    Rescuable sleep and synaptogenesis phenotypes in a Drosophila model of O-GlcNAc transferase intellectual disability

    Ignacy Czajewski, Bijayalaxmi Swain ... Daan MF van Aalten
    Modelling O-GlcNAc transferase intellectual disability reveals the roles of this post-translational modification in regulating normal axonal terminal morphology and maintaining appropriate sleep homeostasis, pharmacological and genetic rescues of O-GlcNAcylation highlight the complexities of addressing this disorder.

    Pathogenic variants of sphingomyelin synthase SMS2 disrupt lipid landscapes in the secretory pathway

    Tolulope Sokoya, Jan Parolek ... Joost CM Holthuis
    Organellar lipidomics and lipid reporter studies in intact cells reveal how disease-relevant mutations in a sphingolipid biosynthetic enzyme cause a wide-ranging perturbation of lipid distributions and membrane properties along the secretory pathway.

    Single-molecule analysis of the entire perfringolysin O pore formation pathway

    Conall McGuinness, James C Walsh ... Till Böcking
    Arc-shaped PFO oligomers consisting of at least four subunits can insert into the membrane in a kinetically controlled process opening a transmembrane pore, whereby post-insertion growth may ultimately lead to formation of a complete ring.

    Protein-lipid interaction at low pH induces oligomerization of the MakA cytotoxin from Vibrio cholerae

    Aftab Nadeem, Alexandra Berg ... Sun Nyunt Wai
    MakA, a pore-forming cytotoxin produced by Vibrio cholerae, forms oligomers and remodels membranes into high-curvature tubes, resulting in membrane integrity loss inside acidified organelle lumens or when cultured with cells in an acidic medium.
