    Formin-like 1β phosphorylation at S1086 is necessary for secretory polarized traffic of exosomes at the immune synapse in Jurkat T lymphocytes

    Javier Ruiz-Navarro, Sara Fernández-Hermira ... Manuel Izquierdo Pastor
    FMNL1β is phosphorylated on S1086 in a protein kinase C δ (PKCδ)-dependent manner and S1086-phosphorylated FMNL1β acts downstream of PKCδ to regulate centrosome and multivesicular bodies polarization to the immunological synapse and exosome release.

    Deciphering the actin structure-dependent preferential cooperative binding of cofilin

    Kien Xuan Ngo, Huong T Vu ... Taro Uyeda
    HS-AFM and Principal Component Analysis provide experimental evidence to substantiate the 'proof of principle' regarding the flexible helical twists of actin filaments that regulate the functions of actin-binding proteins.

    FMNL2 regulates actin for endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria distribution in oocyte meiosis

    Meng-Hao Pan, Kun-Huan Zhang ... Shao-Chen Sun
    FMNL2 associates with Formin2 and Arp2/3 complex for actin assembly, which further regulates spindle migration and INF2/Cofilin-related organelle dynamics during mammalian oocyte maturation.

    Rho GTPase signaling and mDia facilitate endocytosis via presynaptic actin

    Kristine Oevel, Svea Hohensee ... Volker Haucke
    Genetic and pharmacological tools are used to dissect the mechanisms by which the presynaptic actin cytoskeleton facilitates membrane internalization at synapses and, thereby, neurotransmission.

    The proteolysis of ZP proteins is essential to control cell membrane structure and integrity of developing tracheal tubes in Drosophila

    Leonard Drees, Susi Schneider ... Matthias Behr
    Genetic analyses reveal the importance of dynamic protein processing at the apical cell membrane in response to forces damaging cell membranes during tube expansion in tubular organs.

    Scavenger receptor endocytosis controls apical membrane morphogenesis in the Drosophila airways

    Ana Sofia Pinheiro, Vasilios Tsarouhas ... Christos Samakovlis
    During tracheal morphogenesis, the scavenger receptor Emp senses and responds to luminal cargo levels by initiating apical membrane endocytosis along the longitudinal tube axis to restrict airway elongation.

    Ablation of palladin in adult heart causes dilated cardiomyopathy associated with intercalated disc abnormalities

    Giuseppina Mastrototaro, Pierluigi Carullo ... Marie-Louise Bang
    FHOD1 and CARP/Ankrd1 interact with the N-terminal region of palladin and cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of palladin in adult, but not embryonic, mice leads to dilated cardiomyopathy associated with intercalated disc widening.

    Myosin II regulatory light chain phosphorylation and formin availability modulate cytokinesis upon changes in carbohydrate metabolism

    Francisco Prieto-Ruiz, Elisa Gómez-Gil ... José Cansado
    A highly sophisticated and adaptive interplay between modulation of myosin II function by light chain phosphorylation and environmentally controlled formin availability, is critical for a successful cytokinesis during respiratory carbohydrate metabolism in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
