    Structural organization and dynamics of FCHo2 docking on membranes

    Fatima El Alaoui, Ignacio Casuso ... Laura Picas
    The pioneering endocytic protein FCHo2 promotes clathrin-coated structures assembly via the formation of phosphoinositide-enriched domains at the boundary of cargo receptors.

    The VINE complex is an endosomal VPS9-domain GEF and SNX-BAR coat

    Shawn P Shortill, Mia S Frier ... Elizabeth Conibear
    The yeast VARP homolog forms a new sorting nexin complex that promotes its own membrane recruitment through GEF activity and regulates the distribution of endosomal proteins.

    Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 searches DNA via a ‘monkey bar’ mechanism

    Johannes Rudolph, Jyothi Mahadevan ... Karolin Luger
    By moving between DNA segments like a child swinging on monkey bars, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 explores possible DNA damage sites more effectively.

    Transition between fermentation and respiration determines history-dependent behavior in fluctuating carbon sources

    Bram Cerulus, Abbas Jariani ... Kevin J Verstrepen
    Live-cell microscopy and genome-wide screens reveal how slow transitions in metabolism can underlie metabolic memory, providing a model for organisms demonstrating similar history-dependent behaviour and routes to improve industrial microbes.

    Insights into cargo sorting by SNX32 and its role in neurite outgrowth

    Jini Sugatha, Amulya Priya ... Sunando Datta
    The adaptive SNX32 regulates cargo sorting in neuronal and non-neuronal cells.

    Synaptojanin cooperates in vivo with endophilin through an unexpected mechanism

    Yongming Dong, Yueyang Gou ... Jihong Bai
    The Sac1 phosphatase domain, rather than the proline-rich domain, plays an essential role in synaptojanin activity during endocytosis.

    Dynamic recruitment of the curvature-sensitive protein ArhGAP44 to nanoscale membrane deformations limits exploratory filopodia initiation in neurons

    Milos Galic, Feng-Chiao Tsai ... Tobias Meyer
    Local inward plasma membrane deformations caused by actomyosin-dependent contraction trigger the dynamic recruitment of a curvature-sensitive actin-regulatory protein, which represents a receptor-independent auto-regulatory mechanism to control local actin polymerization dynamics at the plasma membrane.

    SNX9-induced membrane tubulation regulates CD28 cluster stability and signalling

    Manuela Ecker, Richard Schregle ... Jeremie Rossy
    Sorting nexin 9, a membrane curvature inducing protein, creates a distinct environment within clusters of the co-receptor CD28 and thereby allows T cell activation to proceed to a successful outcome.

    Ablation of SNX6 leads to defects in synaptic function of CA1 pyramidal neurons and spatial memory

    Yang Niu, Zhonghua Dai ... Jia-Jia Liu
    SNX6 regulates the distribution of a protein called Homer1b/c to distal dendrites, enabling the latter to stabilize the synapses and thereby support memory formation.

    Functional interdependence of the actin nucleator Cobl and Cobl-like in dendritic arbor development

    Maryam Izadi, Eric Seemann ... Michael M Kessels
    Extended biochemical and functional analyses in primary neurons show that early neuronal morphogenesis critically relies on cooperation of the actin nucleator Cobl and its ancestor Cobl-like and uncover their cooperative mechanisms at dendritic branch initiation sites.
