Protein:protein interactions in the lipid bilayer (review).

abstract：:Small GTPase Rab36 is homologous to Rab34 with 56% amino acid sequence identity. Rab34 was characterized as a Golgi-associated Rab protein and regulates lysosomal positioning through interaction with RILP; however, the properties and functions of Rab36 have not been investigated. To investigate Rab36, we constructed E...

abstract：:Notch receptor signalling plays a central role in development and its misfunction has been linked to a number of diseases. In the cannonical Notch signalling pathway, ligand binding to Notch activates a series of proteolytic cleavages that release the Notch intracellular domain for trafficking to the nucleus, where it...
