    Coordinated recruitment of Spir actin nucleators and myosin V motors to Rab11 vesicle membranes

    Olena Pylypenko, Tobias Welz ... Eugen Kerkhoff
    Components of a Spir:MyoV:Rab11 complex are recruited synergistically to coordinate actin tracks generation and myosin motor activity in vesicle transport processes.

    QIL1 mutation causes MICOS disassembly and early onset fatal mitochondrial encephalopathy with liver disease

    Virginia Guarani, Claude Jardel ... Manuel Schiff
    Building on previous work (Guarani et al., 2015), MICOS (mitochondrial contact site) assembly and cristae junction formation are shown to have a critical role in human health.

    Rewiring MAP kinases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to regulate novel targets through ubiquitination

    Benjamin Groves, Arjun Khakhar ... Georg Seelig
    Two sets of modular components are sufficient to rewire MAPKs to regulate proteins through ubiquitination – a complementary pair of protein interaction domains and a phosphodegron.

    Tim29 is a novel subunit of the human TIM22 translocase and is involved in complex assembly and stability

    Yilin Kang, Michael James Baker ... Diana Stojanovski
    A novel and metazoan-specific protein, Tim29, is identified as a subunit of the human TIM22 complex and shown to function in the assembly of hTim22 and facilitate contacts with the TOM complex.

    A shunt pathway limits the CaaX processing of Hsp40 Ydj1p and regulates Ydj1p-dependent phenotypes

    Emily R Hildebrandt, Michael Cheng ... Walter K Schmidt
    A branch to the protein prenylation pathway has been previously overlooked.

    Distinct stages in stress granule assembly and disassembly

    Joshua R Wheeler, Tyler Matheny ... Roy Parker
    A new stress granule assembly mechanism has implications for other RNP granules and pathological aggregates.

    Stacking the odds for Golgi cisternal maturation

    Somya Mani, Mukund Thattai
    A screen of tens of thousands of vesicle traffic networks in silico shows that Golgi-like cisternal maturation is a natural outcome of vesicle traffic homeostasis.

    Spatial control of translation repression and polarized growth by conserved NDR kinase Orb6 and RNA-binding protein Sts5

    Illyce Nuñez, Marbelys Rodriguez Pino ... Fulvia Verde
    NDR kinase Orb6 prevents RNP granule assembly and translational repression by promoting Sts5 association with 14-3-3 protein Rad24 to spatially control polarized cell growth.
