Raft-like lipid microdomains drive autophagy initiation via AMBRA1-ERLIN1 molecular association within MAMs

Manganelli, Valeria ; Matarrese, Paola ; Antonioli, Manuela ; Gambardella, Lucrezia ; Vescovo, Tiziana ; Gretzmeier, Christine ; Longo, Agostina ; Capozzi, Antonella ; Recalchi, Serena ; Riitano, Gloria ; Misasi, Roberta ; Dengjel, Jörn ; Malorni, Walter ; Fimia, Gian Maria ; Sorice, Maurizio ; Garofalo, Tina

In: Autophagy, 2020, p. 1-21

Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) are essential communication subdomains of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that interact with mitochondria. We previously demonstrated that, upon macroautophagy/autophagy induction, AMBRA1 is recruited to the BECN1 complex and relocalizes to MAMs, where it regulates autophagy by interacting with raft-like components. ERLIN1 is an endoplasmic reticulum...

Mitochondrial sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase is essential for phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis and survival of Trypanosoma brucei

Dawoody Nejad, Ladan ; Stumpe, Michael ; Rauch, Monika ; Hemphill, Andrew ; Schneiter, Roger ; Bütikofer, Peter ; Serricchio, Mauro

In: Scientific Reports, 2020, vol. 10, no. 1, p. 8268

Sphingosine-1-phosphate is a signaling molecule involved in the control of cell migration, differentiation, survival and other physiological processes. This sphingolipid metabolite can be degraded by the action of sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase (SPL) to form hexadecenal and ethanolamine phosphate. The importance of SPL-mediated ethanolamine phosphate formation has been characterized in only...

Endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomal quality control of four nonsense mutants of iduronate 2-sulfatase linked to Hunter’s syndrome

Marazza, Alessandro ; Galli, Carmela ; Fasana, Elisa ; Sgrignani, Jacopo ; Burda, Patricie ; Enrico M. A. Fassi ; Matthias Baumgartner ; Andrea Cavalli ; Maurizio Molinari

In: DNA and cell biology

Hunter’s syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type II) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the iduronate 2-sulfatase (IDS) gene. Motivated by the case of a child affected by this syndrome, we compared the intracellular fate of wild type IDS (IDSWT) and of four nonsense mutations of IDS (IDSL482X, IDSY452X, IDSR443X and IDSW337X) generating progressively shorter ...

Olfactory dysfunction in the pathophysiological continuum of dementia

Bathini, Praveen ; Brai, Emanuele ; Alberi Auber, Lavinia

In: Ageing Research Reviews, 2019, vol. 55, p. 100956

Sensory capacities like smell, taste, hearing, vision decline with aging, but increasing evidence show that sensory dysfunctions are one of the early signs diagnosing the conversion from physiological to pathological brain state. Smell loss represents the best characterized sense in clinical practice and is considered as one of the first preclinical signs of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s...

CXCL12α/SDF‐1 from perisynaptic Schwann cells promotes regeneration of injured motor axon terminals

Negro, Samuele ; Lessi, Francesca ; Duregotti, Elisa ; Aretini, Paolo ; La Ferla, Marco ; Franceschi, Sara ; Menicagli, Marco ; Bergamin, Elisanna ; Egle, Radice ; Megighian, Aram ; Pirazzini, Marco ; Mazzanti, Chiara M. ; Rigoni, Michela ; Montecucco, Cesare

In: EMBO molecular medicine, 2017, vol. 9, no. 8, p. 1000–1010

The neuromuscular junction has retained through evolution the capacity to regenerate after damage, but little is known on the inter‐cellular signals involved in its functional recovery from trauma, autoimmune attacks, or neurotoxins. We report here that CXCL12α, also abbreviated as stromal‐derived factor‐1 (SDF‐1), is produced specifically by perisynaptic Schwann cells following ...

Proteostasis : bad news and good news from the endoplasmic reticulum

Noack, Julia ; Brambilla Pisoni, Giorgia ; Molinari, Maurizio

In: Swiss medical weekly, 2014, vol. 144, p. w14001

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an intracellular compartment dedicated to the synthesis and maturation of secretory and membrane proteins, totalling about 30% of the total eukaryotic cells proteome. The capacity to produce correctly folded polypeptides and to transport them to their correct intra- or extracellular destinations relies on proteostasis networks that regulate and balance the...
