Tanc1/2 TPR domain interacts with Myo18a C-terminus and undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation.

Tanc1 and its homologous protein Tanc2 are critical synaptic scaffold proteins which regulate synaptic spine densities and excitatory synapse strength. Recent studies indicated TANC1 and TANC2 are candidate genes of several neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). In this study, we identified and characterized a novel interaction between Tanc1/2 and Myo18a, mediated by the Tanc1/2 TPR domains and Myo18a coiled-coil domain and C-extension (CCex).

Induction of lysosomal exocytosis and biogenesis via TRPML1 activation for the treatment of uranium-induced nephrotoxicity.

Uranium (U) is a well-known nephrotoxicant which forms precipitates in the lysosomes of renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) after U-exposure at a cytotoxic dose. However, the roles of lysosomes in U decorporation and detoxification remain to be elucidated. Mucolipin transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPML1) is a major lysosomal Ca channel regulating lysosomal exocytosis.

In-situ growth of gold nanoparticles on a 3D-network consisting of a MoS2/rGO nanocomposite for simultaneous voltammetric determination of ascorbic acid, dopamine and uric acid.

A glassy carbon electrode was modified with a 3D-networked nanostructure composed of MoS, reduced graphene oxide and gold nanoparticles (3D-MoS/rGO/Au). The composites were prepared through in-situ growth of gold nanoparticles on 3D-MoS/rGO nanosheets via a hydrothermal method. The morphology and electrochemical features of the composite were investigated.
