Spatio-temporal segregation of Ras signals: one ship, three anchors, many harbors

O Rocks, A Peyker, PIH Bastiaens - Current opinion in cell biology, 2006 - Elsevier
Dynamic assembly of spatially separated signaling platforms enables a cell to tune cellular
outputs in response to different input stimuli. Understanding how a vast diversity in signaling …

An acylation cycle regulates localization and activity of palmitoylated Ras isoforms

O Rocks, A Peyker, M Kahms, PJ Verveer, C Koerner… - Science, 2005 - science.org
We show that the specific subcellular distribution of H- and Nras guanosine triphosphate–binding
proteins is generated by a constitutive de/reacylation cycle that operates on …

[HTML][HTML] The palmitoylation machinery is a spatially organizing system for peripheral membrane proteins

O Rocks, M Gerauer, N Vartak, S Koch, ZP Huang… - Cell, 2010 - cell.com
Reversible S-palmitoylation of cysteine residues critically controls transient membrane
tethering of peripheral membrane proteins. Little is known about how the palmitoylation …

Small-molecule inhibition of APT1 affects Ras localization and signaling

FJ Dekker, O Rocks, N Vartak, S Menninger… - Nature chemical …, 2010 - nature.com

localization and function of various peripheral membrane proteins, such as Ras proto-oncogene …

Structural insights into oligomerization and mitochondrial remodelling of dynamin 1‐like protein

…, K Faelber, E Rosenbaum, J Mears, O Rocks… - The EMBO …, 2013 - embopress.org
Dynamin 1‐like protein (DNM1L) mediates fission of mitochondria and peroxisomes, and
dysfunction of DNM1L has been implicated in several neurological disorders. To study the …

Systems analysis of RhoGEF and RhoGAP regulatory proteins reveals spatially organized RAC1 signalling from integrin adhesions

…, C Bakal, O Pertz, T Pawson, E Petsalaki, O Rocks - Nature cell …, 2020 - nature.com
Rho GTPases are central regulators of the cytoskeleton and, in humans, are controlled by
145 multidomain guanine nucleotide exchange factors (RhoGEFs) and GTPase-activating …

Adenine nucleotide translocase-1, a component of the permeability transition pore, can dominantly induce apoptosis

MKA Bauer, A Schubert, O Rocks, S Grimm - The Journal of cell biology, 1999 - rupress.org
Here, we describe the isolation of adenine nucleotide translocase-1 (ANT-1) in a screen for
dominant, apoptosis-inducing genes. ANT-1 is a component of the mitochondrial …

AR Reynolds, C Tischer, PJ Verveer, O Rocks… - Nature cell …, 2003 - nature.com
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) belongs to the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)
superfamily and is involved in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation and motility 1 . …

Red-edge anisotropy microscopy enables dynamic imaging of homo-FRET between green fluorescent proteins in cells

A Squire, PJ Verveer, O Rocks… - Journal of structural biology, 2004 - Elsevier
Steady-state fluorescence anisotropy measurements can be used to detect fluorescence
resonance energy transfer (FRET) between identical fluorophores (homo-FRET). However, the …

[PDF][PDF] Structural insights into the mechanism of GTPase activation in the GIMAP family

…, J Eichhorst, B Wiesner, J Behlke, O Rocks… - Structure, 2013 - cell.com
