    Translational control of polyamine metabolism by CNBP is required for Drosophila locomotor function

    Sonia Coni, Federica A Falconio ... Laura Ciapponi
    A decrease of the type 2 myotonic dystrophy gene product CNBP causes an impairment of polyamine metabolism and locomotor dysfunction that can be reverted with polyamine supplementation.

    Bipartite binding and partial inhibition links DEPTOR and mTOR in a mutually antagonistic embrace

    Maren Heimhalt, Alex Berndt ... Roger L Williams
    The inhibitory protein DEPTOR make two widely separated interactions with mTOR that are both necessary for its unique partial mTOR inhibition, and DEPTOR is a more potent inhibitor of mutation- or RHEB-activated mTORC1 than basal mTORC1.

    Regulation of human mTOR complexes by DEPTOR

    Matthias Wälchli, Karolin Berneiser ... Timm Maier
    Structural and functional analysis reveals the mechanistic basis for mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)-dependent roles of DEP domain-containing mTOR interacting protein (DEPTOR) in cancer and metabolic regulation.

    The mechanism of MICU-dependent gating of the mitochondrial Ca2+uniporter

    Vivek Garg, Junji Suzuki ... Yuriy Kirichok
    A comprehensive functional analysis of mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU) demonstrates that the auxiliary MICU subunits potentiate Ca2+ transport via MCU.

    Identification of abscission checkpoint bodies as structures that regulate ESCRT factors to control abscission timing

    Lauren K Strohacker, Douglas R Mackay ... Katharine S Ullman
    Cytoplasmic bodies sequester important abscission machinery to delay completion of cytokinesis in response to mitotic errors.

    Endothelial junctional membrane protrusions serve as hotspots for neutrophil transmigration

    Janine JG Arts, Eike K Mahlandt ... Jaap D van Buul
    Neutrophils use dorsal membrane protrusions of endothelial cells to cross the vascular wall.

    Hsp40s play complementary roles in the prevention of tau amyloid formation

    Rose Irwin, Ofrah Faust ... Rina Rosenzweig
    Chaperones from different families and classes synergistically target different stages of tau aggregation, thus preventing pathological amyloid formation.

    Addressing shortfalls of laboratory HbA1c using a model that incorporates red cell lifespan

    Yongjin Xu, Richard M Bergenstal ... Ramzi A Ajjan
    The person-specific adjusted HbA1c addresses non-glycaemic variation in laboratory HbA1c due to red blood cell lifespan differences, potentially providing a better marker to predict diabetes complications and guide glycaemic management.

    In situ cryo-ET structure of phycobilisome–photosystem II supercomplex from red alga

    Meijing Li, Jianfei Ma ... Sen-Fang Sui
    The nature of the phycobilisome–photosystem II supercomplex on the native thylakoid determined with cryo-electron tomography at an unprecedented resolution reveals that one phycobilisome interconnects with six photosystem monomers.
