    Cell detoxification of secondary metabolites by P4-ATPase-mediated vesicle transport

    Yujie Li, Hui Ren ... Yan Pei
    P4-ATPase BbCrpa detoxifies secondary metabolites via a unique vesicle-mediated transport pathway that targets the compounds into vacuoles.

    Massive palmitoylation-dependent endocytosis during reoxygenation of anoxic cardiac muscle

    Mei-Jung Lin, Michael Fine ... Donald W Hilgemann
    Reoxygenation of anoxic cardiac tissue promotes massive endocytosis that is triggered by release of coenzymeA from mitochondria, followed by palmitoylation of membrane proteins, sarcolemma vesiculation, and transfer of sarolemma vesicles to large endosomes and vacuoles.

    Whole brain delivery of an instability-prone Mecp2 transgene improves behavioral and molecular pathological defects in mouse models of Rett syndrome

    Mirko Luoni, Serena Giannelli ... Vania Broccoli
    Global brain transduction of the instability-prone Mecp2 transgene by systemic AAV-PHP.eB administration is safe and effective in protecting male and female Mecp2 mutant mice from the Rett syndrome disease phenotype.

    De novo synthesis of a sunscreen compound in vertebrates

    Andrew R Osborn, Khaled H Almabruk ... Taifo Mahmud
    Many vertebrates are able to synthesize a sunscreen compound de novo and the pathway involved can be used for heterologous production of the compound in yeast.

    Massive endocytosis triggered by surface membrane palmitoylation under mitochondrial control in BHK fibroblasts

    Donald W Hilgemann, Michael Fine ... Mei-Jung Lin
    Mitochondria can trigger massive endocytosis by releasing coenzyme A into the cytoplasm and thereby promoting the addition of fatty acids to surface membrane proteins.

    Intrinsic disorder within AKAP79 fine-tunes anchored phosphatase activity toward substrates and drug sensitivity

    Patrick J Nygren, Sohum Mehta ... John D Scott
    Flexibility is a defining feature of AKAP kinase-phosphatase assemblies and points toward a mechanism whereby combinatorial recruitment of binding partners tailors the overall conformation of the macromolecular assembly, allowing customized physiological roles.

    MicroRNA-mediated control of developmental lymphangiogenesis

    Hyun Min Jung, Ciara T Hu ... Brant M Weinstein
    Lymphatic-enriched microRNA miR-204 is required for lymphatic development through its effects on the key lymphatic transcription factor NFATC1.

    Presynaptic PTPσ regulates postsynaptic NMDA receptor function through direct adhesion-independent mechanisms

    Kyungdeok Kim, Wangyong Shin ... Eunjoon Kim
    Presynaptic adhesion molecule PTPσ in the hippocampus regulates postsynaptic NMDA receptor function and behavioral novelty recognition through mechanisms independent of their trans-synaptic binding partners.

    Class-A penicillin binding proteins do not contribute to cell shape but repair cell-wall defects

    Antoine Vigouroux, Baptiste Cordier ... Sven van Teeffelen
    Class-A penicillin-binding proteins are dispensable for rod-like cell-shape but essential for mechanical integrity by sensing and repairing cell-wall defects locally, as investigated in the model system Escherichia coli.
