    Near-atomic structures of the BBSome reveal the basis for BBSome activation and binding to GPCR cargoes

    Shuang Yang, Kriti Bahl ... Maxence V Nachury
    Membrane recruitment of BBSome is coupled to a conformational change, and interaction of the BBSome with GPCR cargoes depends on the GPCRs releasing their amphipathic helix 8 from the membrane.

    Structure of the HOPS tethering complex, a lysosomal membrane fusion machinery

    Dmitry Shvarev, Jannis Schoppe ... Christian Ungermann
    The structure of the yeast HOPS tethering complex suggests how this large complex may catalyze fusion by tethering Rab-decorated membranes and promoting the assembly of SNAREs.

    Crystal structure of intraflagellar transport protein 80 reveals a homo-dimer required for ciliogenesis

    Michael Taschner, Anna Lorentzen ... Esben Lorentzen
    CRISPR/Cas knockout of intraflagellar transport protein 80 shows that this subunit is absolutely required for ciliogenesis, and biophysical studies reveal that this protein may dimerize the intraflagellar transport complex.

    Dynamic density shaping of photokinetic E. coli

    Giacomo Frangipane, Dario Dell'Arciprete ... Roberto Di Leonardo
    The concentration of motile bacteria, expressing a light-driven proton pump, can be precisely controlled in space and time by spatially modulating their swimming speeds with a structured light pattern.
