Banfer S, Kutscher S, Fleck F, Dienst M, Preusser C, Pogge von Strandmann E, et al.
Front Cell Dev Biol . 2022 Sep; 10:878620. PMID: 36172289
E-cadherin, a transmembrane protein involved in epithelial cell-cell adhesion and signaling, is found in exosomal fractions isolated from human body fluids. A cellular mechanism for recruitment of E-cadherin into extracellular...

Banfer S, Jacob R
Curr Biol . 2022 May; 32(9):R406-R408. PMID: 35537386
Banfer and Jacob introduce us to galectins - β-galactoside-binding lectins - and their range of functions in multicellular organisms.
3.
Banfer S, Kutscher S, Jacob R
Methods Mol Biol . 2022 Mar; 2442:413-424. PMID: 35320538
Cells use unconventional secretion to deliver the β-galactoside binding lectin galectin-3 from the cell interior into the extracellular milieu. This process starts with galectin-3 recruitment into intraluminal vesicles (ILVs), which...

Vlacil A, Banfer S, Jacob R, Trippel N, Kuzu I, Schieffer B, et al.
PLoS One . 2021 Nov; 16(11):e0260181. PMID: 34788346
Due to its increasing production, durability and multiple applications, plastic is a material we encounter every day. Small plastic particles from the μm to the mm range are classified as...

Banfer S, Jacob R
Biomolecules . 2020 Aug; 10(9). PMID: 32847140
Carbohydrate-binding galectins are expressed in various tissues of multicellular organisms. They are involved in autophagy, cell migration, immune response, inflammation, intracellular transport, and signaling. In recent years, novel roles of...

Stehling O, Jeoung J, Freibert S, Paul V, Banfer S, Niggemeyer B, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2018 Sep; 115(39):E9085-E9094. PMID: 30201724
Maturation of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins in eukaryotes requires complex machineries in mitochondria and cytosol. Initially, Fe-S clusters are assembled on dedicated scaffold proteins and then are trafficked to target apoproteins....

Banfer S, Schneider D, Dewes J, Strauss M, Freibert S, Heimerl T, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2018 Apr; 115(19):E4396-E4405. PMID: 29686075
The beta-galactoside binding lectin galectin-3 (Gal3) is found intracellularly and in the extracellular space. Secretion of this lectin is mediated independently of the secretory pathway by a not yet defined...

Goedicke-Fritz S, Kaistha A, Kacik M, Markert S, Hofmeister A, Busch C, et al.
Eur J Cell Biol . 2015 Jun; 94(7-9):391-400. PMID: 26116074
Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels (KCa) play a pivotal role in the endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization and regulation of vascular tone and blood pressure. For activation, KCa depend on an increase of intracellular calcium...

Weber M, Sediri H, Felgenhauer U, Binzen I, Banfer S, Jacob R, et al.
Cell Host Microbe . 2015 Feb; 17(3):309-319. PMID: 25704008
The cytoplasmic RNA helicase RIG-I mediates innate sensing of RNA viruses. The genomes of influenza A virus (FLUAV) are encapsidated by the nucleoprotein and associated with RNA polymerase, posing potential...

Cell Signal . 2013 Sep; 25(12):2668-75. PMID: 24018050
Suppressor of fused (SUFU) is an essential negative regulator of the mammalian Hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway and its loss is associated with cancer development. On a cellular level, endogenous SUFU...
