    Acidocalcisome-like vacuoles constitute a feedback-controlled phosphate buffering system for the cytosol

    Samuel Bru, Lydie Michaillat Mayer ... Andreas Mayer
    In vitro reconstitution identifies how lysosome-related vacuoles coordinate the synthesis and turnover of inorganic polyphosphates to create a powerful buffer system stabilising a vital metabolic parameter, the cytosolic concentration of phosphate.

    Human RAP2A homolog of the Drosophila asymmetric cell division regulator Rap2l targets the stemness of glioblastoma stem cells

    Maribel Franco, Ricardo Gargini ... Ana Carmena
    Restitution of RAP2A, human homolog of Drosophila asymmetric cell division regulator Rap2l, in glioblastoma neurosphere cultures targets the stemness of glioblastoma stem cells and could contribute to reduce glioblastoma expansion.

    SMC5/6-mediated plasmid silencing is directed by SIMC1–SLF2 and antagonized by the SV40 large T antigen

    Martina Oravcová, Minghua Nie ... Michael N Boddy
    Distinct SMC5/6 subcomplexes mediate the transcriptional silencing of circular extrachromosomal DNA (SIMC1–SLF2) and repair of chromosomal DNA lesions (SLF1–SLF2), thus enabling exploration of SMC5/6 functions in innate immunity and cancer.

    The RAB27A effector SYTL5 regulates mitophagy and mitochondrial metabolism

    Ana Lapão, Lauren Sophie Johnson ... Anne Simonsen
    RAB27A-dependent mitochondrial recruitment of SYTL5 promotes mitophagy and mitochondrial bioenergetics upon hypoxia.
