    Membrane binding controls ordered self-assembly of animal septins

    Agata Szuba, Fouzia Bano ... Gijsje H Koenderink
    Nanoscaleimaging reveals that animal septins form dense filamentous networks on biomimeticlipid membranes, explaining how septins may regulate cell surface rigidity.

    The structure of the COPII transport-vesicle coat assembled on membranes

    Giulia Zanetti, Simone Prinz ... John AG Briggs
    A structure of the complete, membrane bound, COPII coat solved by sub-tomogram averaging reveals the arrangement of all protein subunits on the membrane and suggests a mechanism for coating heterogeneously-shaped carriers.

    The autophagic membrane tether ATG2A transfers lipids between membranes

    Shintaro Maeda, Chinatsu Otomo, Takanori Otomo
    The autophagy protein ATG2A tethers membranes and transfers lipids between them, suggesting that autophagosome membranes grow upon the acquisition of lipids from the ER through the ATG2A bridge.

    A molecular tweezer antagonizes seminal amyloids and HIV infection

    Edina Lump, Laura M Castellano ... Jan Münch
    CLR01 is a small molecule that could be an effective topical microbicide to eliminate HIV (and other enveloped viruses), and to antagonize host-encoded amyloid fibrils that promote HIV infection.

    Dynamic clustering of dynamin-amphiphysin helices regulates membrane constriction and fission coupled with GTP hydrolysis

    Tetsuya Takeda, Toshiya Kozai ... Kohji Takei
    A new approach using combination of electron microscopy (EM) and high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) clearly demonstrates dynamics of dynamin-amphiphysin complexes during membrane constriction and fission suggesting a novel 'clusterase' model of the dynamin-mediated membrane fission.

    Methylation at the C-2 position of hopanoids increases rigidity in native bacterial membranes

    Chia-Hung Wu, Maja Bialecka-Fornal, Dianne K Newman
    Methylation specifically enhances the ability of hopanoids to rigidify membranes under physiologically relevant conditions, which impacts the current interpretation of the 2-methylhopane fossil record.

    Cooperative regulation by G proteins and Na+ of neuronal GIRK2 K+ channels

    Weiwei Wang, Kouki K Touhara ... Roderick MacKinnon
    Determining how GIRK2 activity depends on the concentration of Gβγ subunits in lipid membranes at different Na+ concentrations has allowed the Gβγ concentration generated during GABAB activation in neurons to be estimated.
