At the frenetic pace of the Trump administration wins, it’s easy to lose sight of smaller but still important successes. The administration just terminated a contract, and let three others lapse, with ...

Lipid transporters E-Syt3 and ORP5 regulate epithelial ion transport by controlling phosphatidylserine enrichment at ER/PM junctions ...

Recruitment of NLRP3 to the Golgi is controlled by the reversible addition of a lipid anchor adjacent to the polybasic region.

The wide distribution of the polybasic domain, but not an α0 helix in which it is found in opisthokonts, suggests that the role of ancestral septins involved their binding to lipid bilayers.

The world is coping with the health, societal, and economic consequences of more than 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Emerging diseases caused by new pathogens, or re-emerging infectious diseases, ...

The proposed polybasic site was functional (availability to proteases) when the S protein was on the virion for host cell entry. A fully posttranslationally processed S protein surface translocation ...

When challenged by energetic stresses triggered by hypoxia and ATP inhibition, plasma membrane PI4P and PIP2 in cells undergo dramatic turnovers that have profound impact on many cellular processes ...

Researchers evaluated the importance of the P681 residue within the furin cleavage site of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in determining the fusogenicity and syncytia formation ability of SARS-CoV-2 ...

Among samples obtained from persons who had received the mRNA-1273 or BNT162b2 vaccines, neutralizing antibody titers against the B.1.617.1 variant were 6.8 times lower than those against the WA1/2 ...
