    Discrete spatial organization of TGFβ receptors couples receptor multimerization and signaling to cellular tension

    Joanna P Rys, Christopher C DuFort ... Tamara N Alliston
    Cells control the spatial organization and signaling of TGFβ receptors at focal adhesions via a mechanically regulated mechanism to integrate biochemical and physical cues.

    Phosphorylation and activation of ubiquitin-specific protease-14 by Akt regulates the ubiquitin-proteasome system

    Daichao Xu, Bing Shan ... Junying Yuan
    Akt can regulate the ubiquitin-proteasome system by mediating phosphorylation and activation of USP14, which may have implications in the control of global proteostasis by growth factors and in tumorigenesis.

    Quantitative H2S-mediated protein sulfhydration reveals metabolic reprogramming during the integrated stress response

    Xing-Huang Gao, Dawid Krokowski ... Maria Hatzoglou
    ATF4, the master regulator of transcription during the Integrated Stress Response (ISR), causes global changes in cysteine sulfhydration of proteins and this event causes cellular metabolic reprogramming.

    Greatwall promotes cell transformation by hyperactivating AKT in human malignancies

    Jorge Vera, Lydia Lartigue ... Anna Castro
    Greatwall is a new oncogene that induces AKT hyperphosphorylation by promoting the degradation of the phosphatase PHLPP.

    ATP hydrolysis by the viral RNA sensor RIG-I prevents unintentional recognition of self-RNA

    Charlotte Lässig, Sarah Matheisl ... Karl-Peter Hopfner
    Mutations within the ATPase domain of RIG-I in patients with Singleton-Merten Syndrome prevent ATP-hydrolysis dependent dissociation of RIG-I from double-stranded RNA and lead to unintentional constitutive signaling through increased binding of endogenous RNA.

    Evaluation of predictions of the stochastic model of organelle production based on exact distributions

    C Jeremy Craven
    A reanalysis of the stochastic model of organelle production (Mukherji and O'Shea, 2014) suggests that this model requires significant further discussion.

    Structural basis for activation, assembly and membrane binding of ESCRT-III Snf7 filaments

    Shaogeng Tang, W Mike Henne ... Scott D Emr
    Snf7 crystal structures reveal the mechanisms of ESCRT-III activation and polymerization into membrane-remodeling filaments.

    Crumbs is an essential regulator of cytoskeletal dynamics and cell-cell adhesion during dorsal closure in Drosophila

    David Flores-Benitez, Elisabeth Knust
    The evolutionarily conserved polarity protein Crumbs links the regulation of cytoskeleton dynamics and cell-cell adhesion with epithelial morphogenesis.

    Role of competition between polarity sites in establishing a unique front

    Chi-Fang Wu, Jian-Geng Chiou ... Daniel J Lew
    In budding yeast, nascent polarity sites engage in a winner-takes-all contest to determine a single front.

    TAPBPR alters MHC class I peptide presentation by functioning as a peptide exchange catalyst

    Clemens Hermann, Andy van Hateren ... Louise H Boyle
    We reveal TAPBPR is a peptide exchange catalyst which restricts the peptide repertoire presented by MHC I on cells, a finding which has important implications for all aspects of immune recognition.
