    Transferred mitochondria accumulate reactive oxygen species, promoting proliferation

    Chelsea U Kidwell, Joseph R Casalini ... Minna Roh-Johnson
    Transferred mitochondria do not always regulate cell behavior by simply restoring mitochondrial function, but rather, transferred mitochondria are dysfunctional, initiating downstream signaling and proliferation in response to reactive oxygen species.

    Optimized Vivid-derived Magnets photodimerizers for subcellular optogenetics in mammalian cells

    Lorena Benedetti, Jonathan S Marvin ... Pietro De Camilli
    eMags is an engineered photodimerizer pair for optogenetic modulation in mammalian cells that is especially suited for the manipulation of intracellular processes occurring in small volumes or subcellular organelles.

    Edge-strand of BepA interacts with immature LptD on the β-barrel assembly machine to direct it to on- and off-pathways

    Ryoji Miyazaki, Tetsuro Watanabe ... Yoshinori Akiyama
    In vivo crosslinking approaches revealed that the edge-strand of Escherichia coli metallopeptidase BepA interacts with an assembly intermediate of β-barrel outer membrane protein LptD on the outer membrane protein translocon for its targeting to degradation or maturation.

    An ER phospholipid hydrolase drives ER-associated mitochondrial constriction for fission and fusion

    Tricia T Nguyen, Gia K Voeltz
    ABHD16A is a phospholipid-modifying endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein required for both mitochondrial fission and fusion machinery recruitment to ER-associated mitochondrial constrictions.

    Crosstalk between the chloroplast protein import and SUMO systems revealed through genetic and molecular investigation in Arabidopsis

    Samuel James Watson, Na Li ... R Paul Jarvis
    The small ubiquitin-like modifier system directly regulates components of the chloroplast protein import apparatus, that is, TOC proteins, to control chloroplast biogenesis and plant development.

    Phylogenomic analysis supports the ancestral presence of LPS-outer membranes in the Firmicutes

    Luisa CS Antunes, Daniel Poppleton ... Simonetta Gribaldo
    Phylogenomics provides support for the Gram-positive type of bacterial cell envelope being a derived character that arose independently multiple times through loss of an ancestral outer membrane.

    Multi-functional roles for the polypeptide transport associated domains of Toc75 in chloroplast protein import

    Yamuna D Paila, Lynn GL Richardson ... Danny J Schnell
    The conserved polypeptide transport associated (POTRA) domains of the protein import channel, Toc75, are essential for protein import into chloroplasts.

    Formation of a β-barrel membrane protein is catalyzed by the interior surface of the assembly machine protein BamA

    James Lee, David Tomasek ... Daniel Kahne
    Outer membrane β-barrel proteins in Gram-negative bacteria are assembled within the lumen of the BamA β-barrel.
