    Misfolded GPI-anchored proteins are escorted through the secretory pathway by ER-derived factors

    Eszter Zavodszky, Ramanujan S Hegde
    ER-resident chaperones and cargo receptors make excursions to the cell surface and endocytic compartments when they accompany misfolded clients to lysosomes for degradation.

    Transcriptional control of subtype switching ensures adaptation and growth of pancreatic cancer

    Christina R Adams, Htet Htwe Htwe ... Rushika M Perera
    The GLI2 transcription factor is a master regulator of the aggressive basal-like subtype of pancreatic cancer and enables adaptation to oncogenic KRAS ablation.

    Human pancreatic cancer cell exosomes, but not human normal cell exosomes, act as an initiator in cell transformation

    Karoliina Stefanius, Kelly Servage ... Kim Orth
    Exosomes secreted from pancreatic cancer cells can function as a classic initiator in the multi-step cellular transformation process.

    Mammalian cell growth dynamics in mitosis

    Teemu P Miettinen, Joon Ho Kang ... Scott R Manalis
    High-resolution single-cell mass accumulation and protein synthesis rate measurements are used to quantify the extent, dynamics and consequences of animal cell growth in mitosis and cytokinesis.

    Generation of endogenous pH-sensitive EGF receptor and its application in high-throughput screening for proteins involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis

    Mads Breum Larsen, Mireia Perez Verdaguer ... Alexander Sorkin
    CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing was used to generate a novel endogenous pH-sensitive EGF receptor chimera with the unique utility to study receptor endocytosis in a single-cell and high-throughput experimental formats.

    Neck linker docking is critical for Kinesin-1 force generation in cells but at a cost to motor speed and processivity

    Breane G Budaitis, Shashank Jariwala ... Kristen J Verhey
    Force generation by kinesin motor proteins requires formation of both a 2-stranded cover-neck bundle and an asparagine-based latch for transport of membrane-bound cargoes in cells.

    HRI coordinates translation necessary for protein homeostasis and mitochondrial function in erythropoiesis

    Shuping Zhang, Alejandra Macias-Garcia ... Jane-Jane Chen
    The heme and HRI-mediated eIF2aP–ATF4 integrated stress response in erythropoiesis has a major global impact, especially under the stress condition of iron deficiency.

    PAX8 regulon in human ovarian cancer links lineage dependency with epigenetic vulnerability to HDAC inhibitors

    Kaixuan Shi, Xia Yin ... Guanglei Zhuang
    A functional ovarian-specific PAX8-centric regulon is susceptible to FDA-approved HDAC inhibitors, providing the rationale to target human cancers driven by lineage-survival oncogenes with epigenetic therapeutics perturbing the enhancer topology.

    GPCR signaling inhibits mTORC1 via PKA phosphorylation of Raptor

    Jenna L Jewell, Vivian Fu ... Kun-Liang Guan
    Protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylates Raptor and inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity.

    Stable Pom1 clusters form a glucose-modulated concentration gradient that regulates mitotic entry

    Corey A H Allard, Hannah E Opalko, James B Moseley
    Dynamic signaling protein clusters sample and map the cell surface to ensure that cells divide at the proper size.
