Clonal evolution is an established theory to explain heterogeneity, but the discovery of cancer stem cells expanded the concept to include the hierarchical growth and plasticity of cancer cells. The activation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and its molecular players are widely correlated with the presence of cancer stem cells in tumors. Moreover, the acquisition of certain oncological features may be partially attributed to alterations in the levels, location or function of nucleolin, a multifunctional protein involved in several cellular processes. This review aims at integrating the established hallmarks of cancer with the plasticity of cancer cells as an emerging hallmark; responsible for tumor heterogeneity; therapy resistance and relapse. The discussion will contextualize the involvement of nucleolin in the establishment of cancer hallmarks and its application as a marker protein for targeted anticancer therapies Keywords: tumor heterogeneity; drug resistance; cancer stem cells; nucleolin; targeted therapies; epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition Citation: Carvalho, L.S.; Gonçalves, N.; Fonseca, N.A.; Moreira, J.N.

  • Vesicle Transport in Chloroplasts with Emphasis on Rab Proteins
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Göteborgs universitets publikationer - e-publicering och e-arkiv Vesicle Transport in Chloroplasts with Emphasis on Rab Proteins Mohamed Alezzawi Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Gothenburg, Box 461, SE-405 30 Gothenburg, Sweden Abstract Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis using PSI and PSII during its light-dependent phase. Inside the chloroplast there is a membrane called thylakoid. The thylakoid membranes are an internal system of interconnected membranes that carry out the light reactions of photosynthesis. The thylakoid membranes do not produce their own lipids or proteins, so they are mainly transported from the envelope to the thylakoid for maintenance of e.g. the photosynthetic apparatus. An aqueous stroma made hinder between the envelope and thylakoid for the lipids to move between the two compartments. Vesicle transport is suggested to transport lipids to thylakoids supported by biochemical and ultra-structural data. Proteins could potentially also be transported by vesicles as cargo but this is not supported yet experimentally. However, proteins targeted to thylakoids are mediated by four pathways so far identified but it has been proposed that a vesicle transport could exist for proteins targeted to thylakoids as well similar to the cytosolic vesicle transport system. This thesis revealed similarity of vesicle transport inside the chloroplast to the cytosolic system. A novel Rab protein CPRabA5E (CP= chloroplast localized) was shown in Arabidopsis to be chloroplast localized and characterized to be important for thylakoid structure, plant development, and oxidative stress response. Moreover, CPRabA5e complemented the yeast homologues being involved in vesicle transport, and the cprabA5e mutants were affected for vesicle formation in the chloroplasts.

  • Cooperation of Mitochondrial and ER Factors in Quality Control of Tail
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Cooperation of mitochondrial and ER factors in quality control of tail-anchored proteins Verena Dederer1, Anton Khmelinskii1,2, Anna Gesine Huhn1, Voytek Okreglak3, Michael Knop1,4, Marius K Lemberg1* 1Centre for Molecular Biology of Heidelberg University (ZMBH), DKFZ-ZMBH Alliance, Heidelberg, Germany; 2Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB), Mainz, Germany; 3Calico Life Sciences LLC, South San Francisco, United States; 4Cell Morphogenesis and Signal Transduction, German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Heidelberg, Germany Abstract Tail-anchored (TA) proteins insert post-translationally into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) and peroxisomes. Whereas the GET pathway controls ER-targeting, no dedicated factors are known for OMM insertion, posing the question of how accuracy is achieved. The mitochondrial AAA-ATPase Msp1 removes mislocalized TA proteins from the OMM, but it is unclear, how Msp1 clients are targeted for degradation. Here we screened for factors involved in degradation of TA proteins mislocalized to mitochondria. We show that the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) E3 ubiquitin ligase Doa10 controls cytoplasmic level of Msp1 clients. Furthermore, we identified the uncharacterized OMM protein Fmp32 and the ectopically expressed subunit of the ER-mitochondria encounter structure (ERMES) complex Gem1 as native clients for Msp1 and Doa10. We propose that productive localization of TA proteins to the OMM is ensured by complex assembly, while orphan subunits are extracted by Msp1 and eventually degraded by Doa10. *For correspondence: DOI: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.45506.001 [email protected]. de Competing interests: The authors declare that no Introduction competing interests exist.

  • Ipomoeassin-F Disrupts Multiple Aspects of Secretory Protein
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ipomoeassin‑F disrupts multiple aspects of secretory protein biogenesis Peristera Roboti1*, Sarah O’Keefe1, Kwabena B. Duah2, Wei Q. Shi2 & Stephen High1* The Sec61 complex translocates nascent polypeptides into and across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), providing access to the secretory pathway. In this study, we show that Ipomoeassin‑F (Ipom‑F), a selective inhibitor of protein entry into the ER lumen, blocks the in vitro translocation of certain secretory proteins and ER lumenal folding factors whilst barely afecting others such as albumin. The efects of Ipom‑F on protein secretion from HepG2 cells are twofold: reduced ER translocation combined, in some cases, with defective ER lumenal folding. This latter issue is most likely a consequence of Ipom‑F preventing the cell from replenishing its ER lumenal chaperones. Ipom‑F treatment results in two cellular stress responses: frstly, an upregulation of stress‑inducible cytosolic chaperones, Hsp70 and Hsp90; secondly, an atypical unfolded protein response (UPR) linked to the Ipom‑F‑mediated perturbation of ER function. Hence, although levels of spliced XBP1 and CHOP mRNA and ATF4 protein increase with Ipom‑F, the accompanying increase in the levels of ER lumenal BiP and GRP94 seen with tunicamycin are not observed. In short, although Ipom‑F reduces the biosynthetic load of newly synthesised secretory proteins entering the ER lumen, its efects on the UPR preclude the cell restoring ER homeostasis. Afer synthesis at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), many soluble proteins including cytokines, hormones and enzymes follow the secretory pathway to the cell surface, where they are released by exocytosis (hereafer called secretory proteins)1.

Lysosomes dispose and recycle extracellular or intracellular macromolecules by fusing with endosomes or autophagosomes through specific waste clearance processes such as chaperone-mediated autophagy or microautophagy. The proteolytic end product is transported out of lysosomes via transporters or vesicular membrane trafficking. Recent studies have demonstrated lysosomes as a signaling node which sense, adapt and respond to changes in substrate metabolism to maintain cellular function. Lysosomal dysfunction not only influence pathways mediating membrane trafficking that culminate in the lysosome but also govern metabolic and signaling processes regulating protein sorting and targeting. In this review, we describe the current knowledge of lysosome in influencing sorting and nutrient signaling. We further present a mechanistic overview of intra-lysosomal processes, along with extra-lysosomal processes, governing lysosomal fusion and fission, exocytosis, positioning and membrane contact site formation. This review compiles existing knowledge in the field of lysosomal biology by describing various lysosomal events necessary to maintain cellular homeostasis facilitating development of therapies maintaining lysosomal function.
