Model organisms for investigating the functional involvement of NRF2 in non-com...
Rojo, Ana I.; Buttari, Brigitta; Cadenas, Susana; Carlos, Ana Rita; Cuadrado, Antonio; Falcão, Ana Sofia; López, Manuela G.; Georgiev, Milen I.Non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) are most commonly characterized by age-related loss of homeostasis and/or by cumulative exposures to environmental factors, which lead to low-grade sustained generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), chronic inflammation and metabolic imbalance. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-like 2 (NRF2) is a basic leucine-zipper transcription factor that regulates the cellular redox ho...

The Ternary Rab27a-Myrip-Myosin VIIa Complex Regulates Melanosome Motility in t...
Lopes, Vanda S.; Ramalho, José S.; Owen, Dylan M.; Karl, Mike O.; Strauss, Olaf; Futter, Clare E.; Seabra, Miguel C.The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) contains melanosomes similar to those found in the skin melanocytes, which undergo dramatic light-dependent movements in fish and amphibians. In mammals, those movements are more subtle and appear to be regulated by the Rab27a GTPase and the unconventional myosin, Myosin VIIa (MyoVIIa). Here we address the hypothesis that a recently identified Rab27a- and MyoVIIa-interacting...
