Proteomic composition and mutual assembly of the C2a projection in vertebrate motile cilia

Qian Lyu, Qingchao Li, Jingrui Li, Jiajun Luo, Chunyu Liu, Shanshan Nai, Hongbin Liu, Xueliang Zhu, Ting Song, Min Liu, Huijie Zhao

The paper identifies the proteomic composition and functional interdependence of the vertebrate C2a projection, showing that loss of any of three proteins causes ciliary dysfunction and primary ciliary dyskinesia in mice.

PFKP regulates AXL-MET oncogenic and metabolic pathways in lung cancer

Huijie Zhao, Yuze Sun, Huijing Feng, Jing Cai, Yue Liu, Yu Li, Sijie Chen, Zhiqing Zhou, Yuhui Du, Xiaofei Zeng, Huan Ren, Wenmei Su, Qi Mei, Guoan Chen

This study shows PFKP promotes lung cancer progression by interacting with the AXL-MET pathway, beyond its metabolic role in glycolysis.
