    Kazrin promotes dynein/dynactin-dependent traffic from early to recycling endosomes

    Ines Hernandez-Perez, Javier Rubio ... María Isabel Geli
    Kazrin, a protein widely expressed in vertebrates whose depletion causes defects in cell adhesion and migration, is recruited to early endosomes and promotes dynein/dynactin-dependent traffic of endocytosed cargo to the recycling endosomes.

    PTEN controls glandular morphogenesis through a juxtamembrane β-Arrestin1/ARHGAP21 scaffolding complex

    Arman Javadi, Ravi K Deevi ... Frederick C Campbell
    PTEN organizes multicellular architecture by non-catalytic scaffolding of spatially localized β-Arrestin1/ARHGAP21/Cdc42 protein complexes to control mitotic spindle orientation, multicellular configuration and lumen formation.

    Death following traumatic brain injury in Drosophila is associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction

    Rebeccah J Katzenberger, Stanislava Chtarbanova ... David A Wassarman
    Use of a newly developed experimental model in fruit flies reveals that death following traumatic brain injury is largely due to a mechanism by which brain damage triggers disruption of the intestinal barrier, leading to elevated levels of glucose in the circulatory system with deleterious consequences.

    The exocyst complex controls multiple events in the pathway of regulated exocytosis

    Sofía Suárez Freire, Sebastián Perez-Pandolfo ... Mariana Melani
    Gradual downregulation of each of the subunits of the evolutionary-conserved exocyst holocomplex shows that the complex is required for biogenesis, maturation, and exocytosis of secretory granules in Drosophila salivary glands.

    High fat diet induces microbiota-dependent silencing of enteroendocrine cells

    Lihua Ye, Olaf Mueller ... John F Rawls
    Enteroendocrine cells sense nutrients in the gut and regulate digestive physiology but are rendered insensitive following fat ingestion due to alteration of gut microbiota.

    Mapping the functional versatility and fragility of Ras GTPase signaling circuits through in vitro network reconstitution

    Scott M Coyle, Wendell A Lim
    A systems level reconstitution of H-Ras GTPase signaling reveals a rich space of tunable dynamic outputs and clarifies the consequences of oncogenic perturbations to signaling.

    Deconstruction of the Ras switching cycle through saturation mutagenesis

    Pradeep Bandaru, Neel H Shah ... John Kuriyan
    Sequence conservation in Ras depends strongly on the biochemical network in which it operates, providing a framework for understanding the origin of global selection pressures on proteins.

    A polarity pathway for exocyst-dependent intracellular tube extension

    Joshua Abrams, Jeremy Nance
    Lumen extension in intracellular tubes relies on a molecular pathway involving Rho GTPase signaling, cell polarity, and vesicle-tethering proteins.

    In vivo identification of GTPase interactors by mitochondrial relocalization and proximity biotinylation

    Alison K Gillingham, Jessie Bertram ... Sean Munro
    Relocation of Rab, Ras and Rho family GTPases to the surface of mitochondria enables efficient identification of their effectors, exchange factors and GAPs by proximity biotinylation.

    Filamin, a synaptic organizer in Drosophila, determines glutamate receptor composition and membrane growth

    GaYoung Lee, Thomas L Schwarz
    Filamin, by recruiting a signaling complex to the postsynapse, orchestrates the correct formation and growth of postsynaptic membranes and localization of glutamate receptor subunits.
