    Overcoming the nutritional immunity by engineering iron-scavenging bacteria for cancer therapy

    Sin-Wei Huang, See-Khai Lim ... Kurt Yun Mou
    Bacterial therapy can be impeded by nutrition deprivation in the tumor microenvironment, and enhancing bacteria resistance to iron sequestration enhances its antitumoral activity for therapeutic purposes.

    Glucose restriction drives spatial reorganization of mevalonate metabolism

    Sean Rogers, Hanaa Hariri ... W Mike Henne
    Genetic and biochemical analyses, coupled with fluorescence imaging, reveal that spatial compartmentalization of HMG-CoA Reductases at yeast ER-lysosome contacts modulates mevalonate pathway flux during glucose restriction, enabling metabolic adaptation.

    The C9ORF72 GGGGCC expansion forms RNA G-quadruplex inclusions and sequesters hnRNP H to disrupt splicing in ALS brains

    Erin G Conlon, Lei Lu ... James L Manley
    The C9orf72 expansion binds and sequesters the splicing factor hnRNP H leading to insoluble G-quadruplex aggregates that functionally reduce hnRNP H, thereby producing splicing defects.

    The wtf4 meiotic driver utilizes controlled protein aggregation to generate selective cell death

    Nicole L Nuckolls, Anthony C Mok ... Sarah E Zanders
    The Wtf4 antidote protein assembles with the Wtf4 poison protein and promotes the transportation of the assembled proteins to the vacuole for sequestration or destruction.

    A novel mechanism of gland formation in zebrafish involving transdifferentiation of renal epithelial cells and live cell extrusion

    Richard W Naylor, Hao-Han G Chang ... Alan J Davidson
    A rare example of direct transdifferentiation is discovered in zebrafish in which kidney epithelial cells change into an endocrine gland and undergo live-cell extrusion from the renal tubule.

    RETRACTED: Proteasome storage granules protect proteasomes from autophagic degradation upon carbon starvation

    Richard S Marshall, Richard D Vierstra
    Proteasomes are protected from autophagic elimination upon carbon starvation by sequestration into cytoplasmic storage granules, which aid cell fitness by providing a cache of proteasomes that can be rapidly remobilized when carbon availability improves.

    Degradation of engulfed mitochondria is rate-limiting in Optineurin-mediated mitophagy in neurons

    Chantell S Evans, Erika LF Holzbaur
    In neuronal mitophagy, Parkin and OPTN induce efficient sequestration of damaged somal mitochondria into autophagosomes, but slow turnover via lysosomal acidification may be a point of vulnerability for the cell.

    Ebola virus sequesters IRF3 in viral inclusion bodies to evade host antiviral immunity

    Lin Zhu, Jing Jin ... Cheng Cao
    Ebola virus VP35 protein evades host antiviral immunity by interacting with STING to sequester IRF3 into inclusion bodies and inhibit type I interferon production.

    Symmetry breaking meets multisite modification

    Vaidhiswaran Ramesh, J Krishnan
    Network symmetry represents a new vantage point for dissecting complex information processing characteristics in multisite modification, and the breaking of symmetry can confer ordering of modification and absolute concentration robustness.

    Spatial quality control bypasses cell-based limitations on proteostasis to promote prion curing

    Courtney L Klaips, Megan L Hochstrasser ... Tricia R Serio
    Cell division imposes a limit on proteostasis capacity by reducing chaperone accumulation, but chaperone-substrate interactions reverse these events to allow clearance of even chronically misfolded protein amyloids.
