    Developmentally regulated H2Av buffering via dynamic sequestration to lipid droplets in Drosophila embryos

    Matthew Richard Johnson, Roxan Amanda Stephenson ... Michael Andreas Welte
    In early Drosophila embryos, histone H2Av continuously exchanges between cytoplasmic lipid droplets, a process that modulates H2Av import into nuclei and constitutes a novel post-translational strategy to regulate nuclear H2Av levels.

    Reactivation of RNA metabolism underlies somatic restoration after adult reproductive diapause in C. elegans

    Nikolay Burnaevskiy, Shengying Chen ... Matt Kaeberlein
    Morphological and functional rejuvenation upon exit from adult reproductive diapause in C. elegans is independent of germline signaling, but instead involves somatic nucleolar activation and expansion of the RNA pool.

    Structural insights into the architecture and membrane interactions of the conserved COMMD proteins

    Michael D Healy, Manuela K Hospenthal ... Rajesh Ghai
    A structural basis for the assembly of core subunits of the Commander Complex has been discovered.

    Measuring NDC80 binding reveals the molecular basis of tension-dependent kinetochore-microtubule attachments

    Tae Yeon Yoo, Jeong-Mo Choi ... Daniel J Needleman
    Quantitative experiments and theory show that the tension-dependent regulation of NDC80 binding to kinetochore microtubules arises from a combination of the changing Aurora B concentration at NDC80 and the nonlinearity of Aurora B autoactivation.

    Radially patterned cell behaviours during tube budding from an epithelium

    Yara E Sanchez-Corrales, Guy B Blanchard, Katja Röper
    Quantitative analysis in quasi-3D reveals apically driven cell behaviours that are closely coordinated across the tissue to allow ordered tube invagination through a focal point.

    Wnt/PCP controls spreading of Wnt/β-catenin signals by cytonemes in vertebrates

    Benjamin Mattes, Yonglong Dang ... Steffen Scholpp
    Wnt signaling regulates its effective signaling range by controlling Wnt ligand transport on signaling filopodia within vertebrate tissues.

    Multiple inputs ensure yeast cell size homeostasis during cell cycle progression

    Cecilia Garmendia-Torres, Olivier Tassy ... Gilles Charvin
    Yeast cell size homeostasis is not controlled by a G1-specific mechanism alone but is likely to be an emergent property resulting from the integration of several mechanisms that coordinate cell and bud growth with division.

    A quantitative approach for analyzing the spatio-temporal distribution of 3D intracellular events in fluorescence microscopy

    Thierry Pécot, Liu Zengzhen ... Charles Kervrann
    QuantEv is a fully automatic and semi-parametric method that allows quantitative analysis of the spatio-temporal distribution of complex molecular trafficking objects at the scale of the whole cell.

    Timing of ESCRT-III protein recruitment and membrane scission during HIV-1 assembly

    Daniel S Johnson, Marina Bleck, Sanford M Simon
    During viral assembly, ESCRTIII and VPS4 are recruited after most of the HIV-1 membrane is bent but disappear prior to scission of the virion from the cell.

    Cortical dynein pulling mechanism is regulated by differentially targeted attachment molecule Num1

    Safia Omer, Samuel R Greenberg, Wei-Lih Lee
    Dynein-dependent microtubule-cortex interactions – "side-on" versus "end-on" pulling – are regulated by cortical ER and mediated by distinct pools of cortical anchor that are differentially localized along the cell periphery.
