    High-resolution secretory timeline from vesicle formation at the Golgi to fusion at the plasma membrane in S. cerevisiae

    Robert M Gingras, Abigail M Sulpizio ... Anthony Bretscher
    The first quantitative live-cell microscopy this work shows depicting the order of events preceding secretion in budding yeast.

    Double NPY motifs at the N-terminus of the yeast t-SNARE Sso2 synergistically bind Sec3 to promote membrane fusion

    Maximilian Peer, Hua Yuan ... Gang Dong
    A novel dual-site binding between the yeast t-SNARE Sso2 and Sec3 (a component of the exocyst tethering complex) facilitates the fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane.

    Optogenetic inhibition of actomyosin reveals mechanical bistability of the mesoderm epithelium during Drosophila mesoderm invagination

    Hanqing Guo, Michael Swan, Bing He
    Combined optogenetic and computer modeling approaches reveal how mechanical bistability of the mesoderm epithelium works jointly with apical constriction to facilitate mesoderm invagination in Drosophila, a well-characterized model for epithelial folding.

    The cAMP effector PKA mediates Moody GPCR signaling in Drosophila blood–brain barrier formation and maturation

    Xiaoling Li, Richard Fetter ... Ulrike Gaul
    A polarized Moody/protein kinase A pathway plays an unrecognized central role in controlling the enormous cell growth and blood–brain barrier integrity in a highly coordinated spatiotemporal manner in brain homeostasis.

    Pak1 and PP2A antagonize aPKC function to support cortical tension induced by the Crumbs-Yurt complex

    Cornelia Biehler, Katheryn E Rothenberg ... Patrick Laprise
    Cell biology analyses in Drosophila epithelial tissues reveal novel mechanisms connecting epithelial polarity proteins with Myosin-dependent cell contractility.

    The transcription factor Rreb1 regulates epithelial architecture, invasiveness, and vasculogenesis in early mouse embryos

    Sophie M Morgani, Jie Su ... Anna-Katerina Hadjantonakis
    Loss of the transcription factor Rreb1 results perturbs epithelial architecture during mouse development resulting in invasive cell behaviors, severe cardiovascular defects, and embryonic lethality.

    Co-regulation and function of FOXM1/RHNO1 bidirectional genes in cancer

    Carter J Barger, Linda Chee ... Adam R Karpf
    FOXM1 is co-expressed with its bidirectional gene partner RHNO1, and the two genes promote DNA repair, cell growth and survival, and chemotherapy resistance in ovarian cancer.

    Spatiotemporal recruitment of RhoGTPase protein GRAF inhibits actomyosin ring constriction in Drosophila cellularization

    Swati Sharma, Richa Rikhy
    The RhoGTPase domain containing protein GRAF recruits to the cleavage furrow during myosin II assembly to hydrolyze Rho-GTP and restrict actomyosin contractility for regulating the time of onset of constriction during Drosophila cellularization.

    Methionine restriction breaks obligatory coupling of cell proliferation and death by an oncogene Src in Drosophila

    Hiroshi Nishida, Morihiro Okada ... Sa Kan Yoo
    Src, an oncogene, promotes both cell proliferation and cell death simultaneously, which can be regulated by dietary methionine.

    Glial insulin regulates cooperative or antagonistic Golden goal/Flamingo interactions during photoreceptor axon guidance

    Hiroki Takechi, Satoko Hakeda-Suzuki ... Takashi Suzuki
    Timely regulation of growth cone dynamics, including filopodial and cytoskeletal rearrangements through phosphorylation signals from glial cells, shapes the photoreceptor axon targeting.
