The crucial function of blood platelets in hemostasis is to prevent blood loss by stable thrombus formation. This process is driven by orchestrated mechanisms including several signal transduction cascades and morphologic transformations. The cytoplasmic microtubule modulator RanBP10 is a Ran and β1-tubulin binding protein that is essential for platelet granule release and mice lacking RanBP10 harbor a severe bleeding phenotype. In this study, we demonstrate that RanBP10-nullizygous platelets… 

Figures from this paper

Humanin analogue, HNG, inhibits platelet activation and thrombus formation by stabilizing platelet microtubules
TLDR
A novel role is identified in platelet function and thrombus formation potentially through stabilizing platelet microtubules via tubulin acetylation and a potential benefit of HNG in the management of cardiovascular diseases is suggested.
Histone deacetylase 6-mediated deacetylation of α-tubulin coordinates cytoskeletal and signaling events during platelet activation.
TLDR
Findings support a role for acetylation signaling in controlling the resting structure of the platelet tubulin marginal band as well as in the coordination of signaling systems that drive platelet cytoskeletal changes and aggregation.
Platelet Shape Change
TLDR
Advances in imaging technologies and molecular tools continue to provide mechanistic insights into platelet shape change as one of the earliest morphological manifestations of platelets activation, a potential biomarker for platelet-based disease states and a powerful tool in basic and translational studies of platelet function.
Impact of Itga2-Gp6-double collagen receptor deficient mice for bone marrow megakaryocytes and platelets
TLDR
The results imply that GPVI and α2β1 have no influence on the localization of megakaryocytes within the bone marrow, their association to the sinusoids or their maturation, since proplatelet formation is mediated by these receptors and their interaction to collagen.
A gain-of-function DIAPH1 variant causes dominant macrothrombocytopenia and hearing loss
TLDR
The identification of DIAPH1, which encodes the Rho-effector diaphanous-related formin 1 (DIAPH1), as a candidate gene for MTP is reported using exome sequencing, ontological phenotyping and similarity regression.
The effects of arterial flow on platelet activation, thrombus growth, and stabilization.
TLDR
How the classical concept of arterial thrombus formation and vascular occlusion, driven by platelet activation and fibrin formation, can be extended and fine-tuned is described.
A gain-of-function variant in DIAPH1 causes dominant macrothrombocytopenia and hearing loss.
TLDR
The identification of DIAPH1, which encodes the Rho-effector diaphanous-related formin 1 (DIAPH1), as a candidate gene for MTP using exome sequencing, ontological phenotyping, and similarity regression and the description of a novel disorder of platelet formation and hearing loss is described.
Aggresome formation is regulated by RanBPM through an interaction with HDAC6
TLDR
It is shown that ionizing radiation (IR) promotes Ran-Binding Protein M (RanBPM) relocalization into discrete perinuclear foci where it co-localizes with aggresome components ubiquitin, dynein and HDAC6, suggesting that the RanBPM perin nuclear clusters correspond to aggresomes.
Characterization of RanBPM Subcellular Localization and Function in HDAC6 Regulation
TLDR
RanBPM is an essential component of aggresomes induced by both ionizing radiation and proteasomal inhibition and is found to inhibit HDAC6-mediated cell migration, suggesting that the tumour suppressor functions of RanBPM stem, in part, from an inhibition of the oncogenic activities ofHDAC6.
The CTLH Complex in Cancer Cell Plasticity
TLDR
The CTLH complex is overexpressed in the most prevalent types of cancer and may hold the key to unlock many of the biological secrets that allow cancer cells to thrive in harsh conditions and resist antineoplastic therapy.

The microtubule modulator RanBP10 plays a critical role in regulation of platelet discoid shape and degranulation.
TLDR
The data suggest that RanBP10 plays an essential role in hemostasis and in maintaining microtubule dynamics with respect to both platelet shape and function.
Multiple alterations of platelet functions dominated by increased secretion in mice lacking Cdc42 in platelets.
TLDR
It is shown that the megakaryocyte/platelet-specific loss of Cdc42 leads to mild thrombocytopenia and a small increase in platelet size in mice, and novel multiple functions of CDC42 in the regulation of platelet activation, granule organization, degranulation, and a specific role in GPIb signaling are identified.
Impaired αIIbβ3 Integrin Activation and Shear-Dependent Thrombus Formation in Mice Lacking Phospholipase D1
TLDR
It is reported that platelets from Pld1−/− mice displayed impaired αIIbβ3 integrin activation in response to major agonists and defective glycoprotein Ib–dependent aggregate formation under high shear conditions, indicating that PLD1 may be a critical regulator of platelet activity in the setting of ischemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
Megakaryocyte-specific RhoA deficiency causes macrothrombocytopenia and defective platelet activation in hemostasis and thrombosis.
TLDR
In vivo, RhoA deficiency resulted in markedly prolonged tail bleeding times but also significant protection in different models of arterial thrombosis and in a model of ischemic stroke, establishing Rho a as an important regulator of platelet function in thromBosis and hemostasis.
Mechanisms and implications of platelet discoid shape.
TLDR
It is shown that structural abnormalities in resting beta1-tubulin-/- platelets include frequent kinks and breaks in the marginal band, which highlights the essential requirements of the megakaryocyte/platelet-restricted beta1 -tubulin isoform in platelet structure and suggests that spherocytosis does not impair many aspects of platelet function.
Influence of a microtubule stabilizing agent on platelet structural physiology.
TLDR
Though it is possible that microtubules dissolve in platelets following activation, the results of this study demonstrate that such an event is not essential for any aspect of the physiologic response of platelets in hemostasis.
Defective platelet activation in G alpha(q)-deficient mice.
TLDR
It is shown that platelets from mice deficient in the alpha-subunit of the heterotrimeric guanine-nucleotide-binding protein Gq are unresponsive to a variety of physiological platelet activators and that G alpha(q) may be a new target for drugs designed to block the activation of platelets.
Hematopoietic-specific β1 tubulin participates in a pathway of platelet biogenesis dependent on the transcription factor NF-E2
TLDR
These findings provide critical mechanistic links between NF-E2, platelet formation, and selected microtubule proteins, and they also provide novel molecular insights into thrombopoiesis.
G13 is an essential mediator of platelet activation in hemostasis and thrombosis
TLDR
It is concluded that G13-mediated signaling processes are required for normal hemostasis and thrombosis and may serve as a new target for antiplatelet drugs.
