Vesicle-Associated Membrane Protein-Associated Protein A Is Involved in Androgen Receptor Trafficking in Mouse Sertoli Cells by Qiong Deng, Jianwen Zhang, Zhu Wang, Shengping Zhang, Fan Zhi, Hui Liang

“…The nonclassical androgen signaling pathway is proposed to be mediated by an AR in plasma membrane in Sertoli cells. Our previous studies showed that testosterone induces cytoplasmic AR translocation to plasma membrane by binding with caveolin-1. …”

Cellular electron tomography of the apical complex in the apicomplexan parasite Eimeria tenella shows a highly organised gateway for regulated secretion. by Alana Burrell, Virginia Marugan-Hernandez, Richard Wheeler, Flavia Moreira-Leite, David J P Ferguson, Fiona M Tomley, Sue Vaughan

“…Finally, we provide ultrastructural evidence for fusion of rhoptries directly through the parasite plasma membrane early in infection and the presence of a pore in the parasitophorous vacuole membrane, providing a structural explanation for how rhoptry proteins may be trafficked between the parasite and the host cytoplasm.…”

Functional characterization of endocytic signals in the SynDIG/PRRT family members SynDIG1 and SynDIG4 in heterologous cells and neurons by David J. Speca, Chun-Wei He, Christina M. Meyer, Erin C. Scott, Erin C. Scott, Elva Díaz

“…Furthermore, we show that another family member, SynDIG1, is enriched in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and can traffic between the TGN and plasma membrane. We have identified a non-canonical μ2 binding sequence in SynDIG1 that induces aberrant accumulation at the plasma membrane of heterologous cells and primary rat hippocampal neurons, suggesting a conserved role for μ2-mediated endocytosis within the SynDIG family. …”

The Pathogenesis of Necroptosis-Dependent Signaling Pathway in Cerebral Ischemic Disease by Yang Xu, Ji Zhang, Lingsong Ma, Shoucai Zhao, Shizun Li, Tingting Huang, Zhaohu Chu

“…Mixed-lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) was phosphorylated by RIPK3 at the threonine 357 and serine 358 residues and then formed tetramers and translocated onto the plasma membrane, which destabilizes plasma membrane integrity leading to cell swelling and membrane rupture. …”

Novel Insights into the Role of Caveolin-2 in Cell- and Tissue-Specific Signaling and Function by Grzegorz Sowa

“…Caveolin-2 is one of the major protein components of cholesterol- and glycosphingolipid-rich flask-shaped invaginations of plasma membrane caveolae. A new body of evidence suggests that caveolin-2 plays an important, and often more direct, role than caveolin-1 in regulating signaling and function in a cell- and tissue type-specific manner. …”
