    Theoretical analysis reveals a role for RAF conformational autoinhibition in paradoxical activation

    Gaurav Mendiratta, Edward Stites
    Mathematical modeling shows how RAF inhibitors can actually activate RAF kinases by stabilizing RAF proteins in the conformation capable of dimerization.

    An antagonism between Spinophilin and Syd-1 operates upstream of memory-promoting presynaptic long-term plasticity

    Niraja Ramesh, Marc Escher ... Stephan J Sigrist
    An antagonism between Spinophilin and Syd-1 converge on presynaptic actin to control presynaptic plasticity and memory consolidation in the Drosophila mushroom body.

    β-Arrestin-dependent and -independent endosomal G protein activation by the vasopressin type 2 receptor

    Carole Daly, Akim Abdul Guseinov ... Bianca Plouffe
    The vasopressin type 2 receptor promotes dual Gαs and Gαq/11 signaling at early endosomes in β-arrestin-dependent and -independent manners.

    Regulation of presynaptic Ca2+ channel abundance at active zones through a balance of delivery and turnover

    Karen L Cunningham, Chad W Sauvola ... J Troy Littleton
    Voltage-gated calcium channel delivery to synaptic active zones (AZs) occurs broadly across the population, correlates with AZ size, and is regulated by α2δ, while channel recycling is promoted by new delivery to generate an upper limit on AZ accumulation.

    Self-assembly of pericentriolar material in interphase cells lacking centrioles

    Fangrui Chen, Jingchao Wu ... Anna Akhmanova
    In the absence of centrioles, components of pericentriolar material can self-organize into a single compact microtubule-organizing center through dynein-mediated transport of pericentrin-containing protein complexes if CAMSAP- and Golgi-mediated pathways of microtubule minus-end stabilization and anchoring are disabled.

    Chemogenetics defines a short-chain fatty acid receptor gut–brain axis

    Natasja Barki, Daniele Bolognini ... Graeme Milligan
    The G protein-coupled receptors FFA2 and FFA3, activated by short-chain fatty acids, are mediators of a gut–brain axis.

    Complex effects of kinase localization revealed by compartment-specific regulation of protein kinase A activity

    Rebecca LaCroix, Benjamin Lin ... Andre Levchenko
    The regulatory subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) can both activate and suppress the PKA activity at the plasma membrane, with its graded membrane localization capable of inducing a switch in cell migration.

    Identification of a stereotypic molecular arrangement of endogenous glycine receptors at spinal cord synapses

    Stephanie A Maynard, Philippe Rostaing ... Christian G Specht
    Quantitative super-resolution correlative light and electron microscopy reveals a constant glycine receptor density at native spinal cord synapses that is maintained in the oscillator mouse model of human hyperekplexia.

    The decoy SNARE Tomosyn sets tonic versus phasic release properties and is required for homeostatic synaptic plasticity

    Chad W Sauvola, Yulia Akbergenova ... J Troy Littleton
    Loss of the decoy SNARE Tomosyn enhances synaptic vesicle docking and neurotransmitter release and regulates release and plasticity differences between tonic and phasic motoneurons in Drosophila.

    Endothelial pannexin 1–TRPV4 channel signaling lowers pulmonary arterial pressure in mice

    Zdravka Daneva, Matteo Ottolini ... Swapnil K Sonkusare
    Endothelial pannexin 1-P2Y2 purinergic receptor-TRPV4 channel signaling, facilitated by caveolin-1, is a novel pathway for lowering pulmonary arterial pressure.
