The 14-3-3 protein, a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) marker of neuronal damage that was recently adopted for the diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, is also found in the CSF of patients with a variety of neurological disorders. We prospectively studied 12 consecutive patients with purulent bacterial meningitis and found that 14-3-3 protein was detected in all patients at admission to the hospital. All patients who recovered cleared 14-3-3 protein from the CSF before discharge from the hospital (this was the first CSF marker to clear), whereas those who died never cleared the protein.

Protein-protein interactions involving 14-3-3 proteins regulate various cellular activities in normal and pathological conditions. These interactions have mostly been reported to be phosphorylation-dependent, but the 14-3-3 proteins also interact with unphosphorylated proteins. In this work, we investigated whether phosphorylation is required, or, alternatively, whether negative charges are sufficient for 14-3-3ε binding.

NHSL3 controls single and collective cell migration through two distinct mechanisms.

Nat Commun

Laboratory of Structural Biology of the Cell (BIOC), CNRS UMR7654, École Polytechnique, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, Palaiseau, France.

The molecular mechanisms underlying cell migration remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that knock-out cells for NHSL3, the most recently identified member of the Nance-Horan Syndrome family, are more persistent than parental cells in single cell migration, but that, in wound healing, follower cells are impaired in their ability to follow leader cells. The NHSL3 locus encodes several isoforms.

The subcellular localization of Yes-associated protein (YAP) is dynamically regulated by post-transcriptional modifications, critically influencing cardiac function. Despite its significance, the precise mechanism controlling YAP nuclear sequestration and its role in cardiac hypertrophy remain poorly defined. In this study, utilizing immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry, we identified potential acetylation sites and interacting proteins of YAP.

Coccolithophores comprise a major component of the oceanic carbon cycle. These unicellular algae produce ornate structures made of calcium carbonate, termed coccoliths, representing ~ 50% of calcite production in the open ocean. The exact molecular mechanisms which direct and control coccolith formation are unknown.
