    Dot1l interacts with Zc3h10 to activate Ucp1 and other thermogenic genes

    Danielle Yi, Hai P Nguyen ... Hei Sook Sul
    Dot1l and its H3K79 methyltransferase activity are required for thermogenesis, and Dot1l is recruited by Zc3h10 to its targets genes to alter chromatin accessibility to activate the thermogenic gene program.

    Coordinated crosstalk between microtubules and actin by a spectraplakin regulates lumen formation and branching

    Delia Ricolo, Sofia J Araujo
    Lumen formation by single epithelial cells depends on FGF-signalling-dependent expression of a spectraplakin, which can be functionally replaced by Tau.

    Sonic hedgehog signaling directs patterned cell remodeling during cranial neural tube closure

    Eric R Brooks, Mohammed Tarek Islam ... Jennifer A Zallen
    Closure of the cranial neural tube, which is essential for mammalian development, is driven by spatially and temporally patterned cell remodeling events that require positionally regulated Sonic hedgehog signaling.

    Burst mitofusin activation reverses neuromuscular dysfunction in murine CMT2A

    Antonietta Franco, Xiawei Dang ... Gerald W Dorn II
    A trial of mitofusin activation shows neuron regeneration and phenotype reversal in vitro and in vivo in experimental Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 2A caused by mitofusin 2 mutations.

    Functional exploration of heterotrimeric kinesin-II in IFT and ciliary length control in Chlamydomonas

    Shufen Li, Kirsty Y Wan ... Junmin Pan
    Experimental and modelling analyses suggest a non-linear scaling relationship between IFT velocity and ciliary length that can be accounted for by limitation of the motors.

    ACE2: Evidence of role as entry receptor for SARS-CoV-2 and implications in comorbidities

    Natalia Zamorano Cuervo, Nathalie Grandvaux
    Despite evidence that ACE2 is the receptor for SARS-CoV-2, its limited expression in the respiratory system challenges the uniqueness of this entry route and role in the multifaceted COVID-19.

    Atg43 tethers isolation membranes to mitochondria to promote starvation-induced mitophagy in fission yeast

    Tomoyuki Fukuda, Yuki Ebi ... Tomotake Kanki
    Atg43 serves as a selective autophagy receptor by tethering isolation membranes to mitochondria to promote mitophagy and plays a mitophagy-independent role that facilitates normal cell growth in fission yeast.
