    An efficient targeted nuclease strategy for high-resolution mapping of DNA binding sites

    Peter J Skene, Steven Henikoff
    CUT&RUN (Cleavage Under Targets & Release Using Nuclease) profiles antibody-targeted DNA-binding proteins in situ with high resolution and low background, providing a simple, robust and scalable alternative to chromatin immunoprecipitation.

    Human VPS13A is associated with multiple organelles and influences mitochondrial morphology and lipid droplet motility

    Wondwossen M Yeshaw, Marianne van der Zwaag ... Ody CM Sibon
    VPS13A is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and lipid droplets and is required for cellular processes that require interaction between these organells.

    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.

    Movement of accessible plasma membrane cholesterol by the GRAMD1 lipid transfer protein complex

    Tomoki Naito, Bilge Ercan ... Yasunori Saheki
    GRAMD1 proteins sense a transient expansion of the accessible pool of plasma membrane cholesterol and facilitate its transport to the endoplasmic reticulum at ER-PM contact sites.

    Regulation of store-operated Ca2+ entry by IP3 receptors independent of their ability to release Ca2+

    Pragnya Chakraborty, Bipan Kumar Deb ... Gaiti Hasan
    Binding of the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate to its intracellular receptor drives interaction between the intracellular Ca2+ sensor STIM and the plasma membrane localized Ca2+ channel Orai and raises the level of store-operated Ca2+ entry in mammalian cells.

    The ORP9-ORP11 dimer promotes sphingomyelin synthesis

    Birol Cabukusta, Shalom Borst Pauwels ... Jacques Neefjes
    Lipid transfer proteins at the ER-Golgi interface synchronize intracellular lipid flows through the secretory pathway, ensuring the asymmetric lipid composition of the plasma membrane.

    ER-associated mitochondrial division links the distribution of mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA in yeast

    Andrew Murley, Laura L Lackner ... Jodi Nunnari
    Sites at which mitochondria contact the endoplasmic reticulum co-localize the replication of mitochondria and their DNA to help ensure that DNA is distributed appropriately between the newly formed organelles in cells.

    Cytoneme-mediated cell-cell contacts for Hedgehog reception

    Laura González-Méndez, Irene Seijo-Barandiarán, Isabel Guerrero
    Direct interaction between Hedgehog-sending and Hedgehog-receiving cytonemes is a fundamental mechanism for morphogen transfer and gradient establishment.

    Social contact patterns and implications for infectious disease transmission – a systematic review and meta-analysis of contact surveys

    Andria Mousa, Peter Winskill ... Charles Whittaker
    Differences in patterns of social contact between settings have consequences for the spread and transmission of respiratory pathogens and the effectiveness of different measures aimed at their control.

    DIP2 is a unique regulator of diacylglycerol lipid homeostasis in eukaryotes

    Sudipta Mondal, Priyadarshan Kinatukara ... Rajan Sankaranarayanan
    DIP2 is a conserved protein across fungi and animals that regulates specific diacylglycerol pools by diverting them to storage lipid biosynthesis to enable cellular homeostasis and adaptations.
