Neocarzilin A induces apoptosis and mitochondrial disturbance by targeting reticulon 4-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress by A. T. Jauch, J. Sailer, J. Braun, E. Czeslik, J. Geyer, C. Eberhagen, A. M. Vollmar, H. Zischka, S. A. Sieber, S. Zahler

“…Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is induced by treatment with NCA, and subsequently, the unfolded protein response (UPR) via the protein kinase r-like ER kinase (PERK) branch is prompted. Proteomic ABPP data indicate reticulon 4 (Rtn4, Nogo), an ER-located protein mainly involved in shaping ER tubules and maintaining proper ER function, as a promising hit to explain those effects. …”

Stimulation of cortical myosin phosphorylation by p114RhoGEF drives cell migration and tumor cell invasion. by Stephen J Terry, Ahmed Elbediwy, Ceniz Zihni, Andrew R Harris, Maryse Bailly, Guillaume T Charras, Maria S Balda, Karl Matter

“…Invasion of 3D matrices was p114RhoGEF-dependent under conditions that do not require metalloproteinase activity, supporting a role of p114RhoGEF in myosin-dependent, amoeboid-like locomotion. Our data demonstrate that p114RhoGEF drives cortical myosin activation by stimulating myosin light chain double phosphorylation and, thereby, collective cell migration of epithelial sheets and amoeboid-like motility of tumor cells.…”
