
  • Major recent advances and previous data have led to a plausible model of how key proteins mediate neurotransmitter release. (elsevierpure.com)
  • They went on to show that mutations in any protien subunit of BLOC‑2 result in inefficient delivery of melanin synthesizing proteins to maturing melanosomes and thus failure in production of the melanin pigment. (indiabioscience.org)
  • Altogether, our results demonstrate that βγ subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins play a critical role in neurite outgrowth and differentiation by interacting with MTs and modulating MT rearrangement. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We focus on zebrafish mutants, in which photoreceptor degeneration is caused by defects in protein synthesis in ER, protein transport from ER to the apical photoreceptive membrane region, and phototransduction. (oist.jp)
  • The relative increase in fluorescence intensity, originating from the added LUVs, compared to the fluorescence intensity emitted from the giant vesicle membrane and planar bilayer patches served as a measure for fusion efficiency. (uni-goettingen.de)
  • The formation of a SNARE complex (composed of one each of the four different types SNARE domains (Qa, Qb, Qc, and R)) mediates MEMBRANE FUSION. (uchicago.edu)
  • SNAREs also interact with several proteins acting as regulators of SNARE-complex formation. (unisalento.it)
  • strongly suggests that at least one regulatory protein should control the SNARE complex formation of VAMP721/722 with a specific Qa-SNARE in a particular biological process in plants. (molcells.org)
  • Some cell wall polysaccharide synthesis and cytoskeleton formation-related proteins were up-regulated by JA to promote tuber cell expansion. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Synuclein may cross-bridge v-SNARE and acidic phospholipids to facilitate SNARE-dependent vesicle docking. (grantome.com)
  • Therefore this study provides a new method to solve the discrepancies and to generalize the functional role of SM proteins. (biomedcentral.com)
  • CAPS function in dense core vesicle docking parallels UNC-13 in synaptic vesicle docking, which suggests that these related proteins act similarly to promote docking of independent vesicle populations. (rupress.org)
  • Conserved salt-bridge competition triggered by phosphorylation regulates the protein interactome. (uchicago.edu)
  • With this powerful new fusion assay, we will dissect how the fusion regulators modulate the individual fusion steps. (grantome.com)
  • We show homotypic fusion and necessary protein sorting (HOPS) binds Vam7 by means of it's subunits Vps16 as well as Vps18. (notes.io)
  • Ovarian cancer (OC) was the primary malignant gynecological cancer and SNARE protein is closely related with tumor progression. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The expression of Insulin and Pancreatic and duodenal homeobox-1 mRNA was significantly reduced in MIPβ1KO islets, along with reductions in insulin exocytotic proteins. (oncotarget.com)
