    MCPH1 inhibits Condensin II during interphase by regulating its SMC2-Kleisin interface

    Martin Houlard, Erin E Cutts ... Kim Nasmyth
    Chromosome condensation by condensin II is inhibited during interphase by direct interaction with MCPH1, which regulates opening of the condensin II interface between SMC2 and NCAPH2, in a similar fashion to how WAPL regulates Cohesin.

    Cyclin F drives proliferation through SCF-dependent degradation of the retinoblastoma-like tumor suppressor p130/RBL2

    Taylor P Enrico, Wayne Stallaert ... Michael J Emanuele
    The SCF-family of ubiquitin ligases regulates the key cancer proliferation node by controlling the degradation of RB-like tumor suppressor RBL2/p130.

    Rpl24Bst mutation suppresses colorectal cancer by promoting eEF2 phosphorylation via eEF2K

    John RP Knight, Nikola Vlahov ... Owen J Sansom
    Signalling that maintains rapid translation elongation in KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer models can be targeted by mutation of the ribosomal protein RPL24 to suppress tumour proliferation.

    Fluidics system for resolving concentration-dependent effects of dissolved gases on tissue metabolism

    Varun Kamat, Brian M Robbings ... Ian R Sweet
    The ability to resolve previously unrecognized affects of O2 and H2S by a novel fluidics system foretell a far-reaching impact of the technology on the study of effects of dissolved gases on tissue function.

    Capping protein regulates endosomal trafficking by controlling F-actin density around endocytic vesicles and recruiting RAB5 effectors

    Dawei Wang, Zuodong Ye ... Jianbo Yue
    CapZ controls actin filament density around immature early endosomes via its C-terminal domain to facilitate the homotypic fusion of the endocytic vesicles, and it functions as a scaffold protein via its N-terminal domain to recruit RAB5 effectors to early endosomes.

    EGFR transactivates RON to drive oncogenic crosstalk

    Carolina Franco Nitta, Ellen W Green ... Diane S Lidke
    Unidirectional crosstalk occurs between signaling competent EGFR dimers activating RON within heteromeric complexes at the plasma membrane.

    Patched 1 reduces the accessibility of cholesterol in the outer leaflet of membranes

    Maia Kinnebrew, Giovanni Luchetti ... Rajat Rohatgi
    Cholesterol accessibility in the plasma membrane can be controlled by proteins and function as a signaling messenger in cell-cell communication pathways.

    ANTH domains within CALM, HIP1R, and Sla2 recognize ubiquitin internalization signals

    Natalya Pashkova, Lokesh Gakhar ... Robert C Piper
    The family of ANTH domain proteins serve as adaptors to endocytose ubiquitinated proteins from the cell surface.

    Type 1 polyisoprenoid diphosphate phosphatase modulates geranylgeranyl-mediated control of HMG CoA reductase and UBIAD1

    Rania Elsabrouty, Youngah Jo ... Russell A DeBose-Boyd
    Type 1 polyisoprenoid diphosphate phosphatase (PDP1) contributes to interconversion of isoprenols and isoprenylpyrophosphates, balancing the sterol and nonsterol branches of the mevalonate pathway by regulating ERAD of HMG CoA reductase and ER-to-Golgi transport of UBIAD1.
