    Calcium influx through CRAC channels controls actin organization and dynamics at the immune synapse

    Catherine A Hartzell, Katarzyna I Jankowska ... Richard S Lewis
    By restricting actin polymerization to the perimeter of the immune synapse and promoting depolymerization, calcium influx drives centripetal actin flow, which confines CRAC channels and the endoplasmic reticulum to the synapse center.

    Ceapins inhibit ATF6α signaling by selectively preventing transport of ATF6α to the Golgi apparatus during ER stress

    Ciara M Gallagher, Peter Walter
    Ceapins specifically inhibit ATF6α signaling by preventing its transport to the Golgi during endoplasmic reticulum stress.

    Ceapins are a new class of unfolded protein response inhibitors, selectively targeting the ATF6α branch

    Ciara M Gallagher, Carolina Garri ... Peter Walter
    Ceapins enable selective pharmacological inhibition of the cytoprotective transcriptional response to endoplasmic reticulum stress through ATF6α without affecting other branches of the unfolded protein response.
