    Probing the catalytic functions of Bub1 kinase using the small molecule inhibitors BAY-320 and BAY-524

    Anna P Baron, Conrad von Schubert ... Erich A Nigg
    Chemical inhibition of Bub1 shows that the catalytic activity is not required for normal mitotic progression, but it makes chromosome segregation and cell proliferation more sensitive to the effects of the anti-cancer drug Paclitaxel.

    Mapping translation 'hot-spots' in live cells by tracking single molecules of mRNA and ribosomes

    Zachary B Katz, Brian P English ... Robert H Singer
    A method that involves simultaneous tracking of individual mRNAs and their associated ribosomes can be used to determine when and where individual molecules get translated in living cells.

    A feedback mechanism converts individual cell features into a supracellular ECM structure in Drosophila trachea

    Arzu Öztürk-Çolak, Bernard Moussian ... Jordi Casanova
    Cell-cell junctions and the actin cytoskeleton are key players in the organisation and patterning of the extracellular matrix (ECM) on the apical side of tracheal cells.

    A deep proteomics perspective on CRM1-mediated nuclear export and nucleocytoplasmic partitioning

    Koray Kırlı, Samir Karaca ... Dirk Görlich
    A new resource quantifying the distribution of 5,000 individual proteins between nucleus and cytoplasm, as well as identifying 2,800 yeast, human and frog proteins that are exported from the nucleus by the exportin CRM1/Xpo1.

    Super-resolution kinetochore tracking reveals the mechanisms of human sister kinetochore directional switching

    Nigel J Burroughs, Edward F Harry, Andrew D McAinsh
    Directional switching of sister chromatids during mitosis is regulated by a mechanical clock that is sensitive to the stretch of centromeric chromatin between the chromatids.
