Journal ArticleDOI

I-motif DNA structures are formed in the nuclei of human cells

TL;DR: The generation and characterization of an antibody fragment (iMab) is reported that recognizes i-motif structures with high selectivity and affinity, enabling the detection of i- Motifs in the nuclei of human cells and providing evidence that i-Motif structures are formed in regulatory regions of the human genome, including promoters and telomeric regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ezrin is a downstream effector of trafficking PKC-integrin complexes involved in the control of cell motility.

TL;DR: It is provided the first evidence that PKCα or a PKC α‐associated serine/threonine kinase can phosphorylate the ERM C‐terminal threonine residue within a kinase–ezrin molecular complex in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Cortactin-CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) complex provides a novel link between epidermal growth factor receptor endocytosis and the actin cytoskeleton.

TL;DR: By binding both CD2AP and the Arp2/3 complex, cortactin links receptor endocytosis to actin polymerization, which may facilitate the trafficking of internalized growth factor receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased Fatty Acid Desaturation and Enhanced Expression of Stearoyl Coenzyme A Desaturase Protects Pancreatic β-Cells from Lipoapoptosis

TL;DR: The results suggest that desaturation per se is more important in protecting beta-cells from the cytotoxic effects of palmitate than is the nature of neutral lipid storage pool thus generated.
