    Voltage-sensing phosphatase (Vsp) regulates endocytosis-dependent nutrient absorption in chordate enterocytes

    Voltage-sensing phosphatase (Vsp) is a unique membrane protein that translates membrane electrical activities into the changes of phosphoinositide profiles. Vsp orthologs from various species have been intensi...

    Msn2/4 transcription factors positively regulate expression of Atg39 ER-phagy receptor

    Selective autophagy requires the autophagy receptor specifically localizing to the target for degradation. In the budding yeast, Atg39 and Atg40 function as an autophagy receptor for the endoplasmic reticulum ...

    Expression control of the AMPK regulatory subunit and its functional significance in yeast ER stress response

    AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an evolutionarily conserved heterotrimeric kinase complex consisting of a catalytic subunit, α, and two regulatory subunits, β and γ. Previously, we demonstrated that Snf...

    The growth factor SVH-1 regulates axon regeneration in C. elegans via the JNK MAPK cascade

    Following axonal injury in C. elegans, the growth factor SVH-1 and its cognate receptor tyrosine kinase, SVH-2, act to promote axonal regeneration via activation of the JNK-MAPK pathway.
