    Ternatin and improved synthetic variants kill cancer cells by targeting the elongation factor-1A ternary complex

    Jordan D Carelli, Steven G Sethofer ... Jack Taunton
    An ancient complex comprising the eukaryotic elongation factor-1A and aminoacylated tRNA is shown to be the target of a cyclic heptapeptide and two unrelated natural products with potent anticancer activity.

    The beetle amnion and serosa functionally interact as apposed epithelia

    Maarten Hilbrant, Thorsten Horn ... Kristen A Panfilio
    Late morphogenesis of the insect extraembryonic epithelia involves transient formation of a basal-basal bilayer to coordinate the functional contributions of two discrete tissues.

    Transcriptional activator TAp63 is upregulated in muscular atrophy during ALS and induces the pro-atrophic ubiquitin ligase Trim63

    Yannick von Grabowiecki, Paula Abreu ... Christian Gaiddon
    Atrophic muscles of patients and animal models developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis show an upregulation of TAp63 that stimulates the expression of a pro-atrophic ubiquitin ligase.

    Systematic substrate identification indicates a central role for the metalloprotease ADAM10 in axon targeting and synapse function

    Peer-Hendrik Kuhn, Alessio Vittorio Colombo ... Stefan F Lichtenthaler
    The metalloprotease ADAM10 modulates axon and synapse function by cleaving numerous synaptic and axonal membrane proteins in the central nervous system.

    Localized epigenetic silencing of a damage-activated WNT enhancer limits regeneration in mature Drosophila imaginal discs

    Robin E Harris, Linda Setiawan ... Iswar K Hariharan
    Localized silencing of damage-responsive enhancers can block regenerative growth while permitting those same genes to be used for normal development.

    The Melanocortin Receptor Accessory Protein 2 promotes food intake through inhibition of the Prokineticin Receptor-1

    Anna L Chaly, Dollada Srisai ... Julien A Sebag
    A non-melanocortin G-protein coupled receptor is inhibited by the Melanocortin Receptor Accessory Protein 2 (MRAP2) to control food intake in mammals.

    TBP/TFIID-dependent activation of MyoD target genes in skeletal muscle cells

    Barbora Malecova, Alessandra Dall'Agnese ... Pier Lorenzo Puri
    Genetic and biochemical evidence shows that the basal transcription machinery of muscle cells invariably relies on TBP/TFIID because TBP2 is not expressed in muscle cells, and thus resolves a longstanding issue raised by previous conflicting data.

    Local mechanical forces promote polarized junctional assembly and axis elongation in Drosophila

    Jessica C Yu, Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalez
    Polarized assembly of cell-cell junctions drives Drosophila axis elongation.

    Yeast Eps15-like endocytic protein Pan1p regulates the interaction between endocytic vesicles, endosomes and the actin cytoskeleton

    Junko Y Toshima, Eri Furuya ... Jiro Toshima
    Phosphorylation of the Eps15-like protein Pan1p regulates how endocytic compartments interact with each other and with the actin cytoskeleton.
