EhVps35, a retromer component, is involved in the recycling of the EhADH and Gal/GalNac virulent proteins of .

The retromer is a highly conserved eukaryotic complex formed by the cargo selective complex (CSC) and the sorting nexin (SNX) dimer subcomplexes. Its function is protein recycling and recovery from the endosomes to conduct the target molecules to the trans-Golgi network or the plasma membrane. The protozoan responsible for human amoebiasis, , exhibits an active membrane movement and voracious phagocytosis, events in which the retromer may be fully involved.

Evidence of oxidative stress in the soft coral Pinnigorgia flava (Nutting, 1910) exposed to secondary plastic nanofibers and related leachates.

Awareness of plastic pollution in marine habitats, such as coral reefs, has grown in recent years. Several studies have shown that tiny particles resulting from plastic breakdown, especially microplastics, can potentially harm corals. However, to date, there is very little evidence regarding the impact that nanoplastics (<1 μm) can have on the physiology and health of corals, particularly soft corals.

EhVps35, a retromer component, is a key factor in secretion, motility, and tissue invasion by .

In humans and , the functional convergence of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery that is in charge of selecting ubiquitinated proteins for sorting into multivesicular bodies, and the retromer, that is the complex responsible for protein recycling to the plasma membrane and Golgi apparatus. ESCRT and retromer complexes are codependent for protein sorting recycling, degradation, and secretion. In this article, we studied the EhVps35 C isoform (referred to as EhVps35), that is the central member of the retromer, and its relation with the ESCRT machinery during sorting and protein recycling events and their involvement virulence.

Unveiling the nutritional spectrum: A comprehensive analysis of protein quality and antinutritional factors in three varieties of quinoa ( Wild).

Quinoa () is renowned for its high protein content and balanced amino acid profile. Despite promising protein characteristics, plant-based sources usually possess antinutritional factors (ANFs). This study aimed to analyze the nutritional and ANFs composition of three quinoa varieties (Black, Yellow, and Red), and assessed the protein quality.
