A branch to the protein prenylation pathway has been previously overlooked.

A new stress granule assembly mechanism has implications for other RNP granules and pathological aggregates.

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.

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.

The exon junction complex regulates the cell polarity determinant Discs large 1, which acts independently from its role in cell polarity to protect Dishevelled protein from lysosomal degradation in Wingless/Wnt signaling.

Phylogenomics provides support for the Gram-positive type of bacterial cell envelope being a derived character that arose independently multiple times through loss of an ancestral outer membrane.

The protease γ-secretase generates amyloid-beta peptides using a mechanism that is driven by the stabilization of an enzyme-substrate scisson complex.

A new purification method for stereocilia membranes enables efficient immunoaffinity purification of rare protein complexes from hair cell stereocilia, including the newly described complex of deafness genes PDZD7 and MYO7A.
