TANGO1 functions as a linactant filament to stabilize shallow COPII-coated buds, and after which membrane tension regulation, possibly mediated by TANGO1-controlled membrane fusion, facilitates bud elongation for procollagen export.
Collaborative transcription factors (TFs) exhibit a dominant pattern of a relaxed range of spacing and substantial tolerance of spacing alterations resulting from naturally occurring insertions and deletions in comparison to genetic variants directly affecting TF binding sites.
Lumen formation by single epithelial cells depends on FGF-signalling-dependent expression of a spectraplakin, which can be functionally replaced by Tau.
High-throughput and ultra-stable magnetic tweezers reveal that Remdesivir induces a long-lived backtrack pause upon incorporation by the coronavirus polymerase, and SARS-CoV-2 is able to evade interferon-induced antiviral ddhCTP.

Killer T cells swarm around tumour targets by accelerating the recruitment of distant T cells, which upon arrival and target engagement augment the chemotactic signal in a positive feedback loop.
The local PI(4,5)P2 nanodomain promotes the dimerization and activation of EGFR in the plasma membrane, whereas activated EGFR dissolves the nanodomain structure of PI(4,5)P2 through PLCγ.
In vitro assays using Xenopus egg extracts provide evidence that mitosis-specific loading of condensin I is accelerated by phosphorylation of the N-terminal tail of its kleisin subunit.
