The cycle of nucleotide exchange and hydrolysis by a small GTP-binding protein, ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF), helps to provide vectoriality to vesicle transport. Coat assembly is triggered when ARF binds GTP, initiating transport vesicle budding, and coat disassembly is triggered when ARF hydrolyzes GTP, allowing the uncoated vesicle to fuse.

The discovery of RET mutations in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 2A (MEN2A) in 1993 ignited a revolution in our understanding of this versatile receptor. Since then, RET's influence has expanded to encompass diverse organs, including the pituitary gland. This review explores the multifaceted role of RET in somatotrophs, focusing on two opposing pathways: proliferation versus differentiation and apoptosis.

The Auxin Response Factors (ARFs) family of transcription factors are the central mediators of auxin-triggered transcriptional regulation. Functionally different classes of extant ARFs operate as antagonistic auxin-dependent and -independent regulators. While part of the evolutionary trajectory to the present auxin response functions has been reconstructed, it is unclear how ARFs emerged, and how early diversification led to functionally different proteins.

is the etiologic agent of trichomoniasis, one of the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infections globally. Our previous work reported the role of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphates (PIP) signaling in the actin-dependent pathogenicity of . This study further demonstrated that iron transiently regulated phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase (PI4P5K) proteostasis and its complex formation with an active ADP ribosylation factor Arf220, facilitating co-trafficking to the plasma membrane, crucial for PIP production.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on selecting reliable reference genes (RGs) for reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) in Avena sativa (oats) infected by Blumeria graminis, a major fungal pathogen causing powdery mildew.
- Nine candidate RGs were tested across different oat lines and time points to determine their expression stability using four different algorithms.
- The best RG combination identified was HNR (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein 27 C) and EIF4A (eukaryotic initiation factor 4 A‑3), while TUA (α-tubulin) was found to be the least stable option for normalizing gene expression data.

Background: Secondary Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) differs from primary TTS in terms of clinical characteristics, management, and prognosis. COPD exacerbation has been recognized as a physical trigger for TTS, but its prognostic implications for secondary TTS are poorly understood.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of COPD on in-hospital outcomes in TTS patients.
