Abstract
The aggresome is a perinuclear structure that sequesters misfolded proteins. It is implicated in various neurodegenerative diseases. The perinuclear structure enriched with protein interacting with C kinase 1 (PICK1) was found to be inducible by cellular stressors, colocalizing with microtubule-organizing center markers and ubiquitin, hence classifying it as an aggresome. Sodium arsenite but not arsenate was found to potently induce aggresome formation through an integrated stress response-independent pathway. In HEK293T cells, under arsenite stress, PICK1 localization to the aggresome was prioritized, and formation of PICK1 homodimers was favored. Additionally, PICK1 could enhance protein entry into aggresomes. This study shows that arsenite can induce the formation of both RNA stress granules and aggresomes at the same time, and that PICK1 shows conditional localization to aggresomes, suggesting a possible involvement of PICK1 in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
In the CNS communication between neurons occurs at synapses by secretion of neurotransmitter via exocytosis of synaptic vesicles (SVs) at the active zone. Given the limited number of SVs in presynaptic boutons a fast and efficient recycling of exocytosed membrane and proteins by triggered compensatory endocytosis is required to maintain neurotransmission. Thus, pre-synapses feature a unique tight coupling of exo- and endocytosis in time and space resulting in the reformation of SVs with uniform morphology and well-defined molecular composition. This rapid response requires early stages of endocytosis at the peri-active zone to be well choreographed to ensure reformation of SVs with high fidelity. The pre-synapse can address this challenge by a specialized membrane microcompartment, where a pre-sorted and pre-assembled readily retrievable pool (RRetP) of endocytic membrane patches is formed, consisting of the vesicle cargo, presumably bound within a nucleated Clathrin and adaptor complex. This review considers evidence for the RRetP microcompartment to be the primary organizer of presynaptic triggered compensatory endocytosis.

Abstract
Background Recent studies indicate that cell mechanics are associated with malignancy through its impact on cell migration and adhesion. Gliomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumors. Low-grade gliomas (LGGs) include diffuse LGGs (WHO grade II) and intermediate-grade gliomas (WHO grade III). Few studies have focused on membrane tension in LGGs. Herein, we assessed the prognostic value of plasma membrane tension-related genes (MTRGs) in LGGs. Methods We selected plasma MTRGs identified in previous studies for analysis. Based on LGG RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data in The Cancer Genome Atlas, a prognostic signature containing four genes was constructed via log-rank testing, LASSO regression and stepwise multivariate Cox regression and was validated with other datasets. Additionally, functional annotation, pathway enrichment and immune and molecular characteristics of the prognostic model defined subgroups were analyzed. Thereafter, a predictive nomogram that integrated baseline characteristics was constructed to determine the 3, 5, and 10-year overall survival (OS) of patients with LGG. Differentially expressed genes were confirmed via quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Results Our MTRG prognostic signature was based on ARFIP2, PICK1, SH3GL2, and SRGAP3 expression levels. The high-risk group was more positively associated with apoptosis and cell adhesion pathways and exhibited a low IDH1 mutation rate, high TP53 mutation rate and a low 1p19q co-deletion rate. The high-risk group also exhibited incremental infiltration of immune cells, more forceful immune activities and high expression of immune checkpoints as well as benefited less from immune therapy compared with the low-risk group. Our prognostic model had better forecasting ability than other scoring systems. We found that the nomogram was a better tool for predicting outcomes for patients with LGG. Finally, qRT-PCR confirmed that SH3GL2 and SRGAP3 expression levels in glioma tissues were significantly lower than those in normal brain tissues. The results of IHC analysis confirmed that SH3GL2 protein expression was higher in patients with longer survival. Conclusion Our plasma membrane tension-related gene prognostic signature is a prospective tool that can differentiate between prognosis, gene mutation landscape, immune microenvironment, immune infiltration and immunotherapeutic efficacy in LGG.

Abstract
Well-tolerated and effective drugs for treating chronic pain conditions are urgently needed. Most chronic pain patients are not effectively relieved from their pain and suffer from debilitating drug side effects. This has not only drastic negative consequences for the patients' quality of life, but also constitute an enormous burden on society. It is therefore of great interest to explore new potent targets for effective pain treatment with fewer side effects and without addiction liability. A critical component of chronic pain conditions is central sensitization, which involves the reorganization and strengthening of synaptic transmission within nociceptive pathways. Such changes are considered as maladaptive and depend on changes in the surface expression and signaling of AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs). The PDZ-domain scaffold protein PICK1 binds the AMPARs and has been suggested to play a key role in these maladaptive changes. In the present paper, we review the regulation of AMPARs by PICK1 and its relation to pain pathology. Moreover, we highlight other pain-relevant PICK1 interactions, and we evaluate various compounds that target PICK1 and have been successfully tested in pain models. Finally, we evaluate the potential on-target side effects of interfering with the action of PICK1 action in CNS and beyond. We conclude that PICK1 constitutes a valid drug target for the treatment of inflammatory and neuropathic pain conditions without the side effects and abuse liability associated with current pain medication.

Regulation of NMDA receptor trafficking and gating by activity-dependent CaMKIIα phosphorylation of the GluN2A subunit. Cell Rep 2021; 36:109338.

Abstract
NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-dependent Ca2+ influx underpins multiple forms of synaptic plasticity. Most synaptic NMDAR currents in the adult forebrain are mediated by GluN2A-containing receptors, which are rapidly inserted into synapses during long-term potentiation (LTP); however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we show that GluN2A is phosphorylated at Ser-1459 by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase IIα (CaMKIIα) in response to glycine stimulation that mimics LTP in primary neurons. Phosphorylation of Ser-1459 promotes GluN2A interaction with the sorting nexin 27 (SNX27)-retromer complex, thereby enhancing the endosomal recycling of NMDARs. Loss of SNX27 or CaMKIIα function blocks the glycine-induced increase in GluN2A-NMDARs on the neuronal membrane. Interestingly, mutations of Ser-1459, including the rare S1459G human epilepsy variant, prolong the decay times of NMDAR-mediated synaptic currents in heterosynapses by increasing the duration of channel opening. These findings not only identify a critical role of Ser-1459 phosphorylation in regulating the function of NMDARs, but they also explain how the S1459G variant dysregulates NMDAR function.
