Condensed Mitochondria Assemble Into the Acrosomal Matrix During Spermiogenesis
- Authors
- Mindong RenYang XuColin K. L. PhoonHediye Erdjument-Bromage4 more author(s)...
- Description
This study used proteomic analysis, respirometry, and electron microscopy to examine the development of condensed mitochondria. The dataset contains proteomic and imaging data. The data indicate that condensed mitochondria formed from orthodox mitochondria during meiosis in order to support the formation of the acrosomal matrix. Condensed mitochondria also respired more actively and contained more...

- Description
Leukocidins are crucial components of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and they are secreted toxins that directly target and lyse immune cells. One of the leukocidins, Leukocidin AB (LukAB), is associated with the bacterial cell envelope. This study examined how S. aureus regulates LukAB secretion as well as the role of bacteria-associated LukAB in host-pathogen interaction. Using tissue culture models...

- Description
Previous studies showed an abundance of functional Connexin43 (Cx43) hemichannels consequent to loss of plakophilin-2 (PKP2) expression in adult murine hearts. This study combined pre-embedding immunolabeling with serial block-face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) to visualize and examine the gap junction plaque morphology. They used a murine model of cardiomyocyte-specific Tamoxifen (TAM) activated...

Drosophila Fatty Acid Binding Protein Essential for Light-Dependent Rhodopsin-1 Degradation and Photoreceptor Survival
- Authors
- Huai-Wei HuangHyung Don Ryoo
- Description
Rhodopsins are light-detecting proteins associated with retinal chromophores. Dysfunctional Rhodopsins cause retinal degeneration in humans and model organisms. However, the mechanisms by which photoreceptors regulate Rhodopsin homeostasis remains unknown. This study performed a photoreceptor-specific gene expression profiling analysis to examine how photoreceptors respond to stress. For their investigation,...

Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule Required for Ventricular Conduction System Development
- Authors
- Camila DelgadoLei BuJie ZhangFang-Yu Liu4 more author(s)...
- Description
The Purkinje cells (PCs) within the ventricular conduction system (VCS) has been widely investigated, because they are necessary for synchronous activation of the ventricular myocardium. This study identified genes that might influence PC development and VCS function. The differential transcriptional profiling revealed several highly enriched cell adhesion molecules in PCs. They uncovered two additional...

Energetics of the Microsporidian Polar Tube Invasion Machinery
- Authors
- Ray ChangAri DavydovPattana JaroenlakBreane Budaitis3 more author(s)...
- Description
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites that use an unusual invasion organelle called the polar tube (PT), which is ejected from a dormant spore at ultra-fast speeds, to infect host cells. This study used serial block-face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) to capture 3-dimensional snapshots of Anncaliia algerae spores in different states of the PT ejection process. They proposed a theoretical...
