      Autophagy protein LC3C binding to phospholipid and interaction with lipid membranes 

      Ballesteros Rivero, Uxue; Etxaniz Iriondo, Asier; Iriondo Nagore, Marina; Varela Fernández, Yaiza; Lázaro, Melisa; Viguera Rincón, Ana Rosa; Montes Burgos, Lidia Ruth ORCID; Valle Rodríguez, Mikel Karmel; Goñi Urcelay, Félix María ORCID; Alonso Izquierdo, Alicia ORCID (Elsevier, 2022-05-23)
      Autophagy is a process in which parts of the eukaryotic cell are selectively degraded in the lysosome. The materials to be catabolized are first surrounded by a double-membrane structure, the autophagosome. Autophagosome ...

      Effect of ATG12–ATG5-ATG16L1 autophagy E3-like complex on the ability of LC3/GABARAP proteins to induce vesicle tethering and fusion 

      Iriondo Nagore, Marina; Etxaniz Iriondo, Asier; Varela Fernández, Yaiza; Ballesteros Rivero, Uxue; Lázaro, Melisa; Valle, Mikel; Fracchiolla, Dorotea; Martens, Sascha; Montes Burgos, Lidia Ruth ORCID; Goñi Urcelay, Félix María ORCID; Alonso Izquierdo, Alicia ORCID (Springer, 2023-02)
      In macroautophagy, the autophagosome (AP) engulfs portions of cytoplasm to allow their lysosomal degradation. AP formation in humans requires the concerted action of the ATG12 and LC3/GABARAP conjugation systems. The ...

      Effects of a N-Maleimide-derivatized Phosphatidylethanolamine on the Architecture and Properties of Lipid Bilayers 

      Ballesteros Rivero, Uxue; González Ramírez, Emilio José; De la Arada Echevarría, Igor ORCID; Sot, Jesús; Etxaniz Iriondo, Asier; Goñi Urcelay, Félix María ORCID; Alonso Izquierdo, Alicia ORCID; Montes Burgos, Lidia Ruth ORCID (MDPI, 2023-11-21)
      <i>N</i>-maleimide-derivatized phospholipids are often used to facilitate protein anchoring to membranes. In autophagy studies, this is applied to the covalent binding of Atg8, an autophagy protein, to a phosphatidylethanolamine ...

      Irreversible versus repairable membrane poration: differences in permeabilization elicited by Bordetella Adenylate Cyclase Toxin and its hemolysin domain in macrophages 

      Etxaniz Iriondo, Asier; González Bullón, David ORCID; Martín Plágaro, César Augusto; Alonso, Maria Teresa; Ostolaza Echabe, Elena Amaya (FEBS Press, 2019-10-24)
      Rapid plasma membrane repair in response to pore-forming toxins is crucial for cell survival, but the molecular mechanisms employed by eukaryotic nucleated cells to maintain membrane integrity and the specificities of such ...

      LC3 subfamily in cardiolipin-mediated mitophagy: a comparison of the LC3A, LC3B and LC3C homologs 

      Iriondo Nagore, Marina; Etxaniz Iriondo, Asier; Varela Fernández, Yaiza; Ballesteros Rivero, Uxue; Hervás Hidalgo, Javier ORCID; Montes Burgos, Lidia Ruth ORCID; Goñi Urcelay, Félix María ORCID; Alonso Izquierdo, Alicia ORCID (Taylor & Francis, 2022-12)
      Externalization of the phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) to the outer mitochondrial membrane has been proposed to act as a mitophagy trigger. CL would act as a signal for binding the LC3 macroauto-phagy/autophagy proteins. As ...

      Lipids in Mitochondrial Macroautophagy: Phase Behavior of Bilayers Containing Cardiolipin and Ceramide 

      Varela Fernández, Yaiza; González Ramírez, Emilio José; Iriondo Nagore, Marina; Ballesteros Rivero, Uxue; Etxaniz Iriondo, Asier; Montes Burgos, Lidia Ruth ORCID; Goñi Urcelay, Félix María ORCID; Alonso Izquierdo, Alicia ORCID (MDPI, 2023-03-07)
      Cardiolipin (CL) is a key lipid for damaged mitochondrial recognition by the LC3/GABARAP human autophagy proteins. The role of ceramide (Cer) in this process is unclear, but CL and Cer have been proposed to coexist in ...

      Membrane Repair Mechanisms against Permeabilization by Pore-Forming Toxins 

      Etxaniz Iriondo, Asier; González Bullón, David ORCID; Martín Plágaro, César Augusto; Ostolaza Echabe, Elena Amaya (MDPI, 2018-06-09)
      Permeabilization of the plasma membrane represents an important threat for any cell, since it compromises its viability by disrupting cell homeostasis. Numerous pathogenic bacteria produce pore-forming toxins that break ...

      Phase behaviour of C18-N-acyl sphingolipids, the prevalent species in human brain. 

      González Ramírez, Emilio José; Etxaniz Iriondo, Asier; Alonso Izquierdo, Alicia ORCID; Goñi Urcelay, Félix María ORCID (Elsevier, 2022-11)
      Lipidomic analysis of the N-acyl components of sphingolipids in different mammalian tissues had revealed that brain tissue differed from all the other samples in that SM contained mainly C18:0 and C24:1N-acyl chains, and ...

      Understanding the Mechanism of Translocation of Adenylate Cyclase Toxin across Biological Membranes 

      Ostolaza Echabe, Elena Amaya; Martín Plágaro, César Augusto; González Bullón, David ORCID; Belloso Uribe, Kepa; Etxaniz Iriondo, Asier (MDPI, 2017-09-21)
      Adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT) is one of the principal virulence factors secreted by the whooping cough causative bacterium Bordetella pertussis, and it has a critical role in colonization of the respiratory tract and ...
