Although several studies have highlighted cellular dysfunctions in neurons, there is limited information on the effects of FXN depletion in astrocytes and on the potential non-cell autonomous mechanisms affecting neurons in FRDA. In this study, we generated a model of FRDA cerebellar astrocytes to unveil phenotypic alterations that might contribute to cerebellar atrophy. We treated primary cerebellar astrocytes with an RNA interference-based approach, to achieve a reduction of FXN comparable to that observed in individuals with FRDA. These FRDA-like astrocytes display some typical features of the disease, such as an increase of oxidative stress and a depletion of glutathione content. Moreover, FRDA-like astrocytes exhibit decreased Ca2+ responses to purinergic stimuli. Our findings shed light on cellular changes caused by FXN downregulation in cerebellar astrocytes, likely impairing their complex interaction with neurons. The potentially impaired ability to provide neuronal cells with glutathione or to release neuromodulators in a Ca2+-dependent manner could affect neuronal function, contributing to neurodegeneration.","PeriodicalId":15227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cell science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11828468/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142794777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assessment of the broader panel of cytosolic mutant proteins shows that the co-chaperone DNAJA2 exhibits two distinct behaviours - acting to stabilize a wide array of cytosolic proteins, including wild-type variants, and to specifically 'buffer' some mutant proteins to reduce their turnover.

PIKFYVE dysfunction leads to cytoplasmic vacuolization; however, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, we explored the cause of vacuole enlargement upon PIKFYVE inhibition in DU145 prostate cancer cells. Enlargement of vacuoles upon PIKFYVE inhibition required glutamine and its metabolism by glutaminases. Addition of ammonia, a metabolite of glutamine, was sufficient to enlarge vacuoles via PIKFYVE inhibition. Moreover, PIKFYVE inhibition led to intracellular ammonium accumulation. Endosome-lysosome permeabilization resulted in ammonium leakage from the cells, indicating ammonium accumulation in the endosomes and lysosomes. Ammonium accumulation and vacuole expansion were suppressed by the lysosomal lumen neutralization. It is therefore assumed that PIKFYVE inhibition interferes with the efflux of NH4+, which formed through protonation of NH3 in the lysosomal lumen, leading to osmotic swelling of vacuoles. Notably, glutamine or ammonium is required for PIKFYVE inhibition-induced suppression of lysosomal function and autophagic flux. In conclusion, this study shows that PIKFYVE inhibition disrupts lysosomal homeostasis via ammonium accumulation.","PeriodicalId":15227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cell science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142716300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its importance for plant growth and development, the mechanisms underlying organ size regulation remain unknown. Here, we investigated the role of RAN1, a member of the Ras-related nuclear GTPase family, in regulating pollen size. A RAN1 knockdown mutant (ran1-1) exhibited a significant reduction in pollen size, accompanied by impaired germination and reduced pollen tube growth. RAN1 mutation caused disruptions in actin filament organization, such as aberrant structure of actin collar due to the dysregulation of expression of actin-binding proteins. Furthermore, we identified that mutation of the transcription activator SHORT HYPOCOTYL UNDER BLUE1 (SHB1) showed similar but milder phenotypes in pollen compared to ran1-1. Genetic evidence suggested that SHB1 acts downstream of RAN1. Transient expression assays in leaves showed that SHB1 was largely retained in the cytoplasm of the ran1-1 mutant, potentially affecting the expression of actin-binding proteins. These findings highlight the pivotal role of RAN1 in modulating pollen size and development, providing valuable insights into cell size regulation.","PeriodicalId":15227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cell science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142750693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To activate phagocytosis, macrophages recognize 'eat me' signals like IgG and phosphatidylserine on the target cell surface. Macrophages must carefully adjust their phagocytic appetite to ignore non-specific or transient eat me signal exposure on healthy cells while still rapidly recognizing pathogens and debris. Depending on the context, macrophages can increase their appetite for phagocytosis, to prioritize an effective immune response, or decrease their appetite, to avoid damage to healthy tissue during homeostasis. In this Review, we discuss the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms that macrophages employ to increase or decrease their sensitivity or capacity for phagocytosis. We discuss evidence that macrophages tune their sensitivity via several mechanisms, including altering the balance of activating and inhibitory receptor expression, altering the availability of activating receptors, as well as influencing their clustering and mobility, and modulating inhibitory receptor location. We also highlight how membrane availability limits the capacity of macrophages for phagocytosis and discuss potential mechanisms to promote membrane recycling and increase phagocytic capacity. Overall, this Review highlights recent work detailing the molecular toolkit that macrophages use to alter their appetite.","PeriodicalId":15227,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cell science","volume":"138 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11828473/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142921838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By interacting with several different effectors, this small GTPase controls late endosome mobility, orchestrates fusion events between late endosomes and lysosomes, and participates in the formation of and regulates the fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes. Rab7A is also responsible for the spatiotemporal recruitment of retromer, which is required for the endosome-to-trans-Golgi network retrieval of cargo receptors such as sortilin (SORT1) and CI-MPR (also known as IGF2R). Recently, several post-translational modifications have been shown to modulate Rab7A functions, including palmitoylation, ubiquitination and phosphorylation. Here, we show that phosphorylation of Rab7A at serine 72 is important to modulate its interaction with retromer, as the non-phosphorylatable Rab7AS72A mutant is not able to interact with and recruit retromer to late endosomes. We have previously shown that Rab7A palmitoylation is also required for efficient retromer recruitment. We found that palmitoylation of Rab7AS72A is reduced compared to that of the wild-type protein, suggesting an interplay between S72 phosphorylation and palmitoylation in regulating the Rab7A-retromer interaction.

Most notably, histones are potent antimicrobial agents, and the release of chromatin to the extracellular space is a defence mechanism nearly as ancient and widespread as chromatin itself.
