Recent data on the structural and molecular organisation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are reviewed. A special attention is paid to the mechanism of soluble and integral membrane protein translocation across the ER bilayer. A model of phospholipid-coupled polypeptide translocation is introduced served to overcome hydrophobic and (or) conformational constraints during the passage of polar amino acid residues within a polar environment of the ER membrane. In addition the mechanisms of diverse covalent and noncovalent post-translocational polypeptide modifications are considered, together with the process of the sorting events among ER-resident polypeptides and those destined to leave the ER domain for the Golgi apparatus.

Caveolin-1 mitigates the advancement of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease by reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress and pyroptosis through the restoration of cholesterol homeostasis.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, which has the potential to advance to fibrosis. CAV1 has the effects of improving liver lipid deposition in MASLD, however, the potential mechanism is largely unknown. Here, we establish a MASLD mouse model in CAV1 knockout (KO) mice and perform transcriptome analysis on livers from mice to investigate the effects of CAV1 in MASLD progression.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency in cells, is dynamically regulated across different subcellular compartments. The ATP interplay between mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) underscores their coordinated roles in various biochemical processes, highlighting the necessity for precise profiling of subcellular ATP dynamics. Here we present an exogenously and endogenously dual-regulated DNA nanodevice for spatiotemporally selective, subcellular-compartment specific signal amplification in ATP sensing.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a rapid decline in renal function. Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) is one of the main causes of AKI with the underlying mechanism incompletely clarified. The liver X receptors (LXRs), including LXRα and LXRβ, are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily.

Background: Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and the unfolded protein response (UPR) are adaptive mechanisms for conditions of high protein demand, marked by an accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Rheumatic autoimmune diseases (RAD) are known to be associated with chronic inflammation and an ERS state. However, the activation of UPR signaling pathways is not completely understood in Sjögren's disease (SD).

Hippocampal dendritic spines store-operated calcium entry and endoplasmic reticulum content is dynamic microtubule dependent.

Sci Rep

January 2025

One of the mechanisms of calcium signalling in neurons is store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), which is activated when the calcium concentration in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) decreases and its protein-calcium sensor STIM (stromal interacting molecule) relocate to the endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane junctions, forms clusters and induces calcium entry. In electrically non-excitable cells, STIM1 is coupled with the positive end of a tubulin microtubule through interaction with EB1 (end-binding) protein, which controls its oligomerization, SOCE and participates in ER movement. STIM2 homologue, which is specific for mature hippocampal dendritic spines, is known to interact with EB3 protein, however, not much is known about the role of this interaction in STIM2 clustering or ER trafficking in neurons.
