The Sec6/8 (a.k.a. Exocyst) Complex Supports DNA Repair Fidelity
The exocyst complex, first described in yeast, is a heterooctomeric complex that serves as a signaling platform to mediate cellular responses to diverse spatial and temporal cues. Evidence suggests that the exocyst might contribute to oncogenesis, potentially by disrupting spatial and temporal …

Characterization of Class D VPS Proteins
… classes of mutants, each defective in one transport step in the VPS pathway. The Class D VPS proteins are thought to control anterograde traffic between the late Golgi and late endosome. Although most of these proteins have homologues of known function in other systems, two exceptions are …

Structural Studies of Complexin/SNARE Interactions
Vesicular neurotransmitter release is mediated by exocytosis of synaptic vesicles at the presynaptic active zone of nerve terminals. The Ca2+-triggered release process is extremely fast, lasts less than half a millisecond, and is tightly regulated by Ca2+. Action potentials cause Ca2+ influx …

PI(4)P-Dependent Recruitment of Clathrin Adaptors to the Trans-Golgi Network
… gamma-ear containing, Arf-binding proteins (GGAs). The fundamental question of how these adaptors are recruited to TGN membrane remains unclear. Previous studies have shown that adaptor recruitment to the TGN is absolutely dependent on the small GTPase ADP ribosylation factor 1 …

Caveolins and NJKs Influence Brain Endothelial Permeability after Juvenile TBI
… N-terminal kinases (JNKs) were identified as proteins of interest in the regulation of brain endothelial permeability after injury. These were investigated under a three-fold aim. The first was to characterize the acute and long-term histological and functional changes occurring following …
