AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The plant cell wall, plasma membrane and cytoskeleton exist as a cell surface continuum. This interconnection of organelles forms the interface between the plant cell and the external environment and is important for detecting the presence of a diverse range of stimuli. A plethora of plasma membrane microdomains with putative roles in membrane localized enzymatic or signalling processes have been described. While regulation of cell wall composition is defined by proteins within the plasma membrane, the cell wall has been shown to have an anchoring role on plasma membrane proteins which affects their lateral mobility. This interplay between plasma membrane and cell wall components is necessary for plasma membrane microdomain function. Actin and microtubule cytoskeletons are also involved in maintenance and function of the cell surface continuum. Investigation of the interactions between organellar components of this mechanism are important if we are to understand how cells respond to external signals.

Nanoparticles have been of significant interest in various biomedical domains such as drug delivery, gene delivery, cytotoxicity analysis, and imaging. Despite the synthesis of a variety of nanoparticles, their cellular uptake efficiency remains a substantial obstacle, with only a small fraction of delivered nanoparticles (NPs) have been reported to traverse the cell membrane within 24 h. Consequently, higher doses are often necessitated, leading to increased toxicity concerns.

In eukaryotic cells, autophagosomes are double-membrane vesicles that are highly mobile and traffic along cytoskeletal tracks. While core autophagy-related proteins (ATGs) and other regulators involved in autophagosome biogenesis in plants have been extensively studied, the specific components regulating plant autophagosome motility remain elusive. In this study, using TurboID-based proximity labelling, we identify the retromer subcomplex comprising sorting nexin 1 (SNX1), SNX2a, and SNX2b as interacting partners of ATG8.

Tetracycline (TC) antibiotics are one of the class of drugs widely used in clinical practice but also constitute a significant environmental concern. However, the adverse effects of TC on non-target organisms have not been well studied. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of exposure to high levels of TC on thalli of lichens to determine the impact on (1) physiological parameters including integrity of cell membranes, photosynthetic efficiency and viability, (2) oxidative stress response such as membrane lipid peroxidation, and (3) enzymatic antioxidant activities as catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR).

Transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1) is a widely expressed mechanosensitive ion channel located within the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, crucial for refilling depleted internal calcium stores during activation of calcium-dependent signaling pathways. Here, we demonstrate that TRPC1 activity is protective within cartilage homeostasis in the prevention of cellular senescence associated cartilage breakdown during mechanical and inflammatory challenge. We reveal that TRPC1 loss is associated with early stages of osteoarthritis (OA) and plays a non-redundant role in calcium signaling in chondrocytes.

The initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) are intimately associated with genetic, environmental and biological factors. (DSV), a sulfate-reducing bacterium, has been found excessive growth in CRC patients, suggesting a potential role in carcinogenesis. However, the precise mechanisms underlying this association remain incompletely understood.
