Biogenesis and function of multivesicular bodies

RC Piper, DJ Katzmann - Annu. Rev. Cell Dev. Biol., 2007 - annualreviews.org
The two major cellular sites for membrane protein degradation are the proteasome and the
lysosome. Ubiquitin attachment is a sorting signal for both degradation routes. For lysosomal …

Lysosome-endosome fusion and lysosome biogenesis

…, PR Pryor, BM Mullock, RC Piper - Journal of cell …, 2000 - journals.biologists.com
Recent data both from cell-free experiments and from cultured cells have shown that
lysosomes can fuse directly with late endosomes to form a hybrid organelle. This has a led to a …

Ubiquitin-dependent sorting in endocytosis

RC Piper, I Dikic, GL Lukacs - Cold Spring Harbor …, 2014 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
When ubiquitin (Ub) is attached to membrane proteins on the plasma membrane, it directs
them through a series of sorting steps that culminate in their delivery to the lumen of the …

Parasite lactate dehydrogenase as an assay for Plasmodium falciparum drug sensitivity.

…, JA Williams, JE Bancroft, RC Piper… - The American journal …, 1993 - europepmc.org
This report compares the use of the lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH) assay with 3H-hypoxanthine
incorporation and Giemsa microscopy for the evaluation of anti-malaria drug inhibition …

The Vps27p–Hse1p complex binds ubiquitin and mediates endosomal protein sorting

…, JL Urbanowski, SC Winistorfer, RC Piper - Nature cell …, 2002 - nature.com
Membrane proteins that are degraded in the vacuole of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are
sorted into discrete intralumenal vesicles, analogous to the internal membranes of multi-…

Svp1p defines a family of phosphatidylinositol 3, 5‐bisphosphate effectors

SK Dove, RC Piper, RK McEwen, JW Yu… - The EMBO …, 2004 - embopress.org
Phosphatidylinositol 3,5‐bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P 2 ), made by Fab1p, is essential for
vesicle recycling from vacuole/lysosomal compartments and for protein sorting into …

VPS27 controls vacuolar and endocytic traffic through a prevacuolar compartment in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

RC Piper, AA Cooper, H Yang, TH Stevens - The Journal of cell biology, 1995 - rupress.org
Newly synthesized vacuolar hydrolases such as carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) are sorted from
the secretory pathway in the late-Golgi compartment and reach the vacuole after a distinct …

[PDF][PDF] Insights into ubiquitin transfer cascades from a structure of a UbcH5B∼ ubiquitin-HECTNEDD4L complex

…, DC Scott, DM Duda, DJ Miller, D Stringer, RC Piper… - Molecular cell, 2009 - cell.com
In E1-E2-E3 ubiquitin (Ub) conjugation cascades, the E2 first forms a transient E2∼Ub covalent
complex and then interacts with an E3 for Ub transfer. For cascades involving E3s in the …

Infectious leukoencephalomyelitis of young goats

…, TB Crawford, JR Gorham, RC Piper - Journal of Infectious …, 1974 - academic.oup.com
A previously unreported afebrile, infectious leukoencephalomyelitis of one- to four-month-old
dairy goats was studied. The disease was characterized by pleocytosis and posterior …

Combinatorial SNARE complexes with VAMP7 or VAMP8 define different late endocytic fusion events

…, SCW Richardson, A Stewart, DE James, RC Piper… - EMBO …, 2004 - embopress.org
Both heterotypic and homotypic fusion events are required to deliver endocytosed
macromolecules to lysosomes and remodel late endocytic organelles. A trans‐SNARE complex …
