    Thrombospondin-4 controls matrix assembly during development and repair of myotendinous junctions

    Arul Subramanian, Thomas F Schilling
    Functional attachments between muscles and tendons require pentameric Thrombospondin-4, revealing novel roles both as an integrin ligand and extracellular matrix scaffold.

    Synergy between Wsp1 and Dip1 may initiate assembly of endocytic actin networks

    Connor J Balzer, Michael L James ... Brad J Nolen
    An activator of branching nucleation by Arp2/3 complex directly synergizes with an activator of linear filament nucleation to initiate assembly of actin networks that drive endocytosis.

    mTORC1-induced retinal progenitor cell overproliferation leads to accelerated mitotic aging and degeneration of descendent Müller glia

    Soyeon Lim, You-Joung Kim ... Jin Woo Kim
    Comprehensive mouse genetic analyses show, by having mTORC1 constitutively active, a RPC divides and exhausts mitotic capacity faster than neighboring RPCs, and thus produces retinal cells that degenerate with aging-related changes in the mature mouse retina.

    Cooperation of mitochondrial and ER factors in quality control of tail-anchored proteins

    Verena Dederer, Anton Khmelinskii ... Marius K Lemberg
    The endoplasmic reticulum E3 ubiquitin ligase Doa10 and the mitochondrial AAA-ATPase Msp1 govern targeting fidelity of outer mitochondrial tail-anchored proteins by controlling cytoplasmic concentration and extracting mistargeted and orphan species.

    Genetic interactions of G-quadruplexes in humans

    Katherine G Zyner, Darcie S Mulhearn ... Shankar Balasubramanian
    For the first time, the spectrum of genes and pathways interacting with alternative DNA structures called G-quadruplexes in humans is revealed highlighting new possibilities for the pursuit of cancer therapies.

    Plasmodium-infected erythrocytes induce secretion of IGFBP7 to form type II rosettes and escape phagocytosis

    Wenn-Chyau Lee, Bruce Russell ... Laurent Renia
    Plasmodium parasites use host-derived factors to form more rosettes and hamper phagocytosis, representing a new escape mechanism for the malaria parasites.

    The mTOR pathway genes MTOR, Rheb, Depdc5, Pten, and Tsc1 have convergent and divergent impacts on cortical neuron development and function

    Lena H Nguyen, Youfen Xu ... Angelique Bordey
    Expression of mTORC1 pathway gene variants in mouse medial prefrontal cortex leads to shared alterations in pyramidal neuron morphology, positioning, and membrane excitability but different changes in excitatory synaptic transmission.

    RNA N6-methyladenosine modulates endothelial atherogenic responses to disturbed flow in mice

    Bochuan Li, Ting Zhang ... Degang Liang
    METTL3 and m6A modifications could alleviate endothelial activation and atherogenesis through accelerated degradation of oscillatory flow-induced EGFR mRNA expression.

    Peroxiredoxin promotes longevity and H2O2-resistance in yeast through redox-modulation of protein kinase A

    Friederike Roger, Cecilia Picazo ... Mikael Molin
    The major cytosolic yeast peroxiredoxin Tsa1 controls aging and H2O2-resistance by inhibiting protein kinase A through a conserved cysteine in the catalytic subunit activation loop and not by scavenging H2O2.

    Inner membrane complex proteomics reveals a palmitoylation regulation critical for intraerythrocytic development of malaria parasite

    Pengge Qian, Xu Wang ... Jing Yuan
    A systemic proteome of the pellicle organelle inner membrane complex (IMC) provides new insight for the intraerythrocytic proliferation of malaria parasite and identifies the palmitoyl-acyl-transferase DHHC2 as a key enzyme regulating the localization of IMC proteins through palmitoylation.
