    Ezrin defines TSC complex activation at endosomal compartments through EGFR–AKT signaling

    Giuliana Giamundo, Daniela Intartaglia ... Ivan Conte
    Ezrin controls endo-lysosomal signaling by maintaining TSC inhibition through EGFR signaling, activating mTORC1, and inhibiting lysosomal function, unveiling a critical endosome–lysosome network essential for autophagy and cellular homeostasis.

    Pharmacologic activation of integrated stress response kinases inhibits pathologic mitochondrial fragmentation

    Kelsey R Baron, Samantha Oviedo ... R Luke Wiseman
    Compounds that activate integrated stress response kinases inhibit mitochondrial fragmentation induced by chemical or genetic insults, indicating that targeting this pathway offers opportunities to mitigate mitochondrial fragmentation in diverse diseases.

    SERBP1 interacts with PARP1 and is present in PARylation-dependent protein complexes regulating splicing, cell division, and ribosome biogenesis

    Kira Breunig, Xuifen Lei ... Luiz O Penalva
    SERBP1 is associate with protein complexes regulating splicing, cell division, and ribosomal biogenesis that likely depend on G quadruplex (G4) binding and polyADP-ribosylation (PARylation) for their assembly and function.

    A molecular proximity sensor based on an engineered, dual-component guide RNA

    Junhong Choi, Wei Chen ... Jay Shendure
    In P3 editing, molecular interactions are sensed and converted directly into genome editing events, which may be useful for biological recording and synthetic molecular circuits deployed in living cells.

    Brain areas for reversible symbolic reference, a potential singularity of the human brain

    Timo van Kerkoerle, Louise Pape ... Ghislaine Dehaene-Lambertz
    Humans spontaneously reverse learned associations while macaque monkeys do not, providing a minimal test of a distinctive human capacity for symbolic representations.

    Interleukin-1 prevents SARS-CoV-2-induced membrane fusion to restrict viral transmission via induction of actin bundles

    Xu Zheng, Shi Yu ... Guangxun Meng
    Interleukin-1 activates RhoA/ROCK signaling, which drives the enrichment of actin bundles at the cell-cell junctions, preventing SARS-CoV-2 spreading via syncytia formation.

    Decoding phase separation of prion-like domains through data-driven scaling laws

    M Julia Maristany, Anne Aguirre Gonzalez ... Jerelle A Joseph
    Phase diagrams for 140 variants of prion-like low-complexity domains are computed to establish scaling laws that quantify the impact of amino acid mutations on the thermodynamic stability of condensates.

    Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) activity is modulated by light and gates rapid phase shifts of the circadian clock

    Andrea Brenna, Micaela Borsa ... Urs Albrecht
    The light-modulated protein kinase CDK5 is important for phase shifts of the circadian clock, impacting phase delays through calcium influx and signaling pathways, crucial for adapting to jet lag.
