    Heparan sulfate-dependent phase separation of CCL5 and its chemotactic activity

    Xiaolin Yu, Guangfei Duan ... Shi-Zhong Luo
    A biochemical approach shows co-phase separation of CCL5 with heparan sulfate establishes a specific chemokine concentration gradient for chemotactic activity.

    Identification of a third myosin-5a-melanophilin interaction that mediates the association of myosin-5a with melanosomes

    Jiabin Pan, Rui Zhou ... Xiang-dong Li
    In addition to the exon-F-binding domain and the globular tail domain-binding motif, the actin-binding domain of melanophilin interacts with myosin-5a tail region and mediates the association of myosin-5a with melanosomes.
