Surprisingly, the receptors can even import folded proteins, but the underlying mechanism has been a mystery. Recent results reveal how import receptors shuttle cargo into peroxisomes. The cargo-bound receptors move from the cytosol across the peroxisomal membrane completely into the matrix by a mechanism that resembles transport through the nuclear pore. The receptors then return to the cytosol through a separate retrotranslocation channel, leaving the cargo inside the organelle. This cycle concentrates imported proteins within peroxisomes, and the energy for cargo import is supplied by receptor export. Peroxisomal protein import thus fundamentally differs from other previously known mechanisms for translocating proteins across membranes.</p>","PeriodicalId":56085,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Cell Biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10957506/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41174238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, we highlight the ability of solitary tumor cells to autonomously generate a specialized fibronectin-enriched extracellular matrix to create their own pericellular niche that supports tumor initiation.

Intraciliary Wnt signaling promotes ciliogenesis, affecting male fertility, adipogenesis, and mucociliary clearance. Wnt also stimulates the beating of motile cilia, highlighting that these nanomotors, too, are chemosensory. Intraciliary Wnt signaling employs a Wnt–protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) signaling axis, involving the canonical Wnt pathway’s inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) to repress PP1 activity.
