Malectin is a conserved, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident lectin that recognizes high mannose oligosaccharides displaying terminal glucose residues. Here we show that Malectin is an ER stress-induced protein that selectively associates with glycopolypeptides without affecting their entry and their retention in the Calnexin chaperone system. Analysis of the obligate Calnexin client influenza ...

With the high efficacy of protein-based therapeutics and plenty of intracellular drug targets, cytosolic protein delivery in a cell-specific manner has attracted considerable attention in the field of precision medicine. Herein, we present an intracellular protein delivery system based on a target-specific repebody and the translocation domain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A. The delivery ...

The object of research is the system organization transportation perishable goods. study subject technological process goods by small shipments. problem solved was a multicriteria optimization delivery results are built simulation model for distribution consignments and according to criterion minimizing time while limiting rational use available vehicles. To construct model, discrete-event agen...

Chromosomal region maintenance 1 (CRM1) mediates p53 nuclear export. Although p53 SUMOylation promotes its nuclear export, the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here we show that tethering of a small, ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) moiety to p53 markedly increases its cytoplasmic localization. SUMO attachment to p53 does not affect its oligomerization, suggesting that subunit dissociation requir...

The kinesins have long been known to drive microtubule-based transport of sub-cellular components, yet the mechanisms of their attachment to cargo remain a mystery. Several different cargo-receptors have been proposed based on their in vitro binding affinities to kinesin-1. Only two of these-phosphatidyl inositol, a negatively charged lipid, and the carboxyl terminus of the amyloid precursor pr...

It is known that melanophilin is a myosin Va-targeting molecule that links myosin Va and the cargo vesicles in cells. Here we found that melanophilin directly activates the actin-activated ATPase activity of myosin Va and thus its motor activity. The actin-activated ATPase activity of the melanocyte-type myosin Va having exon-F was significantly activated by melanophilin by 4-fold. Although Rab...

Combined deficiency of factor V and factor VIII (F5F8D) is a bleeding disorder caused by mutations in either LMAN1 or MCFD2. LMAN1 (ERGIC-53) and MCFD2 form a Ca2 -dependent cargo receptor that cycles between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment for efficient transport of FV/FVIII from the ER to the Golgi. Here we show that the C-terminal EF-hand domains are ...

A two-step reconstitution system for the generation of ER cargo exit sites from starting ER-derived low density microsomes (LDMs; 1.17 g/cc) is described. The first step is mediated by the hydrolysis of Mg(2+)ATP and Mg(2+)GTP, leading to the formation of a transitional ER (tER) with the soluble cargo albumin, transferrin, and the ER-to-Golgi recycling membrane proteins alpha(2)p24 and p58 (ERG...

Internalization of proteins from the plasma membrane (PM) allows for cell-surface composition regulation, signaling of network modulation, and nutrient uptake. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is a major internalization route for PM proteins. During CME, endocytic adaptor proteins bind cargoes at the cell surface and link them to the PM and clathrin coat. Muniscins are a conserved family of ...

The bridge crane system is a typical under-actuated that widely used in production and life. Although various scholars have conducted extensive research on the recent years, there are still many problems, such as trajectory planning of cart anti-sway control cargo. In order to tackle problem cargo, hierarchical global fast terminal sliding-mode (H-GFTSMC) developed this work. First, Lagrange eq...
