Neurons depend on tightly regulated positioning of cellular components to maintain long-distance signaling, but the mechanisms guiding specific mRNAs to distant regions remain unclear. Here we show that late endosomes function as selective RNA carriers in human motor neurons and uncover the molecula...
Lysosome-related organelles have versatile functions including protein and lipid degradation, signal transduction, and protein secretion. The molecular elucidation of rare congenital diseases affecting endosomal/lysosomal biogenesis has given insights into physiological functions of the innate and a...
Amphotericin B (AmB), a polyene macrolide antifungal, is well known for its ability to bind ergosterol and cholesterol; however, its interactions with host proteins remain poorly characterized. In this study, we aimed to identify AmB-binding targets in A549 cells infected with the influenza A virus ...
Amphotericin B (AmB) is a polyene macrolide antifungal agent that binds to ergosterol, disrupting fungal membranes through lipid interactions. However, its effects on host cell protein composition remain unclear. In this study, A549 cells were pretreated with AmB prior to infection with the influenz...
