    Mechanism of synergistic activation of Arp2/3 complex by cortactin and N-WASP

    Luke A Helgeson, Brad J Nolen
    Single-molecule TIRF microscopy, biochemical assays and mathematical modeling demonstrate how actin-branch nucleation by the Arp2/3 complex is coordinately regulated by two biochemically distinct activators.

    Regulated aggregative multicellularity in a close unicellular relative of metazoa

    Arnau Sebé-Pedrós, Manuel Irimia ... Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo
    The transition to the aggregative stage of Capsaspora owczarzaki, a close unicellular relative to Metazoa, is associated with significant upregulation of orthologs of genes that are important for multicellularity in metazoans.

    Brassinosteroids control root epidermal cell fate via direct regulation of a MYB-bHLH-WD40 complex by GSK3-like kinases

    Yinwei Cheng, Wenjiao Zhu ... Xuelu Wang
    Brassinosteroids signal through a pathway involving GSK3-like kinases and the WER-GL3/EGL3-TTG1 transcription factor complex to determine the fate of cells in the root epidermis.

    tRNA synthetase counteracts c-Myc to develop functional vasculature

    Yi Shi, Xiaoling Xu ... Xiang-Lei Yang
    In addition to its cytoplasmic role for translation, the seryl-tRNA synthetase also antagonizes the c-Myc transcription factor in the nucleus to transcriptionally repress the growth factor VEGFA and ensure proper development of the vasculature in vertebrates.

    The basic leucine zipper transcription factor NFIL3 directs the development of a common innate lymphoid cell precursor

    Xiaofei Yu, Yuhao Wang ... Lora V Hooper
    The transcription factor NFIL3 is essential for the development of a committed bone marrow precursor that gives rise to all known innate lymphoid cell lineages in mice.

    Dynamic filopodia are required for chemokine-dependent intracellular polarization during guided cell migration in vivo

    Dana Meyen, Katsiaryna Tarbashevich ... Erez Raz
    Functional analysis of filopodia by specific interference with their formation and distribution reveals a critical role in conferring intracellular polarity and in controlling the dynamic properties of chemokine-guided cell migration in vivo.

    STIL binding to Polo-box 3 of PLK4 regulates centriole duplication

    Christian Arquint, Anna-Maria Gabryjonczyk ... Timm Maier
    Binding of STIL to PLK4's characteristic Polo-box 3 links PLK4 kinase activation to STIL self-association and is a crucial regulatory step for the localized recruitment of downstream factors in centriole duplication.

    Chemical perturbation of an intrinsically disordered region of TFIID distinguishes two modes of transcription initiation

    Zhengjian Zhang, Zarko Boskovic ... Robert Tjian
    An inorganic tin oxochloride cluster specifically binds to an intrinsically disordered, histidine-rich, low complexity protein region and arrests de novo transcription initiation without affecting reinitiation.

    A Mammalian enhancer trap resource for discovering and manipulating neuronal cell types

    Yasuyuki Shima, Ken Sugino ... Sacha B Nelson
    A novel transposon-based enhancer trap screen in mice permits high throughput development of highly restricted driver strains targeting specific neuronal cell types.

    An evolutionarily conserved mechanism for cAMP elicited axonal regeneration involves direct activation of the dual leucine zipper kinase DLK

    Yan Hao, Erin Frey ... Catherine Collins
    Axonal damage sensing kinase DLK is a direct target and mediator of the cAMP effector kinase PKA in a unified mechanism for stimulating axonal regeneration.
