[PDF][PDF] TNIP1 inhibits selective autophagy via bipartite interaction with LC3/GABARAP and TAX1BP1

F Le Guerroué, EN Bunker, WM Rosencrans… - Molecular Cell, 2023 - cell.com
Mitophagy is a form of selective autophagy that disposes of superfluous and potentially
damage-inducing organelles in a tightly controlled manner. While the machinery involved in …

VDAC regulation of mitochondrial calcium flux: From channel biophysics to disease

WM Rosencrans, M Rajendran, SM Bezrukov… - Cell calcium, 2021 - Elsevier
Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), the most abundant mitochondrial outer membrane
protein, is important for a variety of mitochondrial functions including metabolite exchange…

α-Synuclein emerges as a potent regulator of VDAC-facilitated calcium transport

WM Rosencrans, VM Aguilella, TK Rostovtseva… - Cell Calcium, 2021 - Elsevier
Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is the most ubiquitous channel at the mitochondrial
outer membrane, and is believed to be the pathway for calcium entering or leaving the …

[HTML][HTML] Targeting the multiple physiologic roles of VDAC with steroids and hydrophobic drugs

…, M Queralt-Martín, WM Rosencrans… - Frontiers in …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
There is accumulating evidence that endogenous steroids and non-polar drugs are involved
in the regulation of mitochondrial physiology. Many of these hydrophobic compounds …

Single-molecule compaction of megabase-long chromatin molecules by multivalent cations

…, NV Berezhnoy, S Wang, WM Rosencrans… - Nucleic Acids …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
To gain insight into the conformational properties and compaction of megabase-long chromatin
molecules, we reconstituted chromatin from T4 phage DNA (165 kb) and recombinant …

[HTML][HTML] Restricting α-synuclein transport into mitochondria by inhibition of α-synuclein–VDAC complexation as a potential therapeutic target for Parkinson's disease …

…, M Queralt-Martín, PA Gurnev, WM Rosencrans… - Cellular and Molecular …, 2022 - Springer
Involvement of alpha-synuclein (αSyn) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is complicated and difficult
to trace on cellular and molecular levels. Recently, we established that αSyn can regulate …

[HTML][HTML] Dimeric Tubulin Modifies Mechanical Properties of Lipid Bilayer, as Probed Using Gramicidin A Channel

…, M Weinrich, D Jacobs, WM Rosencrans… - International Journal of …, 2024 - mdpi.com
Using the gramicidin A channel as a molecular probe, we show that tubulin binding to planar
lipid membranes changes the channel kinetics—seen as an increase in the lifetime of the …

Sulforaphane is Synergistic with CB‐5083 and Inhibits Colony Formation of CB‐5083‐Resistant HCT116 Cells

F Wang, S Li, WM Rosencrans, KW Cheng… - …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Human p97 is a potential drug target in oncology. Mutation‐driven drug resistance is an
obstacle to the long‐term efficacy of targeted therapy. We found that the ATPase activity for one …

[HTML][HTML] The p97 inhibitor UPCDC-30245 blocks endo-lysosomal degradation

F Wang, S Li, KW Cheng, WM Rosencrans, TF Chou - Pharmaceuticals, 2022 - mdpi.com
