The cohesin subunit Scc1 returns and reconstitutes the complex with Smc1–Smc3 in late mitosis upon DNA double-strand breaks, although it does not participate in homologous recombination-driven MAT switching.

Sub-membrane microtubule array, known to prevent excessive glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, depends on kinesin-1 KIF5B, which moves microtubules to both generate and remodel this array, potentially regulating the dosage of secretion.

A size exclusion strategy using PEGylation of isoprenaline allowed to demonstrate that cardiac β-adrenergic receptors located in the outer surface membrane control mainly cAMP/PKA in the cytosol while those located in the T-tubule membrane control cAMP/PKA in the nucleus.

Protein–protein interactions and localization dependencies between septin cytoskeleton and the exocyst complex using the fission yeast model system reveal one of the most conserved functions of septins in exocytosis.

Experiments on yeast show that the nuclear pore complex has a central role in the loss of chromosomes associated with aging.

Aging results in remodeling of the nuclear pore complex and leakage of intron-containing pre-mRNA out of the nucleus, altering gene function and mitotic stability of old cells.

Intermolecular steric repulsion generated by glycans on the cell membrane inhibits viral infection by preventing the formation of a virus-cell interface, regardless of the identity of molecules for glycan modification.
