    Probing PAC1 receptor activation across species with an engineered sensor

    Reto B Cola, Salome N Niethammer ... Tommaso Patriarchi
    A new genetically encoded sensor robustly detects exogenously applied PAC1R ligands in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo (in zebrafishes and mice) serving as a useful resource for probing PAC1R functions.

    Integrin β4 promotes DNA damage-related drug resistance in triple-negative breast cancer via TNFAIP2/IQGAP1/RAC1

    Huan Fang, Wenlong Ren ... Ceshi Chen
    TNFAIP2 was found to interact with IQGAP1 and Integrin β4, which activates RAC1 through TNFAIP2 and IQGAP1 and confers DNA damage-related drug resistance in triple-negative breast cancer.

    Rif2 protects Rap1-depleted telomeres from MRX-mediated degradation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Fernando Rodrigo Rosas Bringas, Sonia Stinus ... Michael Chang
    Telomere-specific depletion of Rap1, the main sequence-specific telomere-binding protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, can be tolerated due to the presence of secondary telomere capping mechanisms, which may help explain the rapid evolution of budding yeast telomeres.

    The fail-safe mechanism of post-transcriptional silencing of unspliced HAC1 mRNA

    Rachael Di Santo, Soufiane Aboulhouda, David E Weinberg
    The unspliced HAC1 mRNA does not give rise to detectable protein in budding yeast, despite its cytoplasmic localization, due to a two-part post-transcriptional silencing mechanism.

    Rac1-mediated membrane raft localization of PI3K/p110β is required for its activation by GPCRs or PTEN loss

    Onur Cizmecioglu, Jing Ni ... Thomas M Roberts
    A unique two-step mechanism of plasma membrane recruitment and activation governs G-protein-coupled receptor mediated PI3K signaling.

    Specificity in endoplasmic reticulum-stress signaling in yeast entails a step-wise engagement of HAC1 mRNA to clusters of the stress sensor Ire1

    Eelco van Anken, David Pincus ... Peter Walter
    Selective docking of HAC1 mRNA on Ire1 clusters at a site separate from the Ire1 RNase domain is key for endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling.

    Alpha protocadherins and Pyk2 kinase regulate cortical neuron migration and cytoskeletal dynamics via Rac1 GTPase and WAVE complex in mice

    Li Fan, Yichao Lu ... Qiang Wu
    A general cytoplasmic signaling mechanism for the novel functions of diverse alpha protocadherins in cortical neuron migration and actin cytoskeletal dynamics as well as dendrite morphogenesis in the brain.

    De-repression of the RAC activator ELMO1 in cancer stem cells drives progression of TGFβ-deficient squamous cell carcinoma from transition zones

    Heather A McCauley, Véronique Chevrier ... Géraldine Guasch
    A new mechanism connects the loss of TGFβ signaling with invasion and metastasis in highly malignant transition zone tumors.

    Multiple decay events target HAC1 mRNA during splicing to regulate the unfolded protein response

    Patrick D Cherry, Sally E Peach, Jay R Hesselberth
    RNA decay is used at multiple points in the budding yeast unfolded protein response to regulate its suppression and activation, and possibly its attenuation.

    The Cac1 subunit of histone chaperone CAF-1 organizes CAF-1-H3/H4 architecture and tetramerizes histones

    Wallace H Liu, Sarah C Roemer ... Mair EA Churchill
    Biophysical and biochemical approaches reveal new insights into the architecture of CAF-1 and the unique mechanism by which CAF-1 tetramerizes histones H3/H4.
