Journal ArticleDOI

The cation efflux transporter ZnT8 (Slc30A8) is a major autoantigen in human type 1 diabetes

TL;DR: The combined measurement of ZnT8A, GADA, IA2A, and IAA raised autoimmunity detection rates to 98% at disease onset, a level that approaches that needed to detect prediabetes in a general pediatric population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intraorganellar calcium and pH control proinsulin cleavage in the pancreatic β cell via two distinct site-specific endopeptidases

TL;DR: The results suggest a simple mechanism whereby different dibasic sites can be cleaved in different cellular compartments, and how proteolytic conversion of diverse proproteins destined for different cellular sites can occur differentially and in a regulated manner is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

A GDP-bound of rab1 inhibits protein export from the endoplasmic reticulum and transport between Golgi compartments.

TL;DR: The function of a mutant (rab1a[S25N]) containing a substitution which perturbs Mg2+ coordination and reduces the affinity for GTP is analyzed, resulting in a form which is likely to be restricted to the GDP-bound state.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphological analysis of protein transport from the ER to Golgi membranes in digitonin-permeabilized cells: role of the P58 containing compartment.

TL;DR: These studies demonstrate that digitonin permeabilized cells can be used to efficiently reconstitute the early secretory pathway in vitro, allowing a direct comparison of the morphological and biochemical events involved in vesicular tafficking, and identifying a key role for the p58 containing compartment in ER to Golgi transport.
