The proteins of 14-3-3 family are substantially involved in the regulation of many biological processes including the apoptosis. We studied the changes in the expression of five 14-3-3 isoforms (beta, gamma, epsilon, tau, and zeta) during the apoptosis of JURL-MK1 and K562 cells. The expression level of all these proteins markedly decreased in relation with the apoptosis progression and all isoforms underwent truncation, which probably corresponds to the removal of several C-terminal amino acids. The observed 14-3-3 modifications were partially blocked by caspase-3 inhibition. In addition to caspases, a non-caspase protease is likely to contribute to 14-3-3's cleavage in an isoform-specific manner. While 14-3-3 gamma seems to be cleaved mainly by caspase-3, the alternative mechanism is essentially involved in the case of 14-3-3 tau, and a combined effect was observed for the isoforms epsilon, beta, and zeta. We suggest that the processing of 14-3-3 proteins could form an integral part of the programmed cell death or at least of some apoptotic pathways.

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.

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.
