Cerebellar LTD requires activation of PKC and is expressed, at least in part, as postsynaptic AMPA receptor internalization. Recently, it was shown that AMPA receptor internalization requires clathrin-mediated endocytosis and depends upon the carboxy-terminal region of GluR2/3. Phosphorylation of Ser-880 in this region by PKC differentially regulates the binding of the PDZ domain-containing proteins GRIP/ABP and PICK1. Peptides, corresponding to the phosphorylated and dephosphorylated GluR2 carboxy-terminal PDZ binding motif, were perfused in cerebellar Purkinje cells grown in culture. Both the dephospho form (which blocks binding of GRIP/ABP and PICK1) and the phospho form (which selectively blocks PICK1) attenuated LTD induction by glutamate/depolarization pairing, as did antibodies directed against the PDZ domain of PICK1. These findings indicate that expression of cerebellar LTD requires PKC-regulated interactions between the carboxy-terminal of GluR2/3 and PDZ domain-containing proteins.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and their combination with other therapies such as chemotherapy, fail in most cancer patients. We previously identified the PDZ-LIM domain-containing protein 2 (PDLIM2) as a bona fide tumor suppressor that is repressed in lung cancer to drive cancer and its chemo and immunotherapy resistance, suggesting a new target for lung cancer therapy improvement. In this study, human clinical samples and data were used to investigate genetic and epigenetic changes in lung cancer.

Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) is a crucial regulator of dendritic structure and neuronal function, orchestrating diverse protein interactions within the microtubule network. We have shown MAP2 is hyperphosphorylated at serine 1782 (S1782) in schizophrenia and phosphomimetic mutation of S1782 in mice (MAP2) is sufficient to impair dendritic architecture. We sought to determine how this hyperphosphorylation affects the MAP2 interactome to provide insights into the disorder's mechanisms.

Hippo pathway is an evolutionarily conservative key pathway that regulates organ size and tissue regeneration by regulating cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP)/ WW domain-containing transcription regulator 1 (TAZ) serves as a pivotal transcription factor within the Hippo signaling pathway, which undergoes negative regulation by the Hippo pathway. The expression of YAP/TAZ affects various biological processes, including differentiation of osteoblasts (OB) and osteoclasts (OC), cartilage homeostasis, skeletal muscle development, regeneration and quality maintenance.

Article Synopsis
  • The scavenger receptor SR-BI has two variants, both of which help transport HDL and LDL lipoproteins through endothelial cells, but they differ in their cellular behavior and localization.
  • The variant SR-BI is found on the cell surface and associates with clathrin, while the other variant is internalized within endosomes and lysosomes, indicating distinct trafficking routes.
  • Silencing proteins PDZK1 and DOCK4 selectively impacts HDL and LDL uptake, revealing that each SR-BI variant uses different mechanisms for lipoprotein uptake in endothelial cells.
